I didn’t see that coming, I thought I had it figured out. I was so sure I knew who was behind the lies to hurt Joseph Lynch. I was wrong. This was a great story. My favorite lines “It’s the doing. The being. The experience of it.” Don’t let your electronics experience your life for you!!!

How real is your reality?
How different would your life be if you had been five seconds faster or five seconds slower? Joe Lynch is driving home when his four year old son spots his mother’s car in the traffic. He follows his wife, Mel, into an underground car park of the Premier Inn hotel and witnesses an encounter between her and a family friend, Ben Delaney, married to one of Mel’s closest friends. An encounter where Ben is downright angry, his face dark with frustration. Not wishing to intrude, he retreats to wait for his wife in the parking garage. Joe misses Mel on her way out but bumps into Ben as he steps off the lift and confronts him about meeting Mel. Ben at first denies it and then whirls on Joe, grabbing him by his shirt and slamming him against his car while yelling “You have no idea, you big, daft bastard. You’re so dense that you haven’t seen it have you?” Joe shoves Ben, who stumbles, trips over his briefcase, falls and cracks his head on the concrete, lying there immobile with blood seeping out of his ear. Joe’s son witnesses this and it triggers an asthma attack but the inhaler is not in the car or in the bag. Joe has no choice but to leave Ben and rush home for the spare inhaler. When his son is stable, Joe returns to the car park but both Ben and his car are gone.
The next day Joe’s life changes and nothing will ever be as it was before. His reality becomes his biggest nightmare and he tries everything he can to put things right; things that will never be right again.

That could never happen in real life.....or could it?

What makes Lies so relatable is that any one of us could find ourselves in the wrong place, wrong time. We could have a total innocuous Google search come back to haunt us. The author has a good grasp on how social media can be twisted to hurt someone, make them believe something that isn't true, or ruin their reputation.

What is the lie? Any one of the characters in this novel could be telling a lie.

Nobody is ever where they are supposed to be.

Has Joe hurt his friend, Ben, or Ben gaslighting Joe?

Is Joe's wife having an affair, or is Ben stalking her?

Is Joe an unreliable narrator, or just incredibly naive?

The tension is held throughout the narrative. I wanted to race ahead to the next chapter (just one more......okay, just ONE more....) because sometimes the tension was just that good. I partially guessed the ending, but the way it was revealed was a complete surprise. I can't wait to read more from this author!

This is a great mystery. The characters were written with layers upon layers that got peeled away to reveal who they really are. The plot is interesting and I got totally involved in thinking what really happened and trying to make sense of the information given. It was hard for me to stop reading. I'd tell myself I'll read one more chapter and I'd wind up reading four. The ending was a major surprise. I never saw it coming but then I started thinking back to certain clues and situations and I'd wonder why didn't I see that? T M Logan has written a book worthy of five stars.

I received an Advanced Reader's Copy through NetGalley. I am pleased to voluntarily write this review.

Wow!! A really good psychological thriller. Was not expecting the twist at the end! Clever writing!

What if one day you realized everything that you know - everything you thought you knew was just actually a lifetime worth of lies? After all, no matter how big or small - a lie is a lie.

Joe Lynch thought he had it all -a rewarding job, a dedicated wife and a wonderful son. That’s is until Joe made a spur-of-the-moment decision that would forever change his life. Joe is faced with the fact that sadly life comes with no “reset” option. In life, you can’t take anything back and you can’t undo your actions. Often, you just have suck it up and accept the consequences.

Lies, is a tense, torrid tale of deception. Beautifully written to keep you guessing up till the end! I give this twisty tale 5 stars!❤️

Read this on the plane and wished for a few more hours in the air. Fast paced, page turning mystery. Cunning twists but I didn’t figure it out until close to the end. Definitely worth the read!!

I read this book in two sittings. I am usually able to figure out about 3/4 of the way through a book how it is going to end. I never saw the ending coming!

It had me from the first chapter. I really liked the main character. Very suspensful. A page turner I couldn't put down. First book I have read by this author and am definately interested in reading more.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a page turner from the start and just kept going. Joe Lynch was a likeable main character and I was really rooting for him. I loved all the twists and turns and did not have it figured out at all until it was finally exposed at the end of the book what had happened. It was well thought out, well written, had great suspense and a likeable main character. 4.5 stars!

