Your Beautiful Lies by Louise Douglas
5.0
I have recently found Louise Douglas and I have devoured three of her books. I love her writing, characters, settings, and so much more.
Annie is married to the chief of police and lives the picture perfect life....as an outsider looking in. All is far from perfect. Annie manages their home and their young daughter while looking after William's ailing mother. Taking place in more recent times, but feeling much like the 1950's for me, this little mining community seems to be left in the past, sheltered from all the comfort of present time. A young woman is found murdered in the moors and the town police are scrambling to find the killer. Meanwhile the local miners are set to strike and chaos is found everywhere. No place is safe to be. But just as Annie's day to day couldn't get any more mundane, here comes Tom fresh from the prison where he served time for murdering a local grandmother. In her heart, she always knew he didn't kill that woman. How could someone she loved be a cold-blooded murderer? As Annie and Tom rekindle a love from their past, the town continues to fall apart. Annie knows her husband suspects something. She knows she is being followed. Hoe can she make this right?
Your Beautiful Lies by Louise Douglas just hits all the feels. So many passages I had to read over and over again; she just nails it! I truly felt for Annie's inner turmoil. I will be recommending Your Beautiful Lies by Louise Douglas to all my book loving friends and will be looking for other works by Louise Douglas. She is quickly becoming one of my favorites! Special thanks to NetGalley, Louise Douglas, and Boldwood Books for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 5 stars for me!
