The Lying Room
Nicci French
Neve
Connolly is having an affair with her boss Saul. One morning she gets
a text message to meet him at his London flat. Arriving at his place,
she is shocked to find him dead. What does she do? She cleans the
crime scene, hoping to erase any trace that she's ever been there.
After all, she has her husband and three children to think about and
her job. After telling numerous lies to the police, hoping to protect
herself, she realizes she has to find out who killed Saul and why, if
she wants to avoid being caught in her tangled web of lies.
The Lying Room is an exciting mystery with a lot of twists and turns. That alone makes this one worth reading. But the long drawn out chapters, unfortunately, made this seem like a slow-moving story. I also felt the last chapter was a bit odd, and it felt like it dangled a bit in the end as an afterthought. I think parts of it should have been integrated into the story much earlier but, that being said, the authors provided an entertaining mystery that I enjoyed.
Thanks to LibraryThing and William Morrow for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
