Tell Me No Lies

Steph and Mark Gordon are just moving in ... this is a new start for both of them. Earlier, when Steph delivered her little boy, she suffered from post-natal depression and did and said a lot of things. Mark made himself feet better by having an affair. This is their attempt to save their marriage. And they are both worried because she is pregnant again. Things seem to go well, but then his job takes him away for weeks at a time. Still feeling a little bit vulnerable, she does make new friends. One is the man next door .. he seems very nice, very helpful. The other is the lady who lives across the street. She is almost overbearing in her friendship. Can you ever really start again? Once marital trust is broken, can it ever be earned again? Someone is going to great lengths to make things difficult for Steph. Who is leaving dead flowers for her, both outside and inside the house? Who is erasing her phone messages at home? Who stole her mobilephone and is sending texts in her name? Why does no one believe her? Why is her husband so reluctant to believe anything she says? This started out as an awesome book... a psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you turning pages. The reader can almost guess at what is really happening.. almost, but not quite. This was a 5-star read in my opinion... but the ending brought it down to a 4. The ending seemed unfinished.... rushed. I closed the book with a feeling of disappointment. Many thanks to the author / Carina UK / NetGalley who furnished a digital ARC.

A story I've read before. But I went with it, wondering why an intelligent woman could be so stupid! The ending left the reader hanging in mid air, not great and very frustrating. A waste of time and money, sorry.

Great book, couldn't put it down. Suspense and twists throughout, suspecting one and then the next. When you finally work it out the 'twist' pops up. Well written and whilst different to 'Between You & Me' also as good. Looking forward to the next Lisa Hall read ... already pre-ordered :)
