Lies

Product Information

T.M.Logan is a great ‘tale teller’, he captivates with his easy writing style, this book is no different, the style and ease of the writing is superb it really is Now the sensible thing would be to immediately raise the alarm but then this would be a very short book. However by delaying matters, Ellen has no idea how her life is about to change.

I’m usually able to go with the flow. Put my beliefs on hold as needed. But this one stretched my sense of reality too thin. I truly loved this author’s previous novel Lies. Sadly, this one just didn’t measure up for me. Joe’s life begins to fall apart when he accidentally discovers Mel meeting her best friend’s husband at a motel bar. Ben Delaney is rich, handsome, smart, and ruthless. They have a super-smart fourteen-year-old daughter named Alice who sometimes baby-sits William. Ben and Beth have been married for 15 years, and Mel was maid of honor at their wedding. He’s owner and managing director of a software development company that specializes in creating computer games, and Ben loves to play games.However.....as the story unfolds it all goes pear shape in it’s believability, for me anyway, it goes off at a tangent and just never regained it’s initial plausibility and I guessed the culprit very early on ( due to the constant barrage of evidence against the person we were meant to think it was, it was too much one way) the book only really started to get juicy like just over the middle mark- mystery novels are supposed to reveal small peices of the story little by little but this book just kept giving me questions and not a single answer. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. The texts suggest an affair and a plan to figure out “what to do” while they are both in France...which means that the woman involved is also on this trip, and that means it’s one of her best friends..

I was born in Berkshire and grew up in Reading, the youngest of three boys and a fully-fledged bookworm from a very young age. I read history at Westfield College, part of the University of London, and went on to do a postgrad at Cardiff University. THE CATCH, Tim’s thrillers have sold more than two million copies in the UK and are published in translation in 22 other countries including Italy, Spain, Sweden, Portugal, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, South Korea, Romania and the Netherlands. My only gripe, and it's a relatively small one...I was hoping for more tension and build-up as the story progressed. Regardless, the story was compelling and kept me engaged throughout. I recently read Woman on the Edge, and I wasn't impressed with that one. When I read similar description of TRUST ME, I was hesitant. As I enjoyed this author's 29 Seconds, I decided to give this story a try and...

Ellen (41) was a heroine who I connected with right away. She was easy to identify with and care about. I felt sorry for her... a miscarriage, going through fertility issues, her husband walking away from her, discovering that he will be a father soon... it all must have hurt her a lot. But the men are ALL heros. Even the character who's 40 years old and watching a 16 year old girl in the pool, noticing her bikini top can hardly contain what's inside. Here's a direct quote... " Untouched by cellulite, by age, by wrinkles and lines and all the other stuff that ruined women in the end." That's horrible. The book takes place in France. Great! Too bad the author forgot to include any kind of descriptive settings to reinforce that. It could have taken place anywhere. Also sexist is that the couples are literally staying in a house on a vineyard but none of the men drink wine. Only beer, whiskey or tequila. How masculine of them!.....eye roll. As you’ve read from the blurb 4 college friends decide to take a trip to France, including their husbands and kids. The decision is helped along by the fact that one of them, Rowan, has been able to secure a beautiful vacation spot for them. What could be more perfect than a vacation to a vineyard with a beautiful pool with luxurious accommodations. Apparently what sounds perfect on paper doesn’t always pan out. While I pretty much detested every single character in this book (some waaaaay more than others), I simply couldn’t put it down! So full of lies, secrets and drama - I loved every minute of it! As the book moves along, I enjoyed watching everything crumble and couldn’t look away!
