David Ellis is such a great writer. He does it allllll in The Best Lies. It is a complex and layered mystery for the crime solvers and there are twisty surprises throughout to satiate the thriller lovers. The short cliffhanger chapters kept the narrative moving and held me in RAPT attention. The Best Lies is different than Look Closer, it is more of a crime fiction/action thriller (think lawyers, FBI, the mob). I am happy to report that I loved both! Look Closer is my number 1, but The Best Lies was excellent.
