Now in paperback, a gripping novel of suspicion, mystery, and regret surrounding the murder of a teenage girl, from the author of Lacy Eye. On a December day in upstate New York, the body of high school senior Joy Enright is discovered in the woods at the edge of a frozen pond. Since her disappearance weeks earlier Joy had been presumed drowned, but now an autopsy reveals that her death was not simply a tragic accident--the teenager's body shows unmistakable signs of strangulation. The gruesome discovery upends an otherwise uneventful small town, as police grapple with a rare homicide case and those closest to Joy wonder how she could have been so easily taken from them--and by whom. As the murder investigation unfolds, four characters tell the story from widely divergent perspectives: Susanne, Joy's mother and a teacher at the local art college, tries to reconcile past betrayals with their wrenching consequences; Martin, an African-American artist and graduate student, faces ostracism when blame is cast on him; Tom, a rescue diver and son-in-law of the town's police chief, doubts both the police's methods and his own perceptions; and the hopelessly awkward Harper, Joy's best friend, tries to figure out why Joy disappeared from Harper's life months before she actually went missing. As a web of deceit comes to light in a tiny community where everyone knows someone else's secret, HOW WILL I KNOW YOU? explores the ways in which families both thrive and falter, how easily boundaries can be breached, and how seemingly small bad choices can escalate--with fatal consequences.
