Book Talk: Scottoline, ‘Someone Knows’

First, you may think that Lisa Scottoline has written a YA book. She has not.

This book is written from several POVs, and the first fourteen chapters (99 pages) are from 15-year-old teens (Allie, Sasha, David, Julian, and Kyle). Because it’s written in their voice, it’s an easy mistake.

The rest of the book is a mix of the teens and their parents (Linda Garvey, Allie’s mother; Daphne Barrow, Sasha’s mother; Bill Hybrinski, David’s father; Scot Browne, Julian’s father and the real-estate developer of the community in which they all live; Barb Gallaher, Kyle’s mother; and Larry Rucci, Allie’s father (who is divorced from her mother). Sounds complicated, but it’s not.
