LoveReading Expert Review of Who's Lying Now?
Someone is missing. Someone is lying. Who knows the truth? Suspicion, doubt, passion and fear take centre-stage in this captivatingly tense crime drama.
Emotions are running high in the coastal town of Kesterly-on-Sea. It’s the height of a pandemic; an important friendship is in tatters and more than one marriage hangs in the balance. But for high-flying couple Jeannie and Guy Symonds, life couldn’t be sweeter. Until 6 January 2021 - the day Jeannie mysteriously disappears.
Fans of Susan Lewis won’t be disappointed, those new to her books will be sucked right in. This is a novel that exudes suspense, sexual tension and a cast of perfectly developed characters who all have their own stories to tell and secrets to hide. With each chapter comes a new revelation or encounter that has you questioning what you know and who you believe, who you are rooting for and who you are slowly beginning to mistrust. This is page-turning, nail-biting stuff! Thankfully, Trainee Investigator, Cara Jakes, and Detective Andee Lawrence – a much-loved figure from Lewis’ earlier novels – are on hand to help us unravel the truth. The camaraderie between the newbie detective and Lawrence, along with various other female relationships in the novel, adds real warmth to this otherwise bleak world. A world in which the mistakes of the past are never forgotten and negative childhood experiences are woven into the very fabric of our futures. Who’s Lying Now? is a piece of wonderfully crafted crime fiction – but it also captures the very real world inhabited by us all in pandemic times. Add it to your reading list!

A wonderful intriguing mysterious rollercoaster of a book, it’s absolutely brilliant, unputdownable
Wow another brilliant book by Susan Lewis. It’s an exceptionally well written book with many twists and turns with so many interesting characters. The story is centred on the disappearance of a publisher Jeannie whose married to Guy a consultant, the impact that it has on her family and friends.It also makes you wonder how many of us have secrets and what the outcome can be when they’re unravelled and the effect it can have on families. I also liked the idea that this storyline was based during the Covid lockdown and the problems that came with it. I would highly recommend this book as I was drawn from the opening page as it was unputdownable.
