A page-turner about the murder of a teenage girl, from the author of Lacy Eye. On a cold December day in northern upstate New York, the body of high school senior Joy Enright is discovered in the woods at the edge of a pond. She had been presumed drowned, but an autopsy shows that she was, in fact, strangled. As the investigation unfolds, four characters tell the story from widely divergent perspectives: Susanne, Joy's mother and a professor at the local art college; Martin, a black graduate student suspected of the murder; Harper, Joy's best friend and a potential eyewitness; and Tom, a rescue diver and son-in-law of the town's police chief. As a web of small-town secrets comes to light, a dramatic conclusion reveals the truth about Joy's death.

Reviews for How Will I Know You?

If you were one of the millions who were captivated by the deftly plotted guessing game that was Gone Girl - then treat yourself to this equally beguiling and just as pitch-black thriller... Great characters, a smart plot, full of heart and feeling. Brilliant. - Sunday Mirror on If She Did It Jessica Treadway draws her characters into an impossible knot and then expertly teases it apart. The question of what happened to Joy kept me up half the night - Orange Prize winner Ann Patchett
