What if you have the perfect life, the perfect wife and the perfect child—then, in one shattering moment, you discover nothing is as it seems? Now you are in the sights of a ruthless killer determined to destroy everything you treasure.
It’s the evening drive home from work on a route Joe Lynch has taken a hundred times with his young son. But today, Joe sees his wife meet another man—an encounter that will rip two families apart. Raising the question: Can we ever really trust those closest to us?
Joe will do whatever it takes to protect his family, but as the deception unravels, so does his life. A life played out without any rules. And a cunning opponent who’s always one step ahead.
In the tradition of The Girl Before by J. P. Delaney and Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris, T. M. Logan’s Lies is an unputdownable thriller that will keep readers guessing until the jaw-dropping finale.
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First line—"My son's first word wasn't Daddy or Mummy. His first word was Audi. Which was strange because I'd never owned an Audi, and on my salary probably never would."
This book was intense and confusing, but confusing in a good way—in the way that made me want to keep turning the pages because I needed to find out who was lying and what was the truth. I knew the story was going to be full of lies, well because, that's the name of the book, right? Lies. So, from the very start, I found myself questioning everything and everyone. Is this a lie? Is he lying? Is she lying? I didn't know what to believe.
On and on throughout the story, as people get pulled one way or another and events get twisted around and around, I got dizzy with the possibilities. And those scenarios in my head did not lead me to the ending that the author wrote on the pages. My mind didn't even go there. I love when that happens!
I received an ARC of Lies from St. Martin's Press via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Congratulations Tim
