Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins Australia for having this as a ‘Read Now’ option!
I really enjoyed Mercedes Mercier’s debut novel White Noise- and Black Lies is even better in my opinion. Fast paced, enthralling and emotive - all the best ingredients for a thriller.
Laura is once again the main character, and we see the development of her personal and professional relationships through her work as a psychologist in a prison. A high profile case, untrustworthy inmates, a few red herrings and a fifteen year old tragedy collide in this story with a very neat and tidy ending. There should be trigger warnings for sure in this book, but the themes are handled delicately by the author and I found it hard to put down until I had finished. Highly recommend reading this!
