A review by novelesque_life
You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood

3.0

Rating: 2.5 STARS

Straight off, I will warn readers that this novel is in a "conversational" format. The main character in this novel is giving the closing argument in his own case. The unnamed defendant spends the entire book laying out the main evidence against him, and then refuting it by his giving the whole story. At first I was drawn in by the story but halfway I started to care less and never got to really know the main character. However, I was invested enough to want to know how it ends. Unfortunately, the ending ruined the good parts of the novel for me. I gave it 2.5 stars as I think Mahmood has promise as a writer, the first half was realistic and it did get me to finish the novel. I am looking forward to his next novel.
