Happy Tuesday book friends!
Delighted to share my review for another #BookBestieApproved book. LIES, kept all of us riveted to those pages, we couldn’t wait to see what in the world was behind all those lies!
Lies by T. M. Logan
My Thoughts
Engrossing! Engaging! Frightening!
Lies lies lies yeah (they’re gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah (they won’t forget you)
Lies lies lies yeah (they’re gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah
Oh you know I know
This song went through my mind every time I picked up this book, so I thought I’d share with you all! And you’re welcome if this song runs through your head the rest of the day…
This book pulled me in right from the start and did not let go until that unpredictable ending! One small inconsequential decision can alter the course of a life irreparably… if you go to Red Lobster instead of Red Robin perhaps you Will meet the man of your dreams… if you had made a left instead of a right perhaps you would not have got in that car accident… or in the case of this book perhaps if Joe hadn’t followed his wife’s car when he saw it, he wouldn’t have ended up in the middle of a murder investigation….
Joe has the perfect life I loving wife, and an adorable little boy, but as an all good psychological thrillers things aren’t always as they seem…. One day on the way home from picking up his son William from school they see his wife’s car turning left ahead of them… prompted by his son who is eager to share his recently acquired award with his mom, Joe chooses to follow his wife…. and his life will never be the same again!
This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had me quickly turn in those pages, I just had to know what in the world was going on! And the ending? Did not see that coming… all my speculating never took me in the direction that this book ultimately went in… but the scariest thing in this book was the part that technology and social media played…. how hard it is to dispute something that has been posted on social media… or your location when a cell tower pinged when a message…. was sent from your phone…. in this book technology and social media both helped and hurt Joe, and I’m not sure what the ultimate pay off was… but it did truly make you think about social media and how much that has altered today society and our perceptions….
Absolutely recommend two fans of good suspenseful edge of your seat psychological thrillers!
*** many thanks to Saint martins press for my copy of this book ***
About the Book
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.