Although I never heard of this author I gave them a try and I'm glad I did. This a well written masterpiece and I look forward to there next one. The book kept me guessing until the end. If your looking for a good read one you won't want to put down grab this book!

Action packed read!

This was a quick read. Main character was annoying though because he was a bit too surface when everyone was clearly lying to him.

Wow I could hardly put this down. Too bad I have to work instead of just reading books. Poor Joe a hardworking teacher finds out his wife has been lying with s capital L for a long time. Things start spinning out of control after a fight with an aquantance and suddenly the police are breathing down his neck.
Trying to hold things together for his 4 year old son, Joe is trying to figure out the network of lies his wife has spun.
This story has so many twists and turns and a surprise ending that you will not see coming.
Don’t miss this one it will have you on the edge of your seat
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advance copy. Great read

Very enjoyable read! This thriller grabs you from the first chapter, pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the exciting ending, when everything is revealed.

Similar to Gone Girl, the story is about a man who goes missing and the protagonist, who's framed for his murder. The plot isn't as convoluted as Gone Girl, but it kept me reading.

Highly recommended!

Lies is the latest story by T. M. Logan and the first I've read of his work. I certainly will be reading more by this author. The first chapter immediately draws in the reader and as the pages flow it gets more and more difficult to put down. Mr Logan delivers twists and turns the reader won't see coming. I was given an early copy to review.

Lies by T. M. Logan is not coming out in the US until September 2018. So I’d like to thank Netgalley for a chance to read and review this book well before the release in the US. It has been available in the UK for a while and presumably sold well enough that the a release in the US seemed like a good idea.

The book cover poses the question ” WHAT IF YOUR WHOLE LIFE WAS BASED ON LIES?” Seemed to me to be a bit of an oversell. Certainly the main character believed much of his adult life was based on a lie but not his entire life. Perhaps that is a fairly minor point or maybe the publisher just tried too hard with the cover.

The reviews I have seen on Netgalley, US Amazon, UK Amazon, and Goodreads have mostly been favorable. But I had mixed feelings about this book.

I enjoyed Lies by T. M. Logan very much up to a certain point and then tired of it somewhat but it did keep my interest until the end.

But nearly all the reviews I’ve seen were good ones and maybe my problem was just me. Read the reviews and decide if you might like this one.

Many twists and turns! Very engaging and thrilling to read. Will read more from this author. Don't miss this one!

Joe Lynch's seemingly perfect life is about to change. He adores his wife and their young son but when he decides to follow his wife's car inside an underground car garage he witnesses his wife arguing with Ben (a friend of the family) and life as he knows it starts to unravel in a fast paced, entertaining fashion.

Joe confronts Ben in the parking lot. They get into a physical argument and Joe knocks, Ben unconscious. Immediately, his young son has an asthma attack and with no inhaler in sight, Joe leaves to take care of his son.

Joe returns to check on Ben and Ben and his car are missing. Shortly after, Joe starts to receive threatening messages from Ben. Joe reports, Ben missing and becomes a suspect. Joe now has to prove his innocence.

TM Logan, tells this debut novel from a first person perspective and a twist that will make your head spin. This is a perfect psychological thriller that uses fast paced technology to enhance the story line. This is a cat and mouse thriller that will entertain you for hours.

* I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good surprise ending. I had a hard time putting this book down and even when I wasn't reading it, I was trying to put all the pieces together.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for a copy of LIES in exchange for an honest review.

What a beautifully twisty phsychological thriller Lies was! In the vein of Gone Girl and The Good Widow by Steinke and Fenton, this book takes you on an unexpected ride.

Poor Joe finds himself in the midst of a crazy murder investigation. But the person he is accused of murdering doesn't actually seem to be dead. The majority of the story follows Joe as he tries to prove he is innocent. But, what should be such an easy task ends up being the complete opposite and he can't seem to figure out which way is up.

Every time I thought I had this one figured out, Logan threw me for another loop. What a beautifully done thriller. I ripped through the pages at a high rate of speed and loved every minute. I would love to read more of his books. Loved, loved, loved it!
