Where the Truth Lies by Rupert Holmes

5.0

Read this quite a while ago, but was thinking about it today and wanted to put a review out there because this is an absolutely gripping book. (PLEASE skip the movie. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the book and changing one of the main characters from a suave Dean Martin to a suave Brit just didn't do it. No offense to Colin Firth who is a great actor, but it just didn't work.) The fact that I can remember reading it at lunch over 10 years ago and not being able to put it down speaks volumes. (This was in pre-e reader days.) I had work to do, but I just couldn't stop reading. I had it in my lap and was sneak reading it. I stayed at the office LATE on a Friday because I couldn't put it down. It had so many twists and turns and I couldn't help but get caught up with it.

I've re-read it, even knowing how it ends (and who the killer is and how it happened...which is pretty amazing) and it STILL grips me every time.

Put simply: I LOVE this book and it takes suspense and mystery to a new (and sometimes kinky level). Plus if you love the 1970s and Disneyland, you'll want to check this out too.
