The Lies I Told

For a woman obsessed and a killer in her shadow, remembering the past becomes a mind game in a novel of psychological suspense by New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton.

Twin sisters Marisa and Clare Stockton were sixteen when Clare’s body was found in Virginia’s James River. No arrests were made. Fourteen years later, Marisa’s friends and dedicated career as a photographer help her to cope with the open wound of the past. But Marisa still feels the hurt—and the unsolved murder isn’t the only thing haunting her.

A recent car crash has erased ten days of Marisa’s memories—a black hole leading up to the accident that’s left her disoriented. Every text and phone call from that crucial missing time has vanished, along with her phone. A photograph she took of the river has disappeared. A new neighbor Marisa believes she knows introduces himself as if he were a stranger. And there’s the growing fear that her near-fatal accident was no accident at all. As dreams of Clare and nightmares of the crash begin to converge, so do two disturbing puzzles fourteen years apart.

Putting the pieces together could be fatal. As she struggles to remember everything, Marisa closes in on a killer—without realizing that he’s already closed in on her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Burton’s intriguing suspense novel puts readers in a quandary of interpreting reality from illusion.”—Bookreporter

Great story, narration okay

The story was pretty good and kept you guessing! The narration was pretty hard to get thru but still kept listening. Overall liked it but recommend reading the book not audible.

slow

slow keep with it you either live it or hate it. not really my kinda book but listen to it I hit the wrong button and got this one instead.

Riveted into the end!

Mary Burton is one of my go-to authors and this is another reason why. This story had me guessing and developing theories from the beginning and that continued throughout the book. Great character development, intriguing story, and suspects abound. Definitely a must read.

Engaging, but a bit too obvious

It was good but it was kind of obvious though I didn't see the final twist and spent most of the listen guessing who was "him". Britt's narrator was obnoxious to me too unfortunately.

A good who-done-it!

Enjoyed the narration of this book. The story and characters kept me interested all the way to the end.
