With a strong passion for both reading and writing, she would come to hone and refine her skills as an author throughout the years. Everyone who knew Amanda is interviewed, and the cops suspect one person after another of being her killer. Shari Lapena has mastered the domestic suspense subgenre with her unnerving thrillers, and her latest, Someone We Know, is no exception. I think the person at the very end of the book has done something very, very bad and the missing item is a clue. He also had the opportunity to use his acting and directing skills that saw him become one of the most successful actors in the region.

I never base a character on any particular person, although I’m sure I take the occasional trait here and there from different people I see and incorporate them into my characters.
