NEED TO KNOW 🎭. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS STORY ON THE BIG SCREEN. BRAVO. 🦋

Need to know. LOVED IT!!! Sometimes it was hard to put down. Hard to believe it was the first book Karen wrote. Sounds like there will be another book to follow this one. If you ever have a book signing in Houston, Tx., please announce it the dates, it will be worth it! Charlotte

great read. the end still has me wondering, great job!

Page turner. Would make an excellent movie. Twists to the end.

Not bad, for a first novel. Cleveland’s Need to Know is a page-turner. She knows how to tell a story that keeps the reader going, and that builds in appropriate surprises—nothing obvious here. Still, her main character, Vivian, is just too naive for a real CIA counterintelligence analyst working the Russia desk. That said, the novel rings true in many other ways, and the point of view is rare in spy fiction. We don’t see enough genuinely female protagonists. Vivian is definitely NOT some male author’s idea of a female spy. And that is definitely Cleveland’s achievement in the genre. I look forward to a sequel.

NEED TO KNOW. This is a story that grabs you almost immediately. From that point on, it’s a roller coaster of heart-stopping, hold-your-breath emotion, danger and what happens next. Viv is a CIA analyst on the Russia desk. How far would you go to protect your family? You won’t see it coming, believe me. A great read.

Mark. I’m not paying $13.00 good or not. That’s what top authors get and this is her first book.

Wow!. Really interesting book and held my attention all the way through. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out..... guess again! Looking forward to the next book.

Don’t need to know. Boring and predictable. Woman is a totally overrated

Roller coaster ride. A GREAT roller coaster ride..it had the flow of a movie.

Mesmerizing read. What a great book by this first time author. I couldn’t put it down. Throughly entertaining.

Need to Know. I liked it

Need to Know. I bought and read this book, because John Grisham recommended it, but his last book was awful. This book was weak on story and plot, and the characters were NOT like able at all.

Need to Know needs more. Premise seemed interesting, but characters and how they handled various situations came off as naive and uninformed. Disappointed.

Awesome read!. Great book! I did not anticipate some of the twists and turns!

Strongly recommend. This is enjoyable. A thoughtful and unique story that makes you think. Isn’t that what fiction is all about - a break from reality to hear a story? Give it a try! It’s worth it.

Need to know by Karen Cleveland. One of the best spy novels ever. Looking forward to the next novel.

Need to Know. Awesome new mystery. Keeps you guessing thru each chapter with characters very real. The ending shattered me but also has me hoping for more from a Karen Cleveland. Very good debut book!

Meh.... What could/should have been an interesting puzzle never materialized. Too facile, shallow and predictable. I just didn't enjoy it very much. Hate that I spent $14 for this but perhaps this author can give us another story with more fully developed characters and a less obvious ending.

You don't need to read. An implausible tale which somehow still manages to keep your attention. The writing isn't very good, and the plot is a complete stretch, but it is a moderately entertaining read. All in all, though, I wouldn't spend the money on this one.

Need to know. A good read. Always moving...no dead spots. Good plot. Hope the ending means there will be a sequel!

Need To Know. Really enjoyed this book! It was hard for me to put down.... still pondering the ending. Would be great for a book club discussion. Hope to see it on the big screen.

Transparent and lightweight. Very little rings true in this spy story. From the inept case worker to the undercover spy dad. Hard to believe the entire CIA and FBI are completely blind to their own inner workings.

Pretty good twist at the end. Omg that girls an idiot 😭

Need to Know. Great quick read.

Third rate highly predictable, obv. paid endorsements. Need I say more, very disappointed at what I thought were credible endorsements from reputable authors.
