My Husband’s Lies
by Liz Lawler

Amazon / B&N / BB

The police are coming, they’re going to arrest me.’ My blood runs cold at his words. My husband is accused of murder. He swears he is innocent – so why won’t he tell me where he really was that night?

I feel so lucky to have my handsome husband Mark and our blue-eyed little boy. Everyone says we’re the perfect family. I used to believe them.

But everything changes when Mark comes home from a work trip with dark circles under his eyes. That night I jumped at a hammering at the door. The police want to question him about the murder of a beautiful, blonde young woman. Mark swears he had nothing to do with it, that she was a colleague, nothing more.

Mark is a respected airline pilot, and a model husband and father. It seems impossible that he would be involved in something like this. But he won’t say a word about where he was. I believe he’s not a killer – but I know he’s hiding something. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Then my husband is attacked. I sit by his hospital bed praying for him to wake up, tears streaming down my face. The police say it’s an accident. But what if someone has done this to him?

I go rigid with fear when I see someone hidden in the garden, watching the house. Are they coming to hurt us too? I’ll do anything to protect my precious little boy – and I have to start by uncovering my husband’s lies…

An unbelievably tense and twisty psychological thriller that will leave you breathless for more! Perfect for fans of Kathryn Croft, T.M. Logan and Ruth Heald.

My Rating:

Favorite Quote:

The only way to tell with certainty if someone was capable of murder is when they killed another human being.

My Review:

This was a slowly evolving tale with many red herrings that kept me spinning with theories. I conjured multiple suspicions and was only fractionally correct by the story’s conclusion. The writing and storylines were easy to follow and populated by unique and authentic characters with multiple quirks and foibles. And while they weren’t always likable, they remained compelling and held my interest.
