Synopsis

After his wife and two children are killed in a car crash, Ryan Tapia starts a new life in Maine. But his first case there is a puzzling oddball—the corpse of a fisherman washes up on federal land, while the man's boat drifts into waters that are part of an Indian reservation. Ryan quickly learns the nuances of Maine life as he delves into two illicit coastal trades: hard drugs and rare fish. Many of the locals are happy to see that particular fisherman dead. What's more, they are not shy about noting that Ryan must have screwed up pretty badly to be posted to such a remote location as Bangor, Maine.

Undaunted, Ryan works to understand the unforgiving way of life on Liberty Island, where people live by an older, harsher code. Adrift on a sailboat one day, he encounters a man from the Malpense tribe, living as a hermit on a remote island, who witnessed something that fateful day.

In his riveting crime debut, New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks turns his literary talents to land he knows deeply, from working in the Maine woods and trapping lobsters year-round. Everyone Knows But You is a rich and dynamic crime novel that brings a unique part of America to vivid, thrilling life.

Seeing that a book is set in Maine will always stir my curiosity. I always want to see if a book is able to capture the vibe of my state. I never thought I'd encounter the situation where a strong sense of place would be the problem for a book. There are things that this book does very well. I just......more

DNF at 46% Nothing has happened in this book. I’ve been given a lot of descriptions about Maine, lobstering, ripping off tourists, some side stories about this person or that, but zero has happened with the actual case 👎 Thanks netgalley......more

Goodreads review by Josephine on June 17, 2024

This is a short high quality audio mystery. The narrator was too happy throughtout which I found very strange. Although this was a mystery a lot of the time was spent describing the people,places and fishing techniques etc. The mystery itself seemed to suddenly be solved at 90% . It felt very matter......more
