"Take wit of "Gone Girl", the horror of "Helter Skelter", the twists of "In Cold Blood", and the wisdom of Joan Didion's "The White Album", and you feel the thrill of reading "The Devil You Know". Elisabeth de Mariaffi has written a brilliant and thoughtful thriller that is tense, funny, scary, smart, and true. Her clear-eyed insight into the kind of fear that women carry through life resonated deeply with me."--Claire Cameron, author of The Bear
