Silent Lies by Kathryn Croft

4.0

It's the lies that leave the bigger scar, that cause the mistrust.

I really enjoyed this! Solid 3.5 stars. I also cannot believe why I haven't read anything from Croft before but I certainly going to...and some of them are available in KU. Oh the joy!

I like the narration style, I am not fan of going back and forth in time but the format works here perfectly. One chapter from Mia as current day and one chapter from Josie, 5 years ago, adds bit mystery to the story. Having said that it was written simple yet effective free-flowing language. The kind of format I prefer.

I think the end was bit let down for me. As Kathryn herself mentioned in her acknowledgements -

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my sixth psychological thriller, Silent Lies - I really hope you got involved with the characters and were taken by surprise at the end!



Yes, yes we did, and I am relieved we found out truth about Zach's death, but having said that, what happens next? What will happen to Alison, Mia and Josie's lies once they are no longer lies? What would happen with Truth? There are many unanswered questions, open ending to call this as satisfying end but may be it is open for readers to design the ending whatever they like - maybe.

But like I said, Croft shows potential and I would looking into more of her work.
