If you enjoy being inside the head of an unlikable character, you’re going to love Dr. Caroline Strange.

“Doctor Caroline�� is a Brooklyn-based psychiatrist, and she prides herself on excelling in her career; she is efficient, intelligent, and knows how to portray empathy for her clients, even if she doesn’t particularly feel it. But then two things happen that rock the solid foundation she’s built. First, a new patient shows up on her doorstep, claiming that he wants to kill someone and that he knows who Dr. Caroline really is. And while Dr. Caroline is dealing with these revelations, a woman �� a Brooklyn journalist who wrote an article naming Dr. Caroline as one of the worst doctors in the borough �� goes missing…and Dr. Caroline is the prime suspect in her abduction.

Tell Me Who You Are is a great thriller �� gritty, full of twists, and psychologically complex. The narrative is split between three perspectives: Dr. Caroline’s, the abducted woman’s, and a family man who was recently fired from his job (be patient and have faith; his role in the plot will become clear). With compelling writing and shifting perspectives, Louisa Luna weaves a dark and tangled web of secrets and deceit throughout the plot that kept me guessing and engrossed. In an over-saturated genre, Tell Me Who You Are stands out as an example of just how good a psychological thriller can be with its unreliable and unlikable narrators, unpredictable twists, and sharp, dark humor. There are a few moments that require some suspension of disbelief, but I was having so much fun reading this one that I didn’t even care.

I highly recommend the audio version, read by Megan Tusing, Robb Moreira, and Stephanie Németh-Parker. They voiced their respective characters perfectly and had me hanging on their every word. Thank you to MCD x Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Macmillan Audio for the complimentary reading opportunity.
