Woah....finished this twisted mystery in one day, I couldn't put it down. These are some seriously deranged characters. Almost everyone in this book is evil, except Harry.

Content warnings apply! There is sexual abuse and taboo relationships, and those behaviors were somewhat normalized in the writing as a "passed down" trait (where it's expected that victims will become abusers). Because this is a work of fiction I was able to suspend belief, but readers who are looking for a "realistic" thriller might not like this one.

It did work for me, however. While uncomfortable and ugly, it kept me guessing with lots of delicious twists that Peter Swanson is known for. Having read four of his books so far, I'd rank All The Beautiful Lies currently as my second favorite, behind The Kind Worth Killing.
