The Woman Who Lied by Claire Douglas
3.75
In THE WOMAN WHO LIED, Claire Douglas weaves a suspenseful thriller about an author who is seeing her books come to life around her. Even more distressing is that when things occur in her not-yet-published final book in a series, she knows that one of her early readers - all who are very close to her - is the culprit.
If you're not already paranoid, a plot like this will have you (or the main character Emilia) climbing the walls. Could it be Emilia's ex-husband Jonas, now husband Elliot, new friend Louise, old friend Ottilie, Elliot's father Trevor, her editor, her agent, or someone else that one of these people in her inner circle passed off the manuscript to?
Aside from the main plot, there are two other narrative threads throughout the novel - one from Daisy and one other.
Like many in its genre, there were a lot of twists. I also noticed that Chapter 5 had an influx of characters introduced, especially parents of other characters.
I did enjoy this one for being a fun, twisty romp that held my interest, but it probably won't land in my favorites of the year.
