I won this book in a giveaway on kindle。 Callie is a novelist and her husband Abel is in a coma。 Abel was found on a road that he normally didn’t travel on so the police don’t have a definite answer on what happened to him and what caused him to crash。 Then weeks later Callie gets a call from a woman named Althea who claims to know what happened to her husband。 Callie alerts the police and learns that she claimed to see things and had done something similar to another woman who’s daughter went m I won this book in a giveaway on kindle。 Callie is a novelist and her husband Abel is in a coma。 Abel was found on a road that he normally didn’t travel on so the police don’t have a definite answer on what happened to him and what caused him to crash。 Then weeks later Callie gets a call from a woman named Althea who claims to know what happened to her husband。 Callie alerts the police and learns that she claimed to see things and had done something similar to another woman who’s daughter went missing。 Callie begins to investigate and starts to learn things about her husband and begins to suspect her husband may have been responsible for two missing girls that went missing in places that her husband worked at for carpentry and caregiving。 Callie and Althea investigate a cabin and it is later discovered that her brother in law is behind things。 Callie’s brother in law and his girlfriend are in town and Callie’s son gives her that information and Callie discovers he helped Abel with his jobs and when he goes to Callie’s house he ends up dying by a gun shot。 Then it ends up being Althea and her brother all along and they find the graves of three missing girls。 Abel wakes up at the end of the novel and they decide to maybe sell their house。 。。。more

Highly Recommended!!!I enjoy TJ's books。 This one actually gave me goose bumps。 There were so many suspects and twists and turns。 This kept me guessing right to the end。 Mr。 Brearton has a devious writing style。 It's about a woman whose husband is in an accident where he ends up in a coma。 The wife investigated why he was where he was and that leads her down a rabbit hole, where you don't know who to trust。 The police say it's an accident, but what really happened? Read this and find out。 Highly Recommended!!!I enjoy TJ's books。 This one actually gave me goose bumps。 There were so many suspects and twists and turns。 This kept me guessing right to the end。 Mr。 Brearton has a devious writing style。 It's about a woman whose husband is in an accident where he ends up in a coma。 The wife investigated why he was where he was and that leads her down a rabbit hole, where you don't know who to trust。 The police say it's an accident, but what really happened?

3。5 stars, actuallyI've read and thoroughly enjoyed two other books by this talented author, so I was looking forward to this one - but alas, it was a little disappointing。 While the plot itself is well-written and drew me in, I just couldn't get excited about the characters - especially Callie Sanderson, whose husband Abel is in a coma as a result of an auto accident she's convinced wasn't an accident as the police investigation concluded。 The main reason she's convinced is that she was told by 3。5 stars, actuallyI've read and thoroughly enjoyed two other books by this talented author, so I was looking forward to this one - but alas, it was a little disappointing。 While the plot itself is well-written and drew me in, I just couldn't get excited about the characters - especially Callie Sanderson, whose husband Abel is in a coma as a result of an auto accident she's convinced wasn't an accident as the police investigation concluded。 The main reason she's convinced is that she was told by a "psychic" named Althea that he drove into a tree while trying to get away from someone。Honestly, I'm not opposed to the notion that there are folks who "see" things others don't, but Callie's determination to go off on her own despite good advice from people to whom she should listen - i。e。, the police - was a turnoff (the main objection I have to the female leads in cozy mysteries, BTW)。 But not only did she - a grown-up with a college-age son - not listen to reason, her on-my-own sleuthing never once, as far as I could tell, turned up any facts the police didn't already know。 Finally, there's that title thing; all the way through, I kept waiting to find out what "lies" her husband told。 And for the life of me, while he didn't always spell out in detail what he did and where he was every minute of every day - who does? - I couldn't find a single time in which he told an actual untruth。All that said, the story itself held my interest throughout (I just sort of ignored Callie's relentless questioning of her own thoughts and those of everybody else) and focused on what was actually happening。 It seems that two young girls recently went missing and haven't been found - and little by little, connections between the girls and Abel come to light。 Is it possible her beloved husband had something to do with their disappearances? After all, he did go out a few times without telling her specifically where he'd been。 Still, Callie can't believe he's involved, but the plot thickens as she digs deeper, egged on by Althea's newfound remembrances。 Neighbors in the rather remote area of the Adirondacks become suspects just because of something they said (or didn't say); even Abel's estranged brother Garr, who suddenly turns up, isn't immune from her suspicions。 Meantime, the police, led by detective Footman, continue to work the case despite Callie's constant harping about issues they're already investigating。Overall, this is an enjoyable book I think most readers of this genre will enjoy。 Many thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for offering me the opportunity to read and review a pre-release copy。 。。。more

I received an ARC of this book via Joffe Books in return for an honest review。 I struggled a bit with this book。 It was a slow burn and I was about halfway through before it really got going。 Lots of twists towards the end though。 Not my favourite by this author but still worth a read。

Abel is involved in a car accident and is in a coma。 His wife, Callie, receives a call from Althea, who claims she sees visions。 Althea says she saw things about Abel。 The police wanted to talk to Abel about missing girls。 The first part of the novel is slow moving, but then the pace quickens。 A few twists and turns with a conclusion I did not expect。

I was a beta reader for this back in April。 I read it then in two days。 My heart was in my mouth for most of it。 I really cared about Callie and about Althea too。 The constant suspense and the surprises that were added every day。I was invited to read the ‘finished’ book and then to be on the blog tour so I jumped at the chance。 I also read it again from scratch as I knew there would be changes and edits。 To be honest I had forgotten quite a lot, which is a good thing as it was like reading a tot I was a beta reader for this back in April。 I read it then in two days。 My heart was in my mouth for most of it。 I really cared about Callie and about Althea too。 The constant suspense and the surprises that were added every day。I was invited to read the ‘finished’ book and then to be on the blog tour so I jumped at the chance。 I also read it again from scratch as I knew there would be changes and edits。 To be honest I had forgotten quite a lot, which is a good thing as it was like reading a totally new story。It was just as exciting the second time round。 Imagine being in Callie’s shoes – her husband Abel is in a coma following a horrific accident。 Then she gets a call from a young woman called Althea Cooper, whom she has never met or even heard of, telling her that her husband’s ‘accident’ was not an accident。 Someone rammed his car off the road and into the frozen lake。 In her mind Althea has alternative memories in which she can see a box shaped house, a green SUV and bears, lots of them。 But then the Adirondacks is full of bears。And if that wasn’t bad enough, the police are treating her husband as a ‘person of interest’ in the disappearance of two teenage girls。 And why was her husband in the vicinity of the lake anyway? He had no reason to be there。But Callie knows her husband, knows him inside out。 After all, they’ve been together for decades and have a grown-up son。 Abel wouldn’t do anything like that, would he。 And now he’s a soft target, lying unconscious in the hospital。Callie, of course, isn’t going to leave it there。 She’s going to investigate, not just about the crash, but also to clear Abel’s name。 Can Althea help or is she a fraud? And is Detective Footman on her side? Or does he believe Abel is guilty? Another great book from one of my favourite authors。Many thanks to @zooloo2008 for inviting me to be part of this blog tour。 。。。more
