À propos de cet audio

2021 Audie Award Nominee for Best Nonfiction Audiobook

A #1 Wall Street Journal, Amazon Charts, USA Today, and Washington Post bestseller.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen’s shocking and empowering true-crime story of three sisters determined to survive their mother’s house of horrors.

After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now.

For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother’s dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders.

Harrowing and heartrending, If You Tell is a survivor’s story of absolute evil - and the freedom and justice that Nikki, Sami, and Tori risked their lives to fight for. Sisters forever, victims no more, they found a light in the darkness that made them the resilient women they are today - loving, loved, and moving on.

Oh man, when I tell you I struggled to get through this it was not an understatement, however, at the same time I couldn't stop listening.

The story is horribly jarring and I found myself growing increasingly infuriated with the mother of the family.

I don't think I have ever felt so much anger and resentment toward someone I had never met. This in itself is proof that this story is written and performed with great precision.

This book is great in a sense that it's a story of struggles and triumph, but it takes a certain kind of person to get through all the serious depictions of abuse.

I recommend it only if you have a strong stomach and heart.

This is a rough one for sure.

A disturbing story of mind boggling abuse. The book (if taken at face value) seems to tell a much more accurate story of the Knotek murders than has been depicted elsewhere. It is gripping and suspenseful even though you know the outcome before listening to the book.

Gripping and horrific

This story was very interesting, but almost unbelievable. During the excellent narration, it was difficult to accept that the atrocities endured could ever be invented, far less inflicted.

Unbelievable

although a bit slow in some places this is an overall good book. some repetitive sections could have been omitted in the back part of the book, but it wasn't bad. I was very happy with this book.

hard to hear....

I couldn't stop listening to this. it had me shaking with rage but I couldn't stop listening because I just needed to know there was justice for these young women. what a ride. a sick, disturbing ride.

really messed up

No offense to the author nor the woman who narrated the book but some things are best left unseen. I would not recommend reading this book if you suffer from any form of depression as it depicts a true form of inconceivable evil. Point delivered extremely well: Shelley Knotec should not be released as her form of sickness couldn't possibly be rehabilitated.

Dreadfully Horrific

This had me on the edge of my seat. Unbelievable how one human can be so manipulative and controlling for so long.

Gripping

Extremely well placed and performed, I was instantly engrossed in the story. Olsen gives just enough of a hint of what will occur to hook you at the start and Peakes' performance keeps your attention throughout.

The book has about the right amount of detail and length for you to understand just how terrible the situation and lives of the sisters were. This is a strong recommend for any fan of true crime.

A nightmarish true crime retelling

This book was difficult to get through as it was so intense with the abuse that this family encountered. It is a must read if you enjoy these types of books.

Great book but difficult story to hear

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.

A train wreck that you can't look away from, narrated by a very talented actress. Haunting, and makes me question the everyday people around me.

Compelling story telling and narration
