LYING NEXT TO YOU by Gregg Olsen

This is my first book by Gregg Olsen and it certainly will not be my last. This was one heck of a book.
It kept me guessing all through the story. Who could be trusted. Who was telling the most lies. It had two stories going in lots of places but they connected in a way too. Lee’s story and Adam’s. It was a story of life altering events that will keep you turning the pages.

The characters were ones you will love to hate, with the exception of Lee and Montrose. Lee had a lot going on in her life at a very young age. Very traumatic events that shaped her into the great Detective she is. She and Adam where childhood friends but they didn’t know each other as adults. Until that fateful day when his wife went missing.

What could possibly have happened to Adam’s wife. Who could have taken her and why. All of this is answered for you. This book is very well written and keeps you turning pages to find out what comes next.

Told from multiple points of view you won’t know who or what to believe. From an innocent child to a cruel vindictive adult this story will keep you captivated until the very end. I felt bad for Adam in so many ways. I felt bad for a few of the characters. But for one my heart broke.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good who done it. It’s a very good book.

Thank you to #NetGalley and  #Thomas and Mercer for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. I truly loved this book.

A 5 star book for sure.
