3 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Some secrets should never be kept... Andy Boyd thinks he is the luckiest man alive. Widowed with a young child, after his wife dies in childbirth, he is certain that he will never again experience true love. Then he meets Anna. Feisty, fun and beautiful, she’s his perfect match ... and she loves his son like he is her own. When Andy ends up in the hospital on his wedding night, he receives his first clue that Anna is not all that she seems. Desperate for that happy-ever-after, he ignores it. A dangerous mistake that could cost him everything. A brave, deeply moving, page-turning psychological thriller, A Suitable Lie marks a stunning departure for one of Scotland’s finest crime writers, exploring the lengths people will go to hide their deepest secrets, even if it kills them...

Mehso-so

For me personally, this is a so-so, because I don't generally read this kind of thriller. However, it may well be worth reading for people who like psychological thrillers. (Also, apparently there's such a genre as the marriage thriller?)

This was one of the freebie books in my Bouchercon swag bag. There's a front-cover blurb by Caro Ramsay, and Chris Brookmyre was reading another of Malone's books on his way to Bouchercon, so I am cautiously optimistic.

Pickpick

This book is exquisitely crafted and tightly plotted. Watching a dysfunctional relationship was much like watching a car accident in that I couldn‘t look away even if it was painful to watch. This book is truly special and unforgettable, I was moved to tears more than once but there were also moments of joy and laughter. I can‘t recommend it more highly and I only hope that my review conveyed how highly I regard both this novel and the author.
