Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin Press for the advanced copy.

When I first heard about this book, I knew I had to read it since I love thrillers.

Lies started out great for me. I was intrigued and was flipping the pages nonstop. The plot of the book was very interesting and I couldn't wait to see where it was going to go. However, somewhere around the halfway point, the book started to drag for me. I was still intrigued and needed to know who was behind what, even though my mind already played it out. While though certain parts were predictable for me, it was a solid 3 Star book. I'd definitely pick up another T.M. Logan book.

WOW !!! I thought this book was phenomenal !!! It was a little slow getting me hooked but before long, I was captivated. I read it start to finish with only a break for lunch. It's the story of Joe Lynch who is a boring, naive, creature of habit but all around nice guy and good husband and father. On his way home one evening, he notices his wife's car going into the parking garage of a hotel. He follows her and his life changes forever. She is meeting a man and what appears to be an affair. Joe confronts the man as he's leaving and what ensues is the disappearance of the man. The book takes us through the investigation into the man's disappearance as evidence mounts against Joe and the man's possible murder. The story evolves with many twists, turns and suspects until the totally unexpected truth is revealed. I think it's a wonderful psychological thriller. A Definite Must Read !!!

This book started off exciting and right into the thick of things! A page turner. A title such as this will lead you to believe the there are many "lies" in the book, that are built up until everything comes to a head. Which it did, but the level of lies, and the amounts of lies, had my head spinning!

I started out really liking the Joe, and feeling badly for him, by the middle of the book, I had little empathy for him because he was just an idiot, who SAID he wasn't going to accept more lies from his wife, didn't seem to struggle with what she was telling him, but just kept handling every situation as if she and he were a victim.

Not a predictable ending, but not very enjoyable. To me, pretty unrealistic. I would say a bit draw for this book might be the social media content and iPhones. That so played into the mystery as well. Few characters, many loathsome. I'd read another of this authors work before saying of their writing abilities.

Thank to NetGalley for a copy of this book for an honest review.

I was sent an ARC of this book to review by Net Galley. I’m a big fan of psychological thrillers and this one did not disappoint. I haven’t read a book this quickly in a very long time. Joe thought his wife was having an affair; simple premise. But this book was anything but simple. Twists and turns all along the way that keep the reader guessing. I was sure I had it figured out halfway through, then I thought I had it figured out again. I was wrong in both instances, and the final reveal was a shock. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading this genre, and am looking forward to more books by this author.

This book was an overall good read. Solid writing. The beginning and the end are action packed with the bulk of the story revealing details little by little and I felt as the reader that I was figuring out the mystery at the same time. Characters that are usually minor are of way more importance and way more interesting. I loved the plot twist in the end. Thanks Netgalley for the read.

This is an amazing thriller book. From the first page to last, the story keeps you at the edge of your seat.
I loved the story and character development. This one of the best thriller books I have read so far this year. Twist at the end of the story is not what I have expected. One of the best twists at the ending.

Absolutely, a great book to read.

I'd give this book three stars. It started off well, but then it started dragging (for me) and I found myself flipping the pages to move on. At about the 50% mark, I just wanted to get this book over with and decided to skip ahead close to the 80% mark and finished it from there. I found the reveal interesting, and felt that I did not miss much by skipping ahead.

Lies by TM Logan is going to be one of the best books of the year. You cannot turn the pages fast enough ! When I downloaded it from Netgalley I had five days to read it. Did it in two ! The characters are real and this book keeps you guessing until the very end. Loved it. Anxiously awaiting another from this author. Very well done.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. Thoroughly enjoyed this domestic suspensor which kept me reading and guessing until the very end!

I couldn’t stop reading this book! I really thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong and the final twist really surprised me. This really is kind of a light read for a book that is so suspenseful, and that is probably one of the best things about it to me. I never felt like I had to work through it, the story just kept unfolding itself to me and kept me drawn in the whole time.

oh My goodness I loved this book! From the opening sentence “I often wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t seen her car that day”, we are off on a ride that left me wondering what else could happen to the train wreck that had become Joe’s life. What a good, solid guy Joe was, certainly not deserving of the impact so many lies had on his life. While I was able to predict some of the things that happened, I never saw the craziness at the end coming. Wow, just wow. I do wish a few loose ends had been tied up at the end, especially about the bad guys and Joe’s career, but over all, I thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read and give my opinion of this fantastic book. I’m also hopeful that the grammar mistakes and typos have been corrected (especially the place where main character Melissa was called Melanie).

A father and his son are on a drive when they spot their wife and mom's car. They decide to follow her to a motel where she is meeting a man in secret. The two men fight and it ends badly. The father and his son drive away when the son has an asthma attack. When he comes back to check on the other guy the father realizes the other guy is gone.

The rest of the book has the father trying to prove that he wasn't responsible for the other guy's disappearance. He receives emails that seem to be from the missing guy, but it's all circumstantial and no one believes him for a long time. There's a Big Twist.

