Let Me Lie: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Yes, the lie is used to hide some important information, but that information will not, by itself, cause any great pain. If honesty is paramount to your identity and you pride yourself on telling the truth, you may find it difficult to reconcile this with the lie that’s been told. With a smidgen of optimism, I finally decided on a 4 star rating for LET ME LIE. But, in all fairness of honest disclosure, at certain points in the book I felt the dreaded THREE STAR rating looming in the distance.

Assess The Situation And Context Let Me Lie is well written, though each of the characters’ life seems a bit dull, except Murray’s. I like following Murray’s point of view. He’s such a gentle soul and very thorough at investigating. I like his relationship with his wife, even though she’s going through tough times. I like the unexpected twists and turns, though I’m getting a bit irritated with many recent psychological thrillers that I read where the focus is on “you never know what goes on behind closed doors.” The working up to the end is excellent especially when police zoom in on solving the mystery while the lie is unraveling. I recommend everyone to read this book, especially for the thrill towards the end! The important thing is not the length of the reading but saying something that provides meaning and reflection to those listening.

Thank you to Edelweiss, the publisher and the author for an e-galley of the book in exchange for an honest review.
