The Lies They Tell by Gillian French
3.0
Listened to the audiobook for this while working on another kitting project. It made for great company. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a mystery/thriller of sorts and I’m left still thinking about the ways the author set up the reveal for the killer. And a part of me that hoped by the end Pearl would receive a letter or correspondence of some sort that read “I’m still glad it was you...”
I think having read so many romances lately I was curious as to the why (regarding my own personal reaction). I guess I’m always holding out hope for people but then I think there is also the allure that most romances give with the danger of love interest. So that even as there were particularly troubling things shared there’d still been a level of sympathy for the character. Still I wonder if they are truly dead. I see an opportunity for another book if the author so chose to.
But I enjoyed the read. And would recommend it. There might have been some slow parts but I think the audio was only 5-6 hours.
