About this listen

A murder at an elite New England college tears apart a group of friends - and one of them is playing a dangerous game - in this electrifying debut in the tradition of In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Couple Next Door.

In her first weeks at Hawthorne College, Malin is swept up into a tight-knit circle that will stick together through all four years. There's Gemma, an insecure theater major from London; John, a tall, handsome, and wealthy New Englander; Max, John's cousin and a shy pre-med major; Khaled, a wise-cracking prince from Abu Dhabi; and Ruby, a beautiful art history major. But Malin isn't quite like the rest of her friends. She's an expert at hiding her troubling past. She acts as if she is concerned with the preoccupations of those around her - boys, partying - all while using her extraordinary insight to detect their deepest vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

By Senior Day, on the cusp of graduation, Malin's secrets--and those of her friends - are revealed. While she scrambles to maintain her artfully curated image, her missteps set in motion a devastating chain of events that ends in a murder. And as their fragile relationships hang in the balance and close alliances start shifting, Malin will test the limits of what she's capable of to stop the truth from coming out.

In a mesmerizing novel that peels back the innumerable layers of a seductive protagonist, debut author Cambria Brockman brings to life an entrancing setting through a story of friendship, heartbreak, and betrayal.

Critic reviews

Cambria Brockman’s dark and twisty Tell Me Everything is an impressive debut, a complicated and compelling novel of psychological suspense that deftly explores the questions of how well we know our friends and of whom we can trust.
At once a complex thriller and antihero origin story, Cambria Brockman’s riveting debut is a true page-turner.
A compulsive page-turner with shades of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History peopled by a new generation.
reminiscent of many novels that have come before...Donna Tartt’s The Secret History - but the development of Malin as a narrator is truly inspired. A truly chilling thriller with a twist so quiet, you never hear it coming.
Brockman's first novel will appeal to readers looking for another Gone Girl
Brockman perfectly captures the insecurities that plague young adults, as well as the intense relationships that form in the crucible that is college. Fans of Patricia Highsmith and Donna Tartt should take notice.
Clear your schedule—from its stunner of a first chapter, Tell Me Everything will have you reading all night until you reach its terrifying-but-perfect conclusion. The vivid characters, tangled by the bonds of college friendship and mad love, will remind you of the work of Donna Tartt and the master of Maine stories, Stephen King.
An edgy exploration of loyalty and human desire. Readers in search of a true page-turner will savor this electrifying novel.
One word: J-U-I-C-Y.

Whilst not a classic like Secret History this book delivers a similar theme a close knit group of American college students whose lives become meshed to the point that a series of catastrophic events result out of the relationships. This is a very accomplished book with good characters and storyline told over two different periods of time the past and present. These is an almighty twist at the end which I did not see coming and really made this book stand out from other thrillers.

Great book in the Secret History genre
