The Devil You Know: A Novel Audiobook

Quotes

• “The Devil You Know manages simultaneously to be funny, sweet, hip, and utterly terrifying. Elisabeth de Mariaffi has written a smart, unique thriller.”

  — Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Cinderella Murder

• “In Canadian writer de Mariaffi’s debut mystery, a 1982 abduction and murder teaches girls growing up in Toronto how to be afraid…With so many thrillers cheaply exploiting violence against girls and women, de Mariaffi’s  treatment of the topic, through Evie’s vulnerable yet empowered voice, is refreshingly reverent.”

  — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

• “Set in and around Toronto in 1993, Canadian author de Mariaffi’s artful first novel chronicles the efforts of journalist Evie Jones to track down the man who murdered a friend of hers…Hooked readers will silently implore Evie to refrain from entering a basement or a cabin in the woods in pursuit of a story—and a killer.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “The author (whose short story collection How to Get Along with Women was longlisted for the Giller Prize) expertly builds suspense throughout this character-driven debut novel. As it nears its climax, readers will dread turning the pages for fear of what comes next.”

  — Library Journal

• “A gripping literary thriller that will get under your skin and burrow into your every waking thought. You’ll see a little bit of yourself in Evie Jones, and you’ll find yourself looking over your shoulder even more after reading this creepy, chilling, and hauntingly beautiful book.”

  — Chevy Stevens, author of Still Missing

• “A first novel rich with menace and psychological depth, The Devil You Know transports in the dangerous way of a nightmare but remains grounded—even more dangerously—in the way of a documentary. Elisabeth de Mariaffi delivers a thriller that thrills in so many ways.”

  — Andrew Pyper, author of The Demonologist
