The good lie

SYNOPSIS

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide.

Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning?

Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development…

Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name.

As Gwen and Robert grow closer and she dives deeper into the investigation, grave questions arise. So does Gwen’s suspicion that Robert is hiding something—and that he might not be the only one with a secret.

REVIEW

★★★★.5

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Ok, WOWOWOWOWO. I loved this. 

This was such an easy and fast read. I made a bit of a mistake when I paused it because I was doing a few readathons at the time, that's why the dates are so apart. It made me loose a bit the interest but once I picked it back up I couldn't stop reading. 

It was such a twisty little plot, with so many character interwined. 

There was perhaps a part in the middle that I enjoyed a bit less but other than that its fantastic.

The characters were sooo interesting, I felt like I know who they were but I had no idea what they were capable of doing and that's the magic of the book, not expecting the unexpected.

It surely had a few plot twists that I was not expecting at all and it kept my mouth open. From the 80 percent mark on, it comes one thing after the other and I- it was just do damn good.

I really down want to say much but I will tell you that everything is important and pay attention to details. Oh and also, no, its not who you think the murder is. 

I truly recommend it, but please check the TW before, there are a definitely a few of them

Let me know if you read it!
