Liane Moriarty's Truly Madly Guilty is a gripping domestic suspense novel that effectively uses multiple perspectives and a non-linear timeline to build tension. The story centers on a single, pivotal event and its fallout, with Moriarty thoughtfully exploring themes of guilt and perception through the eyes of several characters.
While the central mystery's resolution may be predictable, the journey to get there is what truly entertains. The narrative’s strength lies in its interesting characters and their backstories, which kept the plot engaging and the emotional turmoil of the protagonists both authentic and compelling. This book is a testament to Moriarty's skill at blending a captivating mystery with a deeper look into the complexities of human relationships.
