33 posts | 36 read | 49 to read
Can you hide a secret with the whole world watching?When an explosion rips apart a Chicago building, the lives of three women are forever altered.A year later, Cecily is in mourning. She was supposed to be in the building that day. Instead, she stood on the street and witnessed it going down, with her husband and best friend inside. Kate, now living thousands of miles away, fled the disaster and is hoping that her past won't catch up with her. And Franny, a young woman in search of her birth mother, watched the horror unfold on the morning news, knowing that the woman she was so desperate to reconnect with was in the building.Now, despite the marks left by the tragedy, they all seem safe. But as its anniversary dominates the media, the memories of that terrifying morning become dangerous triggers. All these women are guarding important secrets. Just how far will they go to keep them?

@EadieB Thanks for the tag!

1. Book is tagged that I am reading.
2. It is an ebook.
3. At this point, 50 something percent through, I'd give it 3.5⭐
4. Highlight a book? That's abuse!! No, I wouldn't dream of damaging a precious book like that. Sticky notes might come in handy for referencing later, though I have not done it.

Tagging @kezzlou85 @Enchanted_Bibliophile @Arvena and anyone else who wants to play along!

Enchanted_Bibliophile This one's on my TBR. 3y
EadieB You're welcome! Thanks for playing! 3y

A good evenings read - quick, twisty thriller that keeps twisting to the very end. Never mind a good liar- I don‘t think anyone was telling the truth 😁

I love Litsy. I LOVE IT! I‘m reading so much more now and finding books I‘d never heard of. Anyway, it‘s awesome. So this one was fan-friggin-tastic, with yet another ending I didn‘t see coming. Also love the different perspectives of the characters, each chapter was from a different POV. Did I mention the ending? Flipped my lid.

I'm a fan of any book that includes a lot of twists - and this book was chockfull of them! I devoured this book because I was enthralled with the characters and loved the storytelling of how people react differently to traumatic events. Although I guessed some of the twists, there was enough suspense to keep me turning the pages quickly. A definite recommend! #NetGalley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars - I received an #arc of #TheGoodLiar via #netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This suspenseful book followed three women‘s lives that intersected in unexpected ways when an explosion of a Chicago building changed their lives forever. Nothing is as it seems in this page-turner. While I guessed the twists and one character was a bit under-developed, it was still an exciting thriller worth adding to your TBR. #JPBookReview

1. First praying mantis I‘ve seen was this injured guy on our driveway. He was about as long as my hand!
2. An explosion affects the lives of three women, but someone is lying about her pre-explosion life. (Shhh...I think it may be all of them.) 🕵️‍♀️
3. I‘m feeling in the mood for some great true crime recs. Or any interesting non-fiction.
4. It was sunny and 80!! ☀️☀️☀️
5. In-laws visiting and we are all walking in a 5k! 🏃‍♀️

TheWordJar @DebinHawaii It really was! I am not a bug person at all, but I was mesmerized. I put out my hand, and it crawled right on. Maybe it was just too big for me to even think of it as a “bug”! 7y

Three women. One fateful October morning. A tragedy that will tie them together through secrets, lies and betrayals. Another fast paced and engrossing read by the awesomely talented @cemckenzie1 . Each chapter divulges a tiny glimpse of what‘s to come. You can feel it, just within your grasp, tantalizing, suspenseful, irresistible. 5⭐️

The fabulous #CatherineMcKenzie has demonstrated again that with each successive book her writing gets better & better. #TheGoodLiar is an intricately plotted, nuanced exploration of 3 women harboring secrets in the wake of a senseless tragedy. McKenzie keeps readers guessing until the gut-punch conclusion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full review: https://tinyurl.com/y9tf5zh6

RadicalReader @Djspens what‘s your favorite book you‘ve read on your Kindle? 7y
Djspens @RadicalReader I mainly use it when I'm on vacation, I prefer the real thing. I've bought so many books on it that I either haven't read or ended up buying in book form. If I really like a book I've read on my Kindle, I usually buy the book so I can look at it on my bookshelf 😂 7y

Jess7 I finally win a #goodreads #giveaway, and of course, it‘s a book I recently received a galley of on #Netgalley. Unfortunately, both are in digital form and downloaded immediately to my #kindle or I would be more than happy to pass one of them along. Has anyone read this yet? 7y
Reecaspieces Loved this book! 7y
JHSiess Yup! I've read all of Catherine McKenzie's books. They keep getting better & I think this one is her best yet. 7y
raelaschoenherr @JHSiess interested to hear that!! I‘ve read a couple of her earlier ones. I should dig into her newer ones now! 7y

This follows 3women a yr after an explosion in Chicago. They were each effected by this event in some way.

It‘s a hard book to review w/out giving too much away. There are a lot of little twists, most of which I figured out, but the writing made it so I wavered in my conviction of my guess until the reveal. One thing I loved was these twists didn‘t feel forced or contrived. They fit perfectly w/in the story & w/the characters‘ personalities.

Jess7 I need to read this one. I entered a goodreads giveaway for the ebook... I never win these so I requested a galley of it, received the galley, and then was notified yesterday I won the ebook of it and it was automatically downloaded... so I have two ebook copies of it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
Kristy_K @Jess7 Lol. I‘ve had that happen to me before too. 7y
