Tour: LIES LIES LIES by Adele Parks





5 Stars

Before I commenced reading, I expected,  possibly,  "another domestic thriller." I was agreeably surprised to find instead of ho-hum: engrossing.  The alternating viewpoints of too very unreliable (and not always self-aware) narrators at cross-purposes; the tragedies; the coping and grief and grudge-holding; especially the way that the author balances the narrative viewpoints,  so that each rather "sees through a glass darkly," nor can ever approach actual Truth; all combine into a  fictional gumbo that is quite intriguing,  and indeed, thrilling.  I'm glad I chose to read LIES LIES LIES.
