An Honest Lie
by Tarryn Fisher
An Honest Lie | Tarryn Fisher
Genre: Thriller, mystery, suspense
An Honest Lie is the latest standalone psychological thriller by bestselling author, Tarryn Fisher.
An Honest Lie follows Rainey who is running from a past she would prefer to forget. She reluctantly agrees to a girl’s weekend with some friends where the unthinkable happens. Someone kidnaps her friend Braithe but it’s really Rainey they want. As she rushes to save her friend, she will have to confront what she has tried to desperately to escape from.
The book follows dual timelines, past and present. I’ll confess I much preferred the past timeline than the present which for most of the book was pretty uneventful. The real power of this book is in the merging of the past and present and seeing how events of the past shaped her in the here and now. Rainey is a strong, resilient and powerful character which many women would be able to relate to.
I loved Tarryn’s choice of names, Rainey, Summer, Taured, Braithe. While I’m not as much of a fan of Tarryn’s most recent novels, this one offered something reminiscent of Karin Slaughter and the chilling horror of small towns and mother/daughter relationships.
If you liked this one, check out Tarryn’s earlier thrillers; The Wrong Family and The Wives.
