A bit creepy with the whole almost rapist step mom, but I guess that doesn’t matter anymore…lol

Such a weird book. I don't know how I fell about it.

I very much enjoyed listening to this on audio, but I can tell that if I were to read this in print, I would have put it down. The writing was a little too simplistic, and reminded me of Shari Lapena's A Stranger in the House. The narrator gave a little more life to it and made it more interesting to listen to. It's usually really hard for me to find a narrator that I don't find annoying. A lot of parts were uncomfortable to get through, but it made an otherwise boring story more interesting. There wasn't a huge twist, either, which I sort of didn't mind, but with all the "answers" being pretty obvious, the last few discs were sort of boring. Still better than some I've read.

quick read. Clichéd, simple, convenient scenarios. Pretty unbelievable. Not very original, but a good depraved beach read!

I listened to the audiobook of the novel and obviously I could not stop listening as I finished the story in one day. I felt that the book’s description is a bit misleading as there was more to this story than described, but fear of spoilers keeps me from elaborating. An entertaining story with a satisfying conclusion!

Great read!

This was a great summer travel book, as it kept me reading and engrossed during long flights. It is surprising that so many crazy people met each other in one small town. I mean these people are twisted. It was a thriller that seemed too easy to solve, so you knew there would be a twist.. And there was!

4 dark and disturbing stars to All the Beautiful Lies! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Peter Swanson’s The Kind Worth Killing is at the pinnacle of the most gripping and disturbing thrillers I’ve ever read. Every thriller I read is compared to it, and none have measured up. I’m happy to say that All the Beautiful Lies was at that same level for me.

It all begins when Harry, a college student, receives a call from his stepmother, Alice, that his father is dead. Alice and the police believe it was a suicide, and Harry returns home to help put the pieces together. He quickly surmises that nothing adds up and finds himself surrounded by lies.

The chapters are divided into “then,” which is centered around Alice’s past, and “now,” which is focused on Harry. Every detail propelled the plot forward, and just like With the Kind Worth Killing, I began to feel uncomfortable with the beyond-troubling behavior of the characters.

Always full of twists and turns and strong female characters, I will be waiting in line for Peter Swanson’s next novel!

Thank you to Peter Swanson, William Morrow, and Edelweiss for the ARC. All the Beautiful Lies will be released on April 3, 2018.

One of his better ones. Great psychological thriller.

Wild from start to finish
