Book Synopsis:
It would be unfair to blame the woman I met tonight for turning my life upside down. She didn’t.
It was already upside down. I just didn’t know it.
Recently life has been good for Mallory Hansen: a great job, a lovely home, and a wonderful man, Nathan, to share it with.
But now she must ask herself: is it all built on lies?
A shocking accusation has been made against Nathan, and Mallory doesn’t know who to believe. He denies everything, but all the signs point to his guilt. She has learned to trust Nathan, but she also remembers the boy he used to be.
As teenagers, Mallory and Nathan were part of a close-knit group of six friends until a vicious argument drove them apart. Now, fifteen years later, they are back in touch – only to find themselves drawn into a web of mutual distrust, one by one…
The attacks on their lives are skilfully targeted, designed to hit them where they hurt the most, and when a young woman disappears and a baby is abducted, DCI Tom Douglas must try to unravel the past and discover who is the architect of their misery.
My Review:
No More Lies is another, amazing gripping read from one of my favourite authors. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
Firstly it was lovely to see Tom back with the team again. I hadn’t realised how much I’d missed him until reading this one as he was always one of my favourites characters from previous books. It was great to follow him and his team through the investigation and to witness their banter again.
I always love books involving old friends as it’s very intriguing to find out about any secrets or past hurts that they might have lurking in their past. The story flashes back to the fatal night so that the reader can gradually piece together what happened and get an inkling about how it relates to events in the present day. I enjoyed seeing the various threads of the story come together and trying to guess what was going on.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this fabulous series in the future. I felt drawn into the story from the start with the fast paced story quickly becoming very difficult to put down. The many twist kept me guessing as just when I thought I’d figured everything out something would happen to send the story off in a completely difficult direction. The ending was brilliant, though rather heart stopping in places, and I loved the gradual reveal which took me by surprise which I always love!
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publisher for my copy of this book.
