From nationally bestselling author K.L. Armstrong comes a new heartstopping, propulsive, race-against-the-clock thriller.
How far will you go to protect the only family you have?
When Amy Gibson's mother is brutally murdered by her boyfriend, Amy's world is completely undone. Overcome with grief and heartache, she withdraws from everything around her—college, her friends, her entire life. Until her estranged half-brother, Oliver, saves her, pulling her back into her life and giving her family. Giving her a home.
Eight years later, she's picked herself up and has worked hard to move forward. She’s the host of a popular true crime podcast that focuses on crimes against women committed by their partners and is finding purpose and healing through helping women in ways she couldn't help her mother.
And then Oliver is accused of the unthinkable—something that is so unlike him. Something that horrifies Amy. But desperate to save the only family she has, she sets out to prove her brother's innocence.
But as the days pass and more information about Oliver and his past slowly comes to light, Amy begins realizing that nothing is ever as it seems—especially when it comes to family.




This story follows a young woman named Amy whose mother was killed by a boyfriend when she tried to end the relationship. Amy withdraws from pretty much her whole life until an estranged step-brother shows up to help bring her back out into the world. She decides to use her experience to let others know of the dangers of some relationships. Then her brother is accused of being a predator himself.
This was a fun story of trying to figure out did Oliver do what he’s accused of? Did Amy not see a predator right in front of her when she’s been trying to help others? Or is it that things are being taken out of context.
Known to the Victim was a great stand alone story. I had a great time with it. Armstrong captivated me with her characters as she always has. I still prefer her series over the stand-alone stories because I like having more time with her characters, but this was a great start to finish story.

I’m curious if her brother was hiding another life she didn’t know about and if he did the things he’s accused of now.
I just finished this one a few days ago and loved it! Glad to see you did, too!
Kelley Armstrong certainly is a versatile author with all the many different books she’s produced. And, generally, I like her writing a lot.
Ooooo this sounds like a good thriller.
