A review by chelsmarieantoinette
Where the Truth Lies by Anna Bailey

3.0

You know when you’re reading a mystery and the mystery is just “too vague” it ends up brings frustrating? That’s definitely how the first 1/3 of Where The Truth Lies reads. We get it: it’s a mystery... now reveal SOMETHING.
Then once the reveals started it was like BOOM BOOM BOOM, wild bombshells.
I liked the scenery of Whistling Ridge and despised most of its residents. The town had a lot of issues going on -racism, homophobia, classism- which became consistent themes throughout the book. The twists were interesting but pretty disturbing. This book is not for the innocent.
I’d recommend it (with warning) to fans of mysteries/suspense, family dramas, and small town drama.
