Suspense with a surprise ending is what you will get from LET ME LIE written by Clare Mackintosh. I love stories that can grab me in the beginning and keep me intrigued. Mackintosh did just that with this book. Easy to read and follow, she jumps from the future to the past and from different characters' point of view without losing you. All of this is done in the way that lays out the story for easy following without giving away twists that are sure to come.

Anna has dealt with the suicide of both of her parents for the last few years. Now a mother herself with her own baby daughter, she misses her mother more now than ever. Something is not right about how everything happened and she can't put her finger on it. She starts to ask questions that someone does not want her to ask. Mysterious notes show up and she has no clue where are they coming from. Who would want to keep her from asking questions? Someone does and her life is in more danger with each piece of clue she discovers.

LET ME LIE is most certainly one book you must read if you love psychological suspense. Clare Mackintosh's novel will leave you thinking about what you read days later. What a thriller she has here in this novel that will keep you up late at night!
