• Title Seven Lies
• Author Elizabeth Kay
• Year 2020
• Genre Thriller

It all started with one little lie... Jane and Marnie have been inseparable since they were eleven years old. They have a lot in common. In their early twenties they both fell in love and married handsome young men. But Jane never liked Marnie's husband. He was always so loud and obnoxious, so much larger than life. Which is rather ironic now, of course. Because if Jane had been honest - if she hadn't lied - then perhaps her best friend's husband might still be alive... This is Jane's opportunity to tell the truth. The question is: Do you believe her?

Thoughts

This absolutely grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go until I knew what was going to happen. It was so well written, the mystery unfolding gradually, and I love the concept of the seven lies, each one building in scope and deception until the inevitable house of cards tumbling down. Well paced and very readable, I think I was just a little disappointed at the very last scene, it didn’t feel like a conclusion, even in the open-ended sort of way. But small complaint for a good read.
