They all have something in common, though none of them know it – and the truth won’t stay hidden for long . . .
MY REVIEW
Multiple storylines (John, Maise, and Miller) come together in this psychological thriller. John’s six-year-old daughter has been abducted, and it appears the kidnapper has been watching John for a long time. Maise is a nurse taking care of a patient that may not make it. Miller is a sociopath with a disturbing past.
Multiple points of view and multiple timelines are used in Lies Between Us. I found the switching between POVs and timelines to be too confusing. It might just be me, but I tend to lose focus when books use a lot of switching between people and time to tell a story. In this book, that meant I had a hard time getting into the flow of the story and never connected with the characters.
That said, Lies Between Us is a dark and interesting thriller. The mystery part was good, and I wasn’t sure how things were going to end. Best read by people who enjoy a more complicated story that takes some focus.
Chilling, suspenseful, and convoluted.
I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Thoughtful and fair review, Darinda! I hope your next read is more straight forward in structure.
Thank you, Jennifer!
Great review, Darinda, as you lay out what was problematic for you. I’m finding quite a few authors are using this technique and it takes a real skill to pull it off.
Thank you, Jonetta! I agree, it definitely takes skill to pull off the multiple POV and multiple timelines format.
