Good writing and interesting storyline. Plenty of twists and turns. Just as you think you have figured it out, you are proven wrong. A must read!

I have to say this is one of the best mysteries i have read in a long time.
The book starts out when Will seed his mom's car near a hotel and his dad decided to surprise her and follows her. He sees her arguing with her best friends husband. She leaves and he confronts the husband. Omg I never saw the truth until the end of the book. It kept me up through the whole book.
I hope this author writes more books and they are just as good. Great book!!!

This is the first thriller I've read in a VERY long time where I did not see the twist coming. And for that, T.M. Logan, you have thoroughly impressed me.

Joe has a charmed life. He's happily married to a beautiful, successful woman. He has a great career as a teacher, and a charming son who adores him. Life could not be better.

I mean, all of it is a complete lie, but he doesn't need to know that.

It all starts simply enough. Joe is driving his son home from school when they spot his wife a few lanes over and decide to go surprise her. This leads to a snowball of events that leave him running from the law and trying to figure out where everything went so, so wrong. And how much he really knows about his happy life.

This is most definitely a page turner. The piling on of events is kind of insane and seems almost unbelievable at times. Though it did make me think, "Did anyone ever piss Steve Jobs off enough for him to do this kind of sabotage?" Because I could see him pulling this off.

Seriously, though, I didn't see the end coming. I was trying to figure this out, and I was putting different players in different places, but the final reveal blew my mind. And I really want to turn around and re-read this again to see what I missed.

Well done, indeed.

Lies is one of those psychological thrillers that you can binge in one sitting, it’s fast paced and fun and one of those reads that flies by and before you know it you’re finished. In a market that’s over saturated with domestic thrillers Lies manages to stand out from the crowd and Logan brings his own unique twist to the genre.

One of the things I liked the most about this one was that Joe was the kind of character that you can root for. So many times psychological thrillers have highly unlikable characters and while that’s fun, it was a nice change of pace to enjoy a protagonist and not want to smack them upside the head! I also enjoyed Joe’s relationship with his adorable son, Will it felt authentic and sweet and was so nice to see in a thriller.

So of course this was twisty, it’s a thriller after all but I really was surprised by the main twist in the end and that’s always appreciated especially as I’m a pretty good armchair detective. Social media also played a huge role in the plot and that made it feel so fresh and relevant, probably yet another reason that this was a standout for me. If you like PT you’ll enjoy this one, it’s basically everything I look for in one with its own unique spin.

Lies in three words: Gripping, Propulsive and Tense.

Wow. This one grabbed me. It’s a straightforward psychological thriller, no clever devices, but that doesn’t mean it’s dull or boring by any stretch. Joe sees his wife pulling into a hotel car park and follows her in. The story builds and there appear to be a whole series of lies.

I really felt for Joe. I’ve had a family member deceive me (luckily not my husband) and I know all too well that gut wrenching feeling of having the world fall out from under your feet. Logan gets that part of the story exactly right.

Joe does not always strike me as the brightest bulb in the pack. I questioned some of his actions as being particularly dim. Still, I was rooting for him to get out of this mess.

This is a fast paced novel, able to keep your interest. Logan’s use of social media, texts and hacking make it all very current. And scary. I had part of the equation of how this would play out figured out but I missed several big points.

My thanks to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advance copy of this book.

Wow... Loved this book. Kept me guessing right to the end. I read it in two days, couldn't put it down.... One of the best stories I have read recently.
Thanks for the opportunity to review...

I tried very hard to get into this story, but it just wasn't up my alley. Since I hate to give a harsh review to a book I didn't read through to the end, I will not post negative feedback on Goodreads, Facebook, my blog, or other social media.


I appreciate being given the opportunity to read and review this book.

Even though I guessed it early on, I was captivated by to story and could not put it down. Very well written, fast paced and well thought out. Very much enjoyed it. Thank you publisher and netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a definite page turner! The title says it all- you absolutely don't know who is lying, and if you have a suspicion that someone is lying, you definitely don't know why. This book kept me up reading late into the night because I just had to find out what was going on, and when I did, I was pretty surprised. The ending twist summing everything up was surprising and intriguing, exactly what I'm looking for with a psychological suspense book.
I don't want to give too much detail because I don't want to give anything away. I really dislike the trope of someone being falsely accused of something and scrambling around to prove their innocence, but in this case I will give the author props because it didn't bother me as much as it usually does. I still could have done without it, but it worked within the confines of this narrative.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy to review. Wow... this book kept me guessing until the final chapter! It has been a while since I've had a book that did that. If you like books that are suspenseful, without being a horror book this is one for you. There are many twists and turns around every page that you turn.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately, I have tried reading this book on 2 separate occasions and during this 2nd attempt, I have only managed to make it halfway through so I'd rather stop here and state that this book just wasn't for me.
I wish the author, publisher, and all those promoting the book much success and connections with the right readers.

