The Good Liar
People's lives can be complicated and complex and sometimes that includes lies that we weave which end up spiraling out of control. Three women are unexpectedly forced to face these lies of their own making when an explosion completely destroys an office building killing hundreds of people. The various lies begin to unravel on the anniversary of the tragedy when a memorial and a documentary bring unpleasant truths to light. There are literally so many twists and turns in this story. At times I had to put the book down in order to process and think about what I had just learned. The only trouble I had is that I could not really connect with any of the three women. Then again, that may be one of the points of the book itself. Everyone has a dark side or an inner self that is less than completely truthful and definitely not one that we show to others. I received a copy from Lake Union Publishing through Netgalley for free in exchange for my honest review.
