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.
