PROFESSIONAL REVIEW:William Holms' excellent mystery novel The Intruder You Know is full of unexpected turns that will leave you wondering what will happen next. Her story is deeply romantic and filled with strong feelings. Her character is endowed with a wonderful disposition and a resilient spirit that perseveres through her challenges. Her narrative combines justice, freedom, trust, and love. I was captivated by it because of how realistic it seemed and how much love and care the people had for what they did. The way that Paige fights for her freedom, despite the fact that she is torn apart inside, is really unique. I adore each and every character for their profound influence on Paige, changing her in both positive and negative ways. Her character seems really mysterious, with deep emotions and secrets that no soul has ever known. My interest and growing love for crime, thrillers, and fiction works caused me to read this amazing book in just two days. I genuinely adored it. I would give it a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I definitely recommend this book to those who love a read of crime that holds mysteries and a story that offers love and romance. Online Book Club Review (Nov. 15, 2023)
