Let Me Lie

Clare Mackintosh is a very clever suspense writer. Her books are filled with twists and turns until the very last page, sometimes the very last sentence. This one wasn’t quite as good as I Let You Go and I See You. It was a bit on the slow side to start, but once things started falling into place it quickly became a page turner. Told from multiple voices made it much more interesting and helped the story to flow well. A solid suspense that proves Mackintosh knows just how to captivate her audience.

Clare Mackintosh knows how to write a mystery that is riveting from page one to the very last sentence. A couple, Tom and Caroline Johnson commit suicide and leave their adult daughter behind to pick up the pieces. In the aftermath, she falls in love with her therapist and they have a baby. Through out all of this she misses her parents immensely wanting them to be there for the whole thing.

This is the most exciting book from beginning to end that I have read in awhile. I kept trying to guess the ending without success. I suspected every one of a particular crime except the guilty party.
My best advice is to carve out an hour or two when you get to page 400 so as to be able to read the last 100 or so pages uninterrupted as your heart will race with anticipation as the momentum picks up with unexpected twists & turns. Great read!!!

Another fantastic book by Clare Mackintosh! The story was filled with twists and turns as Anna looks into what really happened to her parents. The characters were interesting and well developed. Every time I thought I had figured out what happened to Caroline and Tom, another twist came along and smacked me upside the head.

Thanks to Penguin’s First to Read Program for a copy of this book.

Another enjoyable read from Clare Mackintosh. Loved the detective Murray Mackenzie and found him really interesting, hoping we will see him again in the future. I didn't warm to the other characters so much but the plot was compelling and I enjoyed the book. I didn't love it as much as I did 'I See You' but it is undoubtedly well written and the author clearly knows how to keep us guessing!

Although I own all three of Clare Mackintosh’s books, I decided to read Let Me Lie, her latest, first. The book grabbed me immediately and when I thought I knew where it was going, she threw a twist in. I was a bit bored with the Murray and Sarah side story, but I really enjoyed the book.

Another stunning journey from author, Clare Macintosh as she leads her characters through a maze of twists and turns. Couldn't put it down and read it the entire day. (The luxury of being retired.) Her three books should be made into movies or TV series. Love them all.

Extraordinary, yet plausible. New Mom, Anna receives an anonymous note on the anniversary of her mother’s suicide. “Suicide? Think again”. Her world begins to spiral. Several twists and turns kept me on my toes. An inventive read.

This book was highly recommended and rated but it just wasn't for me. I couldn't care about the main character and the ghost POV made no sense. The whole story came across as flat and did not engage me.
