The Lies He Told

Review: The Lies He Told - Valerie Keogh - July 2021

I have found this past month a bit of a struggle with reading as lately I have either been too busy to read or I am finding it harder for books to keep my attention. This book though was an amazing read and one of the better thrillers I have read certainly this week as read a couple for book tours. This book starts with our writer Misty who makes her wealth writing thrillers and one day, out of the blue her boyfriend Toby tells her he is leaving her and doesn't love her anymore. Just like that. He leaves and she never sees him again. The next thing she knows, she gets a knock on the door - a female named Gwen who is his new girlfriend says Toby didn't show up. Misty discovers that just like she was caught blindsided and the girlfriend Babs before Misty, Gwen has been too. Then imagine my surprise when we get a fourth female who turns out to be Toby's wife of twenty years. We learn as the book goes on that Toby loved to live an extravagant lifestyle and infidelity was his middle name as the lies, he told all four females start to unravel. When there starts to be no sign of Toby, we assume then he is dead and one of the four killed him, or did more than one of them play a role in his disappearance? The last few chapters of this book end up being a very twisty read and had a Murder on the Orient Express feel to it, you know those twists that Agatha Christie was famous for with all the characters ultimately playing a part in the demise/fall of the victim which I think was the clincher for me as I love these types of stories. Overall, if you are in the mood for a great thriller to set your night on edge, then I recommend you check out The Lies He Told by Valerie Keogh as it was also a gritty read and fast-paced.
