A review by maevehk23
Don't Believe It by Charlie Donlea

mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

I love a good thriller, and this is exactly that - a decent thriller. I didn’t find the ending as twisty and shocking as other readers. In fact, I predicted the ending from the first half of the book. But what I did enjoy was the court room drama style of the documentary, the unlikely friendship between Gus and Sidney, and the investigation of all the clues that other thrillers don’t always give you. I found the style to be more of a beach/airport read, which made me excited to read more Donlea on my next trip, but the nature of the writing for me, remains only a vacation read.
