About this listen

After his wife and two children are killed in a car crash, Ryan Tapia starts a new life in Maine. But his first case there is a puzzling oddball—the corpse of a fisherman washes up on federal land, while the man's boat drifts into waters that are part of an Indian reservation. Ryan quickly learns the nuances of Maine life as he delves into two illicit coastal trades: hard drugs and rare fish. Many of the locals are happy to see that particular fisherman dead. What's more, they are not shy about noting that Ryan must have screwed up pretty badly to be posted to such a remote location as Bangor, Maine.

Undaunted, Ryan works to understand the unforgiving way of life on Liberty Island, where people live by an older, harsher code. Adrift on a sailboat one day, he encounters a man from the Malpense tribe, living as a hermit on a remote island, who witnessed something that fateful day.

In his riveting crime debut, New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks turns his literary talents to land he knows deeply, from working in the Maine woods and trapping lobsters year-round. Everyone Knows But You is a rich and dynamic crime novel that brings a unique part of America to vivid, thrilling life.

Understated and very worth the time

Well written, beautifully crafted. Not a "fun" nor "funny" book... a piece of "real" life. This was my story for a Sunday afternoon when all alone. I found it completely worth the 6 hours of time plus those quiet moments in memory. (And I'd like to find someone with whom to discuss it.) YMMV, but the understated narration was absolutely perfect once I got over my thinking it "should be" different.

So so

I bought this audiobook based on great reviews. I thought it was a very mediocre murder mystery story. The narration was flat and kind of annoying. In the end it was a pleasant listen but unimpressive

Masterfully Written

I am a huge fan of this author’s non-fiction, and know him to be a gifted writer. I was excited to read this new work of fiction, and in particular with the inclusion of Maine as a “character” in the story. The detail, and visuals he paints are transporting. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more fiction from him - hopefully soon! Finally, the narration was terrific too!

Story & characters & setting drew me in

I really liked the story - it drew me in. I hope there will be sequels. Characters are interesting; good backstories. Setting is wonderful. It took me about an hour to adjust to narrator; kind of gritty voice put me on edge at first. After I adjusted I can honestly say I hope he will read any sequels as well. Recommend!

Sense Of Place

This story kept me entertained and interested because the main character was healing as he worked. The research into Maine was A+.

Wantvto know a Mainer?

A cultural ride with Maine trap fishermen as much of a part of the story as the murder mystery.
