Review:Lies by T.M. Logan



“Assured, compelling, and hypnotically readable—with a twist at the end I guarantee you won’t see coming” (New York Times bestselling author Lee Child), T. M. Logan’s debut psychological thriller dissects a troubled marriage straight to the marrow as one man separates the truth from the Lies


Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious.

Now, Joe’s life is unraveling. His wife has lied to him. Her deception has put their entire family in jeopardy. The man she met at the hotel has vanished. And as the police investigate his disappearance, suspicion falls on Joe.

Unable to trust the woman he loves, Joe finds himself at the mercy of her revelations and deceits, unsure of who or what to believe. All he knows is that her actions have brought someone dangerous into their lives—someone obsessed with her and determined to tear Joe’s world apart.

What I thought about Lies

Since this is a psychological thriller and a lot of it's value is in the twists and turns, I'm not going to rehash the plot.  The blurb was what drew me into this book.
 
Joe Lynch experiences a tragic event and finds out he doesn't have the perfect life he thought he had. His wife has lied to him and put his family at risk.  What follows is a tense and sometimes twisty journey of Joe trying to put his life back together -- anyway he can. 
 
I did appreciate the use of modern technology in this tale and aside from a bit mushy middle, I thought the story moved along nicely and even though some of the details I was able to figure out, there were a few surprises along the way, and that's a good thing. 

So, if you are looking for a psychological thriller that might keep you guessing, Lies might be for you.
