This one was just okay for me. The suspense and uncertainty were fine, but I couldn't really pick a character to champion, so, I couldn't really invest.

My first book by Gilly Macmillan, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, did not disappoint!

Written in second person, the (italicized) chapters intrigued me the most. While I thought I knew how they fit into the bigger picture, a well-timed plot twist proved me wrong. Vivid descriptions of the couple's new house (and new neighbors) drew me into Lucy's eerie atmosphere. Questioning what, if anything, existed solely in Lucy's imagination intrigued me as well.

Eliza's role in the novel is an interesting one! For me, it was a fresh take on the genre, especially considering that the protagonist is a mystery writer herself.

The ending didn't quite deliver the closure I had hoped for on either front; nevertheless, both threads were unexpected. Definitely recommend for fans of the psychological thriller!

Did not see that coming....another great read by Gilly Macmillan!
Lucy is a crime novelist, famous for her series featuring a detective Eliza Grey. Her husband seemingly supports her and caters to her, until he goes missing. Too much to tell without giving away details, but rest assured it was well written with a brilliant ending!

People seem to go missing around Lucy. The best selling novelist’s little brother disappeared thirty years ago and Lucy told all kinds of stories about what happened to him. They were all lies, and she enraged both the police and her parents. Now as an adult, her husband has disappeared. Her husband, who was also an author, albeit a bad one and he was a bad husband too, really. Now that she’s an adult, not a child, Lucy is under suspicion. Did she have something to do with her husband’s disappearance? Ans what about her little brother all those years ago? In Lucy, Macmillan has created a character readers won’t soon forget. This is a thrill ride

I have read several other books by Gilly Macmillan and while this wasn't my favorite of her books, I really enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed at the ending and wanted more resolution to "what happened" (no spoilers). I am looking forward to recommending this book, and reading more by Macmillan. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.
