Where the Truth Lies
by Anna Bailey
Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!
Where the Truth Lies was a mostly engrossing read. The author understands how to properly bread crumb people into not putting her book down, and I appreciate that quite a bit. The characters are well developed, which helps because there are many of them, and there’s not an instance where that becomes confusing (which is niiiiice because I think my brain is running at like 1/4 power lately!).
My biggest issue with this novel is that I didn’t feel much after reading it. You know that kind of pride/zeal type feeling you get after finishing a great book? That feeling just wasn’t there. There should also be trigger warnings for some concerning the content. There is abuse, dark sexual content, death, and many other topics that maybe aren’t for everyone.
So I guess we’re going to go for a middle-of-the-road three stars. I would recommend this book to those that enjoy a low-action kind of whodunnit with excellent character building.
