The Lie by C.L. Taylor
4.0
I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a book about a woman called Jane, only her name isn't really Jane it is Emma. Five years ago Emma and three friends went on a holiday to Nepal. The holiday was a disaster and not everybody returned. Emma changes her name to Jane and starts a new life. Five years later when she is finally happy and settled, Jane receives a letter at work that makes it clear that they know who she really is.
This book alternates from the present to the past. We know right from the beginning that something terrible must have happened to her five years ago to make her want to change her name and start a new life. This is what really grips you and makes you want to continue reading the story. When you have read a few psychological thrillers, there are certain storylines within the book that are a bit cliche and most authors go down the same path. Each time I thought I knew what was going to happen C.L.Taylor surprised me. This is the second book of C.L.Taylor's that I have read and enjoyed and I will definitely be looking out for more titles by this author.
