APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When an extended family from Sydney’s northern suburbs takes to the road on Christmas Eve, a car accident leaves them forever changed. They were already headed for catastrophe, thanks to betrayals—both minor and major—spanning generations. As the shocking revelations gradually pile up, Nicola Moriarty’s pageturning family drama edges closer to a domestic thriller without losing its intimate focus on individual characters. Even in its most twisty and suspenseful moments, You Need to Know is firmly told through the lens of family obligation, with matriarch Jill confiding her own secrets in letters to her late husband. Smoothly switching focus between characters, Moriarty exposes the nagging resentments hiding beneath the veneer of everyday life. And in the three brothers who are all writers, she even gives a sly nod to her own pair of author sisters, Liane and Jaclyn.
