One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline
4.0
*Warning* Don't start reading this book if you're going to have to set it down to go and participate in life. I mean, you can, but you won't want to. Once you start reading this book you will be pulled into the lives of the characters and you'll be wondering "Just who is Chris Brennan?"
I received an email from Netgalley one day telling me I was invited to read this book. I had never heard of the author but the book blurb and the cover had me putting the book on my Kindle in a matter of seconds. Then other commitments came up and this book somehow got shoved down, down, down the tbr pile. I was finally able to read it over the weekend and I'm actually glad it got shoved down the pile because it's one of those books that once you're finished reading you're disappointed. Disappointed that you've read the book and that experience is over. Yeah I can always read it again but it won't be the same as reading it that first time when every detail is new and every twist and turn is unexpected.
I'm going to be absolutely honest though and admit that at the beginning I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish the book. There are a lot of characters introduced quickly and I had trouble keeping them all sorted out. But once I did I couldn't read the book fast enough and or stand to have to put the book down. The characters are complex and Chris Brennan is the perfect "bad guy" character for this story.
The storyline of the book is interesting and I was kept guessing as to what exactly was going on. The pace is excellent and the author has a way of telling a story that leaves you wanting more causing an extreme case of "one more chapter" syndrome. There were many jaw-dropping moments as the story unraveled and I love the fact that I wasn't able to guess anything before it was revealed.
One Perfect Lie is one perfect story. This was my first Lisa Scottoline book and it definitely won't be my last. I highly recommend this book!
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
