Welcome fellow book nerds, readers and bloggers. Thank you for stopping by. Today I am sharing my review of Lies at her Door, a great book. Many thanks again to the author for my copy.
Blurb
She forgot about her childhood friend… until his body is found under her garden. Can she prove she didn’t commit the decades-old murder?
Lucy Freeman struggles to find satisfaction in life. Trapped in the shadow of her rock star brother, the thirty-two-year-old craves more than her days at home caring for her terminally ill mother. But her routine takes a turn for the horrifying when a giant sinkhole collapses the earth outside their house and reveals a skeleton.
Shocked to discover the bones belong to a former member of her sibling’s band, Lucy’s worst nightmare comes alive when police suspect her of the killing. And as she turns to her dying parent’s diaries in a desperate search for vindication, she’s entangled in a dark and complicated truth.
Will unearthing long-buried wrongs prove lethal?
Lies at Her Door is a heavy-hitting psychological thriller novel. If you like strong character growth, overcoming dysfunctional relationships, and revealing unexpected secrets, then you’ll love AA Abbott’s chilling whodunnit.
My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another thoroughly enjoyable read. I love a good whodunit! This is no exception. Throughly thought out, researched, planned, and executed. Lucy is navigating the daily struggles of caring for her terminally ill mother whilst her superstar brother enjoys the high life all the while dealing with battles of her own. And to add to all that a body turns up after a sink hole appears. The author packs so much in, no detail or stone is left unturned, each character is carefully crafted. The police procedures and action are all well thought out. You really feel amongst the action. Books like this really play on the amiture detective in me. Second guessing and thinking you finally have it figured, until you don’t. A gripping, suspenful and pacy read with a satisfying conclusion. Definitely recommended.
Like 10% of us, many of my family are dyslexic. While I’m not, I want my books to be enjoyed by readers with dyslexia and visual impairment too. That’s why I publish my thrillers in a LARGE PRINT dyslexia-friendly edition as well as the standard paperback and ebook versions. Don’t forget, when you’re reading an ebook, you can adjust the font on your Kindle to suit your needs. Bright Lies is also available as an audiobook, recorded by amazing voice actor Eilidh Beaton.
I like speaking to book groups, business networks and social circles, and reading my thrillers and short stories at live fiction events and on Zoom. If you’re a book blogger, litfest organiser, reviewer or simply adore books, I’d love to hear from you.
