An Honest Lie: A Domestic Thriller

From the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Never Never, co-written with Colleen Hoover!

"An Honest Lie is riveting suspense, but it's also a scream of defiance, a howl of rage."--Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times bestselling author

They've taken your friend, but only to get to you. What do you do?

Lorraine--"Rainy"--lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it's a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget.

If she's allowed to.

When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls' weekend in Vegas, she's prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn't come back to the hotel room.

And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe's phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why.

What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe--and herself--the only way is to step back into the past.

How far will one twin go to uncover where her "good half" has gone? Find out in Good Half Gone, #1 New York Times Bestselling author Tarryn Fisher's next twisty psychological thriller!

Tarryn Fisher knows how to take her readers on a mind bending ride and An Honest Lie is no different.

I don't want to give away too much but I will say the audio narration was great and I was sucked in from the start. It's fast paced, easy-to-read, and well worth the read or listen.

There are some triggers but with Tarryn's writing that's par for the course.

Many thanks to the Libro.fm Librarian ALC program, Harlequin Audio, and the author for this complimentary Audiobook Listening Copy.

A dual timeline thriller about a woman who escapes a cult. A decent storyline, but I get frustrated when women make stupid decisions- luckily this one didn’t have too many bimbos. Lots of drama and some good female badassery at the end, 3.5 stars for me! Book #80 in 2023
