MY REVIEW

Anna’s parents both committed suicide two years earlier. As the anniversaries of the deaths approach, Anna is missing them even more than usual now that she has a baby. When she receives a note that suggests her parents deaths may not have been suicides, she starts to question the past and the investigation into her parent’s deaths.

Let Me Lie uses multiple points of view – Anna, Murray, and an unnamed narrator. Anna is a woman in her twenties. She has lost both of her parents to suicide, and has trouble reconciling their deaths with the parents she remembers. Murray is the detective who worked the cases of her parents deaths. The unnamed narrator is a little different, and one that adds a lot to the story.

Let Me Lie starts as a slow burning suspense, but has an exciting, twisty ending. The alternating chapters work for this book. Each narrator has something different to offer to the story, but it takes all viewpoints to pull the story together. Topics covered in this book include relationships, motherhood, and domestic abuse.

Let Me Lie is a twisty psychological thriller. Clever, dramatic, and suspenseful. Good for fans of domestic thrillers.
