Another good book in the Kesterly on Sea series。 Though I realised reading it that the character of Andee is being to grate on me， she is so sanctimonious a lot of the time。 Kudos to the author for including the pandemic and Covid lockdowns realistically in the story， as so many recently released books just skip it altogether。

Thank you NetGalley and Harper 360 for the copy of Who’s Lying Now。 This book was not for me。 I just couldn’t get interested in or care about what happened to Jeannie。 I had high hopes for this book because it had a book publisher and lockdown， but it really fell flat。 The multiple timelines were confusing and it was hard to keep track of what happened and when。 If you like police procedurals， you would probably like this book， but I was expecting more of a thriller。

This was a good book that kept me guessing throughout。 It centers on the disappearance of a how powered executive named Jeannie and the investigation into it。 Some chapters are leading up to the disappearance and told from various POVs from Jeannie herself to neighbors and friends， and other chapters focus on the police detective trying to find out what happened。It did take me a little to get into the book because there are a lot of characters and they are interrelated- Fliss used to be married This was a good book that kept me guessing throughout。 It centers on the disappearance of a how powered executive named Jeannie and the investigation into it。 Some chapters are leading up to the disappearance and told from various POVs from Jeannie herself to neighbors and friends， and other chapters focus on the police detective trying to find out what happened。It did take me a little to get into the book because there are a lot of characters and they are interrelated- Fliss used to be married to Neil， and now Neil is married to Estelle， but he is also Jeannie's landscaper， etc。 Once you get this all straight， the book will be more enjoyable。 I also couldn't really decide Andee's deal- it wasn't clear to me whether she was still on the police force or not。 Beyond that， the story itself was sound and the ending was a suprise， especially as I pride myself in figuring out the twists early on :） I liked the end too， where it went a little furhter into the future so you know how things were resolved， but still left a couple lingering questions to think about after you finish reading。 One thing I didn't really like was the constant references to the COVID pandemic- kudos to the author for writing it in at all when many others are leaving it out， but the constant references to mask-wearing and social distancing got really repetitve for me。 Overall， I liked the book once I got going， and think it will be a hit for those that like domestic suspense。 I'd round up from 3。4 stars。 Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Who's Lying Now？ by Susan Lewis is a domestic thriller， but I found it hard to find the "thriller" in the story。 Jeannie goes missing， and the rest of the book goes back and forth between various character perspectives and the before and after of when Jeannie goes missing。 I liked the detective trainee， Cara， and wish more chapters would have stayed on her and the investigation。 Andee was also a good character。 If the story had been from Cara and Andee's viewpoints， I think I would have enjoyed Who's Lying Now？ by Susan Lewis is a domestic thriller， but I found it hard to find the "thriller" in the story。 Jeannie goes missing， and the rest of the book goes back and forth between various character perspectives and the before and after of when Jeannie goes missing。 I liked the detective trainee， Cara， and wish more chapters would have stayed on her and the investigation。 Andee was also a good character。 If the story had been from Cara and Andee's viewpoints， I think I would have enjoyed it more and if it were more of a police procedural。The book took a long time to get to the culprit， and I felt it dragged on and on in the middle。 The motive and outcome were predictable。#WhosLyingNow #NetGalley @Harper360 。。。more

The first chapters of the books go back and forth in time， which is not my favorite format。 It takes place in an area where everyone knows everyone else as well as everyone’s business！ A woman goes missing and the community is questioning everything they ever knew about their neighbors。 A very good “who done it” as suspicions are rampant。 My thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy for my independent review

Good story， but I found the style irritating。 I found the way it kept skipping between before and after the disappearance disconcerting; I found it broke the continuity of the story rather than enhancing it。 I also found it disconcerting the way it consistantly swapped between real time events and the investigation。 These two artifices spoiled what otherwise would could have been a great novel。
