My Review:
Lies Between Us is a well plotted, tense story that is hard to believe is a debut novel.
The story is told from three separate points of view which helps to add to the tension and intrigue in the story. All the characters are connected in some way but how they are connected isn’t revealed until the end after some clever twists.
I initially felt sympathy towards all of the characters in the book, but as the story progresses and I learnt more about them my opinions changed. Its obvious from the start that Miller is an unusual child but I couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for him and his feelings that he wasn’t included in family life properly. I also felt sympathy towards John as his grief and sadness at losing his daughter almost radiated from the page which was heartbreaking to read about.
The tension in the book is gradually increased as the story progresses and the characters true selves are revealed. I found the book quite hard to put down at times as there was always something happening. Just when I thought I’d figured out what had happened and what the characters connection was, something would happen that sent the story in a completely different direction. I’m normally able to work out the ending of abook but this one took me by surprise which I thought was wonderfully done by the author.
As mentioned above this is the debut novel by Ronnie Turner and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. If you like character driven, tension filled psychological thrillers then you’ll love this book.
Huge thanks to HQ stories for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
