Sinossi
Jane Hughes ha un compagno che la ama, un lavoro in un centro per animali randagi e vive in un piccolo cottage nel Galles. È una donna realizzata e felice, come tante, ma la sua vita si fonda su una menzogna. Perché Jane Hughes non esiste. Cinque anni prima era partita per un viaggio in Nepal con le sue migliori amiche. Quattro ragazze molto diverse l’una dall’altra ma legate da un’amicizia di lunga data, capace di resistere agli anni dell’adolescenza e dell’università, seppure a volte in fragile equilibrio. Doveva essere la vacanza della vita, fatta di yoga, meditazione e splendidi panorami, una settimana che avrebbe dovuto trasformarsi in un ricordo meraviglioso, ma che si è rivelata un incubo. Perché da quel viaggio due delle quattro ragazze non sono più tornate.
Jane pensa di essersi lasciata tutto alle spalle, di poter ricominciare a vivere con una nuova identità, di dimenticare quello che è accaduto, ma qualcuno non ha intenzione di permetterglielo. Qualcuno che sa la verità su quella terribile settimana e che è tornato per tormentarla, per distruggere tutto quello che Jane ha faticosamente ricostruito.
Per difendere se stessa e le persone che ama, Jane dovrà affrontare l’incubo del suo passato e rivivere tutto quello che è successo tra quelle montagne…

I absolutely loved The Accident by C.L. Taylor, thought it was really taut clever fiction, so naturally I dived into The Lie with much gusto and excitement, waiting for that page turning feeling that is like an addiction to book addicts around the world. What I got was a mixed bag of a book to say t Leggi tutto
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life . 3.5 Stars I would have to say that overall I liked this book. I enjoy a wide range of books and find that mixing things up works best for me. I have been reading way too many romances lately so I was immediately interested in this book because I w Leggi tutto

Honestly, I didn't really enjoy this one. Too bad because I'm beginning to be a fan of C.L Taylor but this is just so disappointing. Cult, Community or Orgy, doesn't matter what you call it but after reading this, I felt robbed, you know. I didn't have any idea where the story was going, it was very Leggi tutto
3.5 stars Thank you to Net Galley, HarperCollins UK, Avon and author C.L. Taylor for an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. The Lie is a suspenseful novel about a British woman who is being stalked five years after a horrifying experience while on vacation in Nepal. It is immediately Leggi tutto
Plot based, fast paced, didn't really like any of the characters but don't think that's essential for the book. An ok read by the pool. Two stars.
The Lie is a really excellent follow up to “The Accident” a book I was enthralled by last year, clever and tense psychological thrillers both. In The Accident the focus was on parental relationships and secrets, here with “The Lie” it is all about friendship. Jane Hughes was not always Jane Hughes. I Leggi tutto
