Product Information

What if you have the perfect life, the perfect wife and the perfect child - and then, in one shattering moment, you discover nothing is as it seems? Twisted, dark, heart-pounding, deceptive, distorted fun—do not start this book if you don’t have time to stay up late into the night reading it! It is that hard to put down! When we began this read, I thought it would be a good old-fashioned domestic noir novel. But it blew my expectations out of the water. My mind thought of dozens of scenarios, but not a single one I thought of was THAT twist! I loved it!

outstanding and very well-written debut psychological thriller.The book was so gripping I genuinely found it hard to put down...a consistent domestic thriller; my favourite sort. The tension builds towards the end and I certainly did not expect the final twist which was a thrilling conclusion. I absolutely recommend this book!'Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious. I absolutely loved Joe as a father. For everything that frustrated me about him as a husband (seriously, Joe, she is in a hotel with another man in the middle of the work day!), Joe redeemed himself as a friend and as a father. Joe is truly one of the good ones. Believing others can change, and believing that if you act with goodness, the truth will prevail. Wow, Lies is captivating from the start! Joe happens upon his wife when she is supposed to be at work. He follows her into a hotel where he sees her in an argument with a friend of theirs, Ben. Joe Lynch was driving in his car with his son Will and they spotted his wife's blue in traffic. Will kept asking for Joe to follow mommy... and as we all would be intrigued why wouldn't you? But, ONE decision turns Joe's world upside down.

This is a novel of well defined characters involved in an intricate plot that keeps our interest. Who could ask for anything more? When Joe witnesses his wife in an angry dispute with Ben, the husband of Mel’s best friend, Beth, he knows he must step in.Towards the end was engaging, silly not extremely believable...but I didn’t see the ending coming either. On the fateful day that Joe sees his wife's car entering an underground car park, and decides to follow her, his life will never ever be the same again. He witnesses her arguing with family friend Ben, and life as he knew it will begin to unravel in a most spectacular fashion. Joe Lynch thought he had a nice, comfortable life. He's happily married to his beautiful wife and soul mate, Mel. Their young son, William, is a happy and healthy little boy. His family is the most important thing in the world to him. He thinks he has the perfect life. Disclaimer: I won a copy of Lies from a Goodreads giveaway hosted by the publisher.
