Where the Truth Lies by Anna Bailey
3.0

Whistling Ridge is a small town with large secrets, including bigotry, homophobia, and an undying connection to God and their church. The character descriptions were done so well, as was the setting of the town, that it was not a struggle to picture in my mind. However, the dueling time lines of Then and Now, as well as dueling points of view from a few characters had me slightly confused and almost wanting to take notes of where I was in the story and who I was reading about.

Overall a very good debut that I would recommend reading in as few sittings as possible to keep it all sorted. I am glad I stuck with it and did not dnf it as the ending did wrap up how I wanted it to.

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Publishing for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.
