Book Review: "The Lie" By Kathryn Croft

Holy Smokes! This place is on fire and it ain't the damn barbeque party!!!

My word this had so much activity that it needed it's own runway for these actors on all sides.
Yes, I'm speaking about Tom and Lucy the couple of the year or was that the party of the year?!

Well, nevermind because I'm here to tell you this is one you sure as the dawning sun will want in your hands.

Isn't it nice to want to start over...How sweet!

We have Lucy/Tom -married/starting over. Their son Jacob and his new girlfriend Rose. Add to this Ava their daughter. And of course, the neighbors Carrie/Joe who have called it quits.

There's a ton of suspense surrounding Rose upon her disappearance especially when lil nuggets keep popping up in the neighborhood.

In fact, you might as well say that there's some things that might be better left unsaid but for which the secrets have slowly spilled out during the investigation.

It was quite the guilt trip because Lucy (mom) of Jacob never believed her son was guilty of harming Rose nor involved in her going missing.

It was Tom (his dad) who seemed less concerned and more into his work (I use the word loosely).
After all, he's a lawyer with much to lose.

Then there's the drama around Carrie and Joe. Joe was caught in some lies.
Did I mention Jacob's hidden past? You know, boys will be boys-Right?

However, would he lie to save face especially when relationships are being questioned?
What's this...We have more breaking news in the relationship saga. Ok, what on Earth is everybody doing? Have they all lost their ever lovin' minds?

I can't go into too much but suffice to say some people will do just about anything to get their kicks and this aint' Route 66.

Might I add that the twist and turns take us to places we may not want to go willingly. It's hard to fathom yet, it does occur and is nausea inducing for all parents everywhere. 

It's sad yet Rose made sure her voice was the last voice heard that mattered! In more ways than ONE!

Wow! Kathryn Croft has done it again and blown me away!

Thank you Kathryn Croft, Bookouture, and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
This was not only well written but a 'barn-burner' of excitement that never let up!

Highly recommend!
