Tell Me the Truth by Kiersten Modglin

5.0

I don't want to give anything away, but I can say that this was a fast-paced domestic suspense that I kept eagerly coming back to. I found the characters believable and the situation all too familiar: a wife who is certain her husband is cheating, while he has a sensible explanation for just about everything.

Is Edith crazy? She's definitely lacking in common sense and needs a boost of self esteem. Has she let Joe's previous transgression taint her view of him and his trustworthiness? Or is Joe really a perpetual cheater? Edith's creative searches for the truth will likely destroy her marriage, whether Joe is lying or isn't, and it's a wild ride to find out who is really hiding what.

Five stars because I found it so compelling and easy to read, but I get how some people might rate it lower because the gaslighting husband thriller is not original and has kind of been overdone in recent years.
