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.
