Lie to Me

 

Sutton and Ethan Montclair's idyllic life is not as it appears. They seem made for each other, but the truth is ugly. Consumed by professional and personal betrayals and financial woes, the two both love and hate each other. As tensions mount, Sutton disappears, leaving behind a note saying not to look for her.

Ethan finds himself the target of vicious gossip as friends, family and the media speculate on what really happened to Sutton Montclair. As the police investigate, the lies the couple have been spinning for years quickly unravel. Is Ethan a killer? Is he being set up? Did Sutton hate him enough to kill the child she never wanted and then herself? The path to the answers is full of twists that will leave the reader breathless.

This is my second J.T. Ellison novel and it was another solid story.  It was a psychological thriller that I would rank as average among other books in the same category.  Some parts of the story were confusing and forced me to suspend belief at certain points along the way which is not a favorite book trait for me.  What I love about psychological thrillers is the ability to twist a scenario to make it crazy, but believable.  Sutton and Ethan were both characters that weren't likeable or reliable so I can't say I was really cheering anyone on.  It was enjoyable for what it was, but can't say I would highly recommend this book to others.