It was fine.

I really wanted to love Lies. My book club was raving about it! Instead, I only liked it. The story was entertaining and kept me interested. I felt connected to the character Joe, but found that he was too nice and too good. His reaction to his wife’s infidelity was not as turbulent as it should have been. Character Mel was not likeable. The last 20 pages of the book got my adrenaline going, I was surprised by the twist in the plot! I did not anticipate the ending and was surprised how the story ended. Overall it was a good read.

Whenever I chose to read a book, whether I like it or not, I read to the end. I will sometimes be surprised.
I couldn't get past 50 pages of this book. The writing is bad, the scenes are too fantastical and not interesting, no person had a personality. The narrator thought his way between incidents which came fast and furious. He thought in exclamation points.

One can forgive a couple of these things if the plot is exciting and keeps you turning the page. This plot was so uninteresting and the narrator such a bore that I had to put the book down. There are too many good books to read and not enough time.

I won't put my review on-line.

"Lies" drew me in to the point I was angry and upset on behalf of the protagonist (and frankly, sometimes angry at him, behaving in the dangerous ways protagonists often do). The climax was a twist I did not remotely suspect was coming. A well-written, well-plotted quick read. I would recommend this book.

I found this book to be entertaining. At times I was frustrated with how the storyline was going. But overall the story was ok.

If Alfred Hitchcock were alive today, he would be snatching up the rights to this compulsively readable novel. Lies tells the story of an innocent man wrongly suspected of a crime. Joe may have accidentally hurt an acquaintance, but there is no body so maybe not. He starts getting creepy phone calls and Facebook messages. It has to be the presumably dead friend who didn't die and for spoilerish reasons is stalking him... right? I mean, what else could it be? I must say that I had no idea, other than it wasn't Joe and that I hated seeing how the evidence kept stacking up against him. And it's because Joe is such a good guy. He may not be ambitious or rich, but he is genuinely nice. His relationship with his adorable little boy is very tender and only made me like him more. Joe also makes a lot of mistakes to the point where I wanted to slap him, but he is not dumb and some plot points surprised me. The story is unpredictable and so suspenseful that I almost saw Hitch's silhouette in the casino that Joe visits, betting his McGuffin at the poker table. A really excellent novel.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley/St. Martin's Press!

“””I felt like I was standing in someone else’s clothes, in someone else’s house, living someone else’s life”””......first of all been there, done that, a little close to home. This book was fast paced, left me needing to pay attention, not speed read, because all of the pieces of the story had to fit together somehow BUT!!! I just didn’t see THIS coming. HUGE PLOT TWIST, but not until you “think” you know how it will all play out. Not until I was comfortable in my “guess” was I completely MIND BLOWN!!! Well played Mr. Logan. Possibly this year’s best ending book for me yet!!

This was a fantastic psychological thriller - I could not put it down! Joe Lynch's seemingly perfect life is turned upside down when he follows his wife to a hotel where he sees her meeting her best friend's husband, Ben. When Ben disappears but taunts and baits Joe through texts and social media Joe becomes determined to find him before Ben destroys his life. The author really shows the power of social media and how quickly stories and rumors can spread and how you really don't know who or what you can believe.

This compelling, tension filled domestic thriller captivated me from the beginning. The suspense never let up. I was very much invested in Joe and his fate. It is a warning about how the social media, apps which include spyware and tracking devices and the rest of modern technology may intrude on our personal space. The many twists revealed issues of lies, trust and deceit. The final twist at the end I hadn’t seen coming and seemed far fetched and implausible. The aftermath seemed rushed and wanted to know more about the outcome which followed.

Joe is a part time high school English teacher, married to Mel, a woman with a demanding career. For part of the week he is a devoted stay-at-home dad to their young son. He is content and happy in his marriage and occupation.

One day he follows his wife’s car because his little boy is anxious to show his mother a certificate he won at school. Joe observes his wife in a heated argument with Ben, a ruthless, wealthy businessman and family acquaintance. He confronts Ben in the parking lot and Ben starts to fight with him. A push from Joe leaves Ben unconscious and bleeding on the ground. In the midst of this his small son suffers a asthma attack. Joe leaves Ben on the ground to rush home to get the inhaler to save his son’s life.

From this point Joe’s life spirals out of control in a frightening downward path. Every time I thought life couldn’t get worse for him it does. Within less than two weeks while trying to hold his marriage together, he loses his job, his friends, his reputation and is in danger of going to prison. Joe suspects he is a fall-guy and victim of a complex, sinister plot, but the police don’t believe him.

I found the suspense riveting and maintained throughout. Joe’s character was a well developed picture of a desperate man. He was naive but sympathetic in spite of a conclusion I found contrived and unforeseen. I thought this book was much better than most domestic thriller mysteries which seem to be a popular trend. I am looking forward to reading other books by the author. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advance copy, and introducing me to an exciting new author.
