Synopsis
Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.
They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.
Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.
But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.
Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.
Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s no secret that John Marrs is one of my favourite thriller authors. I pick up one of his books and it’s a given that I’m going to enjoy it, and his latest book What Lies Between Us is no exception.
This is one dark, twisty rollercoaster of a book. It is told from the unreliable perspectives of Nina and her mother Maggie, and time hops between their versions of what happened in the past and the present day. I found myself flitting between who I trusted, who was the baddy and the goody.
Some parts I expected because it made sense that that’s where to story would head but without giving anything away I did not expect the ending to head in the direction that it did!
This is a disturbing, fantastic, binge worthy thriller and I would highly recommend getting your hands on a copy when this is released on May 15th.
