Book Description:
WHAT IF YOUR WHOLE LIFE WAS BASED ON LIES?
When Joe Lynch stumbles across his wife driving into a hotel car park while she’s supposed to be at work, he’s intrigued enough to follow her in.And when he witnesses her in an angry altercation with family friend Ben, he knows he ought to intervene.
But just as the confrontation between the two men turns violent, and Ben is knocked unconscious, Joe’s young son has an asthma attack – and Joe must flee in order to help him.
When he returns, desperate to make sure Ben is OK, Joe is horrified to find that Ben has disappeared.
And that’s when Joe receives the first message . . .
Love psychological thrillers and this one was part whodunit, part thriller. I have to admit it didn’t take me long to read it, since I would read past midnight, not wanting to miss the next chapter.
This book started out with a dad named Joe and his son in their car. While driving, the son sees his mother’s car and mentions it to Joe. They decide to follow her, and before they know it, they’re at a hotel, witnessing a family friend and Mommy have an argument. Joe decides to approach his friend Ben while he’s walking to his car in the parking lot and the two have a conversation, but Joe ends up with more questions than answers. Ben also ends up on the ground of the parking lot after their altercation and things just seem to spin out of control afterward.
Any book that has me asking questions throughout, especially about personalities, behaviors and motives, draws me in. This book did exactly that! Well written, fast-paced and with events that keep you asking questions during the investigation, this book does not disappoint on the “what’s going on” scale. And the ending twist was a nice finish, considering everybody seems to be capable of wanting something bad to happen to Ben.
One thing I have to give credit to the author for, is the realistic reactions of Joe. Normally dialogue between married couples and other people sometimes never sound realistic, but as tension began to build, there were realistic questions asked, rational reactions and it made for a believable storyline, so well done on that!
In order to know exactly what happens, you’ll have to read for yourself. What if everything you’ve ever believed WAS a lie? #lies #netgalley
