Never Tell a Lie

Average rating3
It all started with the yard sale. Ivy was eight months and one week pregnant when she insisted that she and her husband, David, clean out the junk they'd inherited with the old Victorian house they'd bought three years before. Call it nesting, call it nerves — she just wanted it all gone: the old electrical fixtures, the boxes of National Geographics from the 1960s, the four black wool greatcoats.Neither she nor David recognized the woman at first. But it turned out that the customer asking about the lime-green glass swan dish — the woman who looks just about as pregnant as Ivy — was none other than Melinda White, a former high school classmate of David and Ivy's. When Melinda was a child she used to play in their new house, she explained. It looked like they'd been doing some work. Would it be all right if she took a look around? David took Melinda inside. And she never came out.Now David's under police suspicion, and Ivy finds herself digging deep into the past to clear his name. But David's history, she begins to discover, is not necessarily the history she remembers, and before long Ivy has uncovered a twisted web of deceit, betrayal, and lies, both the ones we tell those we love and the ones we tell ourselves....Relentlessly fast-paced and disturbingly creepy, Never Tell a Lie is a page-turning thrill ride about how well we know the people we love, and how far we are willing to go to protect the secrets of our past.

Though is a bit predictable with the missing woman suspected dead who at the end is very much alive and behind the whole thing, is fun to see how the story untangles.[b:El precio de la mentira 11249884 El precio de la mentira Hallie Ephron https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1304100655l/11249884.SY75.jpg 4507319] es el típico thriller que no pierde el tiempo en establecer el ambiente de suspenso y va directo al misterio de la historia. Aunque es un poco predecible con la mujer desaparecida y presuntamente muerta que al final está bastante viva y detrás de todo el asunto, es divertido ver cómo se desenvuelve la historia.Is a good, short, light, enjoyable read with all the elements for which I could look for in a mistery/thriller: cliffhangers, fast-paced, feeds you information bit by bit, character development and just the right amount of anxiety for knowing what comes next.Es una lectura buena, corta, ligera y entretenida con todos los elementos que pudiera buscar en un misterio/thriller: cliffhangers, rápido, te da información poco a poco, desarrollo de personajes y justo la cantidad exacta de ansiedad por saber que sigue después.I recommend it for when craving a bit of not-too-dark, not-too-intense suspense. Giving it 3.5 stars.La recomiendo para cuando se tienen ganas de un suspenso no muy oscuro, no muy intenso. Le doy 3.5 estrellas.
