One of Us Knows by Alyssa Cole
🖤 A twisty, locked-island thriller where survival means confronting both the killer—and yourself.
From New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Cole, comes a chilling, suspense-filled novel perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Tana French, and Lisa Jewell. One of Us Knows is a high-stakes psychological thriller that weaves a murder mystery with a powerful story of mental health, identity, and second chances.
Kenetria Nash was once a rising star in historic preservation—until a traumatic breakdown and a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder forced her to step back from her career. Years later, she and her alters have been offered an unexpected new beginning: become the live-in caretaker of a secluded Hudson River estate on Kavanaugh Island.
But when a deadly Nor’easter strands Ken and a group of conservation trustees—including a man from her past—with no way off the island, secrets begin to unravel. And when someone turns up dead, Ken becomes the prime suspect.
Now, Ken and her alters must work together to unravel the mystery before time—and the storm—runs out.
