It took me awhile to get into this story but, I ended up finding it to be an enjoyable read and a good mystery. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t get into it. I still look forward to reading future books from this author!

Never read this book & do not remember requesting it. Than you. Hoping to review others so please keep me in mind.

A great mystery with lots of twist and turns. The story line was okay. It was a quick, simple read. I guessed the ending pretty early on.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great story by Barbara Taylor Sissel!! Really thrilling read, great characters and an enjoyable story. Highly recommend to others!!

It was an ok book, but not really my type. I thinks for an older age group with woman with older kids. I like more secrets and suspense, its a great book but made for middle aged woman.

Compulsively readable and gorgeously written, The Truth We Bury had me enthralled from the first page to its stunning conclusion. Readers will love the blend of suspense, mystery, and family drama, and book clubs will find much to discuss. This is a novel you won’t want to miss

A nicely done book in all aspects, that kept me entertained, and wanting to go on reading and defiantly interested until the end.

Not my favorite recent read, but not my least favorite. Kept me intrigued, but i found myself wanting more. It had twists, and kept me guessing, but something was lacking for me and I cannot quite put my finger on it. I will surely edit this when I figure out what it is!

The truth we bury, is interesting in that it deals with the emotionally side of PTSD and how it can, when left can lead to the devastation of relationships. Told from the point of view of the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom, a couple’s wedding preparations are halted by the death of a bridesmaid. Although parts were predictable, The Truth We Bury also touches on how fragile mental health can be and how secrets and lies are never kept buried.

This was a quick, enjoyable murder mystery but it wasn't a favorite. Although the story was interesting and I wanted to finish, I was making mental notes along the way about the writing style and lack of depth.

As you can see from all the books I have read by this author, see below, I am a huge fan. I love her writing style, which is descriptive and allows the reader to get lost in the story. She also has a talent of weaving and interweaving suspense until it ends with a climatic ending. I thought, that since I have read so many of her books, that I would be able to figure it out but once again, an ending that I didn't see coming.

In THE TRUTH WE BURY, AJ and Shea are getting married in 2 weeks. A joyous occasion for the couple but both mothers have doubts that this is a good match (vague not to cause spoiler). But it all comes crumbling down when one of the bridesmaids is found murdered in the groom's apartment. The police start their investigation but AJ, the groom, goes missing and the evidence they do have, AJ is the main suspect.

Only AJ's fiance and his mother don't believe that AJ could do this. Or is this just denial?

A cryptic note is found and another bridesmaid is found murdered.

A parent's love, is it always unconditional? Are secrets and lies truly buried?

Once again, Ms. Sissel keeps the reader glued to the pages that are full of suspense!!

The only negative I had reading this book, since it was an ARC, is now I have to wait patiently for the next novel by this author.

I highly recommend this book and all of her earlier books and I'm sure like me, she will be on your "authors to read" list.

Bravo Ms. Sissel !!! Another extraordinary read!

I loved this book, finished it in a few hours. It's a great book filled with suspense and family secrets where relationships and emotions mix together.
The story, which starts with the murder of a bridesmaid, tells the tale of two mothers. Lily whose son, AJ, is accused of murdering the bridesmaid and Dru, whose daughter, Shea, is AJ's fiancée and his staunch supporter.
Both the mothers have had a difficult emotional past which have left scars, and this influences their decisions and outlook. Each mother is trying to protect her own child. Lily feels both pain and and love for her son AJ, with whom she has not been able to connect, since his childhood and especially, after his return from the war. She struggles hard to prove his innocence. Dru, on the other hand, just wants to save her daughter from what she believes to be a grave mistake.

Barbara's words show the angst which the mothers experience. This book is a wonderful play of emotions seen from the point of view of both Lily and Dru. There are a lot of twists and turns, a good whodunit and family secrets, which doesn't fail to thrill.

One of my favorite genres- filled with lies, secrets and scandals, this did not disappoint. Kept me wanting more and completely hooked until the end! Very well written.

I tried very hard to get into this book but I just couldn’t do it. I found it very uneventful

I honestly could tell by the writing of the first 2 chapters that it wouldn't be a good fit for our box and had to put it down. I may read it again in the future!

Did not finish, as I recall there were too many cliches in the first chapter(s) of the book

Thank you NetGalley for providing a free copy of this book.

This was an overall good book, kept me entertained, but at the end I confess I started skimming because I just wanted it to end. I felt that the story was dragging a little bit at the end.

But it was a good book and I will definetely read books from this author again.

I really enjoyed the family drama and dynamics in this novel. Sometimes it was heart breaking and tense, and then it also provided a bit of hope. Barbara Taylor Sissel has given us a strongly emotional novel, a journey of secrets and deceit, and what family is all about.

I certainly got emotional when reading this, and I can't quite explain why. I enjoyed reading this, but was left with a few questions at the end. It didn't seem like everything got wrapped up, so hopefully there will be a second book!
