About this deal

Anna's mother had followed her father by both ending their own lives months a part, but as the anniversary approaches Anna receives a card with the words 'Suicide? Think again.'

Alliteration: The repetition of similar sounds in neighboring words can be found in “ starry sky”, “ dig the”, “ let me lie”, “ Here he”, and “ hunter home”. Thank you so much to the publisher, Berkley Publishing Group, for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.Now with a young baby of her own, Anna misses her mother more than ever and starts to ask questions about her parents' deaths. But by digging up the past, is she putting her future in danger? Sometimes it's safer to let things lie . . . There aren’t many authors who can reinvent themselves successfully in every new novel, but Clare has done it once again in LET ME LIE. Where her previous books ( I SEE YOU in particular) were perhaps more instantly-accessible to readers of psychological thrillers, LET ME LIE will work perfectly for the reader who prefers lighter suspense with a welcome dose of interpersonal relationship tension and secrets. The core of this book is all about family, exploring how far we’ll go to keep those we love safe. Readers meet Anna Johnson, a young woman who is reeling from a triple-whammy of life changes—some tragic and some wonderful. In the past couple of years, both of Anna’s parents have committed suicide in a tragic sequence of events. To make things even more complicated and overwhelming, Anna has herself just become a mother to a baby girl. Weighed down by grief over her parents and adjusting to the enormity of motherhood, Anna is adrift…and perhaps just a bit disconnected from reality. Anna has long been suspicious about the circumstances surrounding her parents’ death - she refuses to believe they would willingly leave her - but when a bizarre happening gives her reason to doubt the suicide verdict in earnest, her world becomes even murkier. Anna is starting over. She has a new boyfriend and a new baby. New beginnings...unfortunately, the past won’t stay in the past!

Anna Johnson has suffered a terrible loss in the form of her parent’s suicide. First her father, then seven months later her mother meets the same fate in the exact manner as her father’s suicide. Almost two years later Anna still struggles with grief and confusion. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, Anna receives a cryptic message suggesting her mother’s suicide was actually murder. Anna has always had doubts about the death of her parents but this message confirms her suspicions. As Anna digs deeper into the lives of her parents, she uncovers secrets, lies, and begins to question her relationship with her parents and everyone in her life. Or if your father has kept a life-threatening illness from you (he might see it as a way to protect you) and you find out about it, you’ll probably be more concerned about potentially losing him than you are about blaming him for the lie. Repetition: There is a repetition of the word “glad” in the third line. In the last two lines, he repeats the word “home” thrice. It is meant for the sake of emphasis.Take a manager who doesn’t tell you about a big new project or contract because they know how much you have on your plate right now, both at work and at home.

No one knew Anna had asked for this case to be re-opened, but it sure seemed as if they did. Strange things started happening that even her husband dismissed. Was she in danger too? The relationship between Murray and Sarah is the shining light in Let Me Lie. If the book had been about them....but....

This will be an exciting, twisty thriller to some, but for someone who reads a lot of this genre, I found it to be a bit predictable. There are many twists to be had, and unfortunately, they didn’t work for me. This is a downfall for a reader who loves thrillers and mysteries - I seem to always have my detective hat on and can’t take it off and just enjoy! Sometimes you can get results by side-stepping a manager and going above. Other times that will just get you fired or forced out. It’s also worth noting that funeral readings don’t always have to be sombre in tone. Many people would prefer their funeral to be a light-hearted occasion that is about remembrance rather than mourning. So, confront the person if you must, but pay close attention to their reaction. This can tell you a great deal about their motives and feelings. Moving Beyond The Lie
