Where the Truth Lies

WHERE THE TRUTH LIES
By: Anna Bailey
Initially, I had a hard time jumping into the story. The writing felt a bit bumpy and scattered. I wasn’t sure exactly what story was being told. Part of that had to do with one of the major themes in the book, which was religion.
This book was FULL of religion and religious context. The mystery in the story took a ride in the backseat for most of the book. It was a focus, but there were so many heavy themes going on that it at times felt like a literary fiction title. This is NOT a light read.
There were several times while reading that I felt like I was unattached from the characters, which given the material, is not good.
Overall, this was three stars for me. I do recommend this title to readers looking for depth in themes, specifically religion, abuse, family systems, and family curses. If you are looking for a heavy thriller that explores who you are in relation to who you worship, I recommend this title.
