Title: This Is Why We Lied
Author: Karin Saughter
Publisher: Harper Collins
Publication Date: June, 2024
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 432
My Rating: ★★★★☆
GBI agent Will & Sara are newlyweds on honeymoon in a remote mountain location. When the manager of the holiday homes gets brutally murdered, Will and Sara get to work on finding the killer. But it isn’t as clear cut as things first seem and a whole host of secrets are uncovered along the way…
Ooh this was twisty and really kept me on my toes! Full of really unlikeable characters and a tragic backstory, I was fully behind Will and his search for the killer. My heart ached for Mercy and what she’d been through.
It is a slow burn and I typically like my thrillers a bit faster paced, but the storyline kept me interested and I was so invested in getting justice for Mercy.
Trigger warnings: domestic and sexual abuse (including that of children)
