55 year old empty nester—and freshly retired FBI agent—Kate Wise finds herself drawn out of her quiet suburban life when her friend’s daughter is murdered in a home invasion—and she is implored to help.
Kate thought she left the FBI behind after 30 years as their top agent, respected for her brilliant mind, tough street skills and her uncanny ability to hunt down serial killers. Yet Kate, bored with the quiet town, at a crossroads in life, is summoned by a friend she can’t turn down.
As Kate hunts the killer, she soon finds herself at the forefront of a manhunt, as more bodies turn up—all suburban moms in perfect marriages—and it becomes apparent there is a serial killer stalking this quiet town. She unearths secrets from her neighbors she wishes she never knew, discovering that all is not what it seems in this picture of model streets and neighbors. Affairs and lying are rampant, and Kate must sift through the town’s underbelly if she will stop the killer from striking again.
But this killer is one step ahead of her, and it may end up being Kate who is in danger.
An action-packed thriller with heart-pounding suspense, IF SHE KNEW is book #1 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night.
Book #2 in the KATE WISE MYSTERY series is available for pre-order!

4By rainbowcat5A bit slow at first, and a bit too much retirement angst at times, but a good readGood read
4By Nemi SWIt was well-written. And fun to read. However, it was irritating the agents missed some obvious procedural issues. Can’t say more, or I’ll spoil it…Bad.
1By Nanerpuss1This was a one dimensional female character. It was insulting The way the fight scenes with suspects were written. No FBI agent would show up without a weapon. One has no clue why she would be Revere as an agent. Total wasted time. Not a riveting mystery at all.I feel the title fits.
5By WillnnicaI enjoyed reading, If She Knew. I was a quick gripping thriller with plenty o of twists. It is an entertaining page turner-especially if you enjoy crime mysteries with a strong female lead. It is a mix of suspense and psychology. It is a quick read.if she knew

5By OnebzemomKept you guessing - Wise had lots of decisions to make - the murderer was sneaky - all in all, a good read!It's kind of scary.
5By Loco dodo strucureI have been reading this book for a few days and find it a little interesting, but a little scary. I'm timid to read it cautiously.When you describe houses it is very soothing and gave me good sleep.
5By scarynovelchic8719Ok, it was so well written,I picture it like a movie, all the places described from the first incident with her parents was beautiful because as an agent she was very brave, I can see the setting and how she felt, I even felt the energy in this one.Great book!