What happened to Ben? Is he still alive and, if he's alive, just where is he? And who is using social media to destroy Joe's life?

This debut psychological thriller by T. M. Logan will keep you on the edge of your chair, while turning pages as quickly as you can. The narrator, Joe, is thwarted at every turn as he tries to discover who is using social media, and how, to frame him for murder.

Joe is so meek that he comes across as wimpy, and I found the other characters very disagreeable. Despite these issues, Lies is a twisty, turny thriller that will keep you guessing until the bitter end.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received a free digital copy of this title to review from Net Galley.

This book kept me on edge the entire time. The suspense was huge. And the twists & turns the book took kept me intrigued the entire time. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great mystery/suspense book.

Lies is all about the ending. The journey there is not the best journey you’ll ever go on … But the ending!!

Joe Lynch is a happily married man, devoted father and respected teacher until he spots his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Joe’s life begins to unravel as he learns how his wife has lied to him and put their entire family in jeopardy. The man she met at the hotel has vanished, and as the police investigate his disappearance, suspicion falls on Joe.

This story started off well enough but is very slow through the middle. However, that slow middle is made up for a bit with a surprise ending. Wow! Maybe you would have seen it coming, but this reader did not and that made this book worth the slow, plodding journey. For a debut novel, it’s not bad and means I’ll give Logan’s next book a try. Here’s hoping he’ll improve the lack luster middle and give me that surprise feeling all the way through next time.

" Open your eyes Joe, see what's really going on around you"

The Story of Joe and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This story kept me guessing and getting so upset with the Joe and his lack of selfishness. I had a grasp on what the ending would be but I for sure didn't know it was going to have so many twists and turns. This was a great suspense novel.

Joe is a great dad & a devoted husband, living a satisfying life. One day, he is driving home & spots his wife's car going to a hotel. He follows her there (which is very uncharacteristic for him), and witnesses a fight between her and a family friend, Ben. Joe confronts Ben, accidentally knocks him unconscious, and then has to quickly leave to help his son who is having an asthma attack. When he returns to make sure Ben is OK, he is gone. The story goes crazy from here - Joe starts to receive texts, phone calls, and social media notifications, all pointing to something very odd going on. What really happened with Ben? How many lies are going to come up?

I loved this thriller. It had some amazing twists & turns throughout. Joe is the wonderful dad & husband that everyone loves and wants to be. Ben is the perfect man that you love to hate - harsh, macho, and hell bent on getting what he wants, no matter what stands in his way. This really sucked me in, because I was rooting for Joe from the very first page.

I also loved how Joe took everything in stride. He is confronted with some life changing news, but doesn't let it stop him from seeking justice & trying to figure out what is truly going on,

The ending was amazing! I definitely didn't see it ending how it did, which is wonderful, because there are so many thrillers now that follow the same formula. I didn't anticipate the climax, so I loved the surprise and genuinely being shocked. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves thrillers, and even to those who don't! It was a great book & I definitely would read anything this author wrote.

Absolutely amazing!!! I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to find out what happened! Would definitely recommend this book to all my friends and book club members.

OMG!! What an amazing rollercoaster of a ride!! Lies is a great thriller that had me guessing all along and always being wrong. The twists and turns are very convincing and unpredictable. I think of Lies as a techno-thriller because technology takes center stage, or rather our dependence on it. Actually, it’s all kind of scary if you think about it — we are so addicted to our tech devices. It reminds me of what we learned about Amazon’s devices and iPhones — they are always on and listening, in case you say “Alexa” or “Siri.” After Amazon sent a transcript of a private conversation to someone’s business associate, I keep unplugging my Echo when not in use. Yeah, I’m paranoia. Now getting back to Lies.... it’s a quick read and an addictive read. Most chapters end with a mini-cliffhanger and you cannot help turning the page to continue reading. Believe me, you will stay up late reading this one!

The first sentence hooked me and there was no turning back.

I often wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t seen her car that day.

The main protagonist is Joe, a relatable schoolteacher who has a special bond with his young son, Wills. When Wills spots his Mom’s car, he convinces his Dad to follow so they can surprise her. Joe follows and finds her in a hotel lobby, arguing with their friend Ben. When Ben heads to the parking lot to retrieve his car, Joe tries to have a word with him and they end up in a physical altercation. Ben gets knocked to the ground and is unconscious with blood dripping out of his ear. Panic strikes and Joe wonders, Did I just kill Ben? You will have to read Lies to find out!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This novel will keep you guessing to the very end. While you're reading, you won't know WHO to believe and WHAT is true. I could NOT put this book down.

Loved the book! I was immediately drawn into this domestic suspense and entertained by the cast of characters. I really appreciated that the protagonist was the husband rather than the wife and that he was a stay at home father. I did get the twist toward the middle of the book, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment one bit.
