In this literary memoir, Krouse recounts being a down-on-her-luck novelist who got into P.I. work as a result of her uncanny knack for getting strangers to open up. Her new gig leads her to investigate a gang rape at a local Colorado college involving members of the football team and recruits. The procedural that follows is both narratively straightforward and complex with introspection as Krouse comes to terms with her own abuse through her P.I. work and writing. With Tell Me Everything, Krouse figures out a whole new way to do what good writing does: She makes the personal universal and vice versa. –Rich Juzwiak
