—— Canberra Times

Nicola Moriarty has a gift for domestic drama, cracking pace, and skilful narrative timing

—— Sydney Morning Herald

Clever, tense and jam-packed with twists and turns you won't see coming . . . while there's quite a large cast of characters to follow, you never lose track of what's happening thanks to Moriarty's polished writing and character-work. Dark, twisty and utterly enthralling, You Need to Know is a gripping domestic thriller with Netflix written all over it. It is yet another unputdownable read from the very talented Nicola Moriarty

—— Better Reading

You Need to Know offers a tense, well-crafted storyline, interesting, multifaceted characters, and a sensational climax. I think Nicola Moriarty has found her niche in the Aussie domestic thriller genre

—— Book'd Out

Moriarty has delivered another gripping domestic drama about secrets, lies and fractured families. She builds the tension so expertly, with twists and turns leading towards one cracking end, that you may well need to see a chiropractor afterwards

A brilliant thriller
