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.
