Family of Lies

Reading this book is probably ONE experience...LISTENING took it to a whole different level! The audio took me right in...and it was not one narrator, but three, which made it more personalized. I just could not stop listening! Listening while working, listening while traveling to and from work, in the bed, in the shower...you name it. I just could not stop.

Ms. Monroe is a fantastic author and I look forward to listening to more of her novels.

Rated this another 5 STAR book, recommend to everyone. Mary Monroe writes in a way that can be visualized as you read. Just can not put her books Down. I HAVE READ THEM ALL......and waiting for the next.

I was literally appalled at the profanity in this book. The storyline could have been so much better - there were so many ways this could have been played out without all of the cussing and use of the F word. The sexual parts of the book or rather the references to the sexual parts of our bodies could have been left out or not been so explicit. This is not a book I would recommend to anyone - much less a young teenager. This was my first Mary Monroe book and I can't really see me trying another based on this one. I was so hopeful that I had found a new author - That is not the case.

The rating I chose is because the author writes realistic books on things that are in real life occurrences. The book is a page turner. Everyone who reads this book, will enjoy it just like me. Well done Mary Monroe.

I initially read a sample of this book before purchasing. The first chapter was drama filled and captivating, I knew I needed to have it! Then I began to read and I immediately became disgusted and downright ill from what is contained in the pages of this book! It's a completely outrageous story with horrific obvious plot lines! The characters of this story are desperate, miserable, unintelligent, and just foolish! I'm sad to say I actually wasted my time to finish it! Put this back!!

The character development could have been better. The story would have been more interesting if there had been more information for Sarah's motivations and actions was included. However, Ms. Monroe's understanding of secrets that so many of us keep and the repercussions of those secrets in families shines through.
