The Lies I Told by Mary Burton
3.0

I read almost all the stories published by the author in the past and always looking forward to seeing where she will take us next with her novels.

Right from the start, I got hooked on the story, as I literally did not know what's happening and where this story goes. It took me a while to get into it, to be honest.

The author has crafted a story that will make you wonder what's real and what's actually happening time and time again.

Trying to solve a cold case on her own, while struggling to stay sober and overcoming a car accident that left her with lost memory for days, it proves difficult and it made me feel bad for Marisa.

But also there's the why in these 14 years that have passed, this murder wasn't solved?

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this title. There are sufficient parts that were done great and hold my attention and intrigued me to the point of wanting to know how this ends. But there are also many disjointed scenes where I felt lost and did not know what's happening or where is this going.
