This was a wonderful novel that I had a great time reading. The way the writer depicted the characters will strike a chord with many of the readers, and the story will draw everybody in. Highly recommend this novel.

Three women live in the same apartment complex, but with very different lives. Everyone has a secret, ranging from the benign to misguided. The characters are all well done, as you can definitely identify with one or more. One is wholly unlikeable, but she adds to the mix. The owner of the building has recently passed, and in the midst of their own secrets, they're facing whether their home will remain standing, or if the owner's son will sell. To top it all off, someone ends up at the bottom of the stairs. This was a quick, but really interesting book, and I highly recommend Lie, Lie Again. Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for this e-ARC of another winner. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. It seemed to pack a big punch in a short amount of time. The characters were well developed and the plot had a little of everything. Very enjoyable read

A bit slower paced than I was anticipating, based on the description. I was hoping for more action but it was drawn out. Sylvia's character had the most substance, where Embry was more of the typical mom character.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

‘Lie, Lie Again’ was such a fantastic read! Set in an apartment complex, we follow Embry, Sylvia and Riki as they deal with their own secrets as well as uniting to stop the complex being sold. Despite their best efforts to keep their secrets hidden a body ends up at the bottom of the stairs...
This was not what I expected and I loved it! I thought this would be a fast paced thriller but it was a really slow paced, character focused narrative with enough mystery to keep you reading on. Of the three women, I enjoyed Sylvia’s story the most as it had the most twists and drama. I guessed who the body was, I think most people will, but I was surprised by how it came to be at the bottom of the stairs. The writing was very descriptive and really brought the story to life. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy a slower paced mystery that’s more literary fiction than thriller. Looking forward to reading some other novels by this author, one of my favourite reads so far this year.
