Our Wicked Lies by Gledé Browne Kabongo
5 of 5 Stars
I was gripped by this domestic crime thriller by Gledé Browne Kabongo and could not put this book down. The setting is a beautiful town in one of the country’s wealthiest zip codes full of wealth and privilege, but you soon discover that nothing is as it seems and all the characters are hiding something. The main character is Alicia Gray who is married to Eliot a successful man who takes her on romantic trips away. The couple have two daughters and live in a beautiful house, basically Alicia has an enviable marriage and life. However having witnessed a suspicious moment between her husband and her best friend Kat, Alicia then finds dozens of unsent emails from Eliot to a Faith. The deeper Alicia digs to find out her identity the more lies and secret she uncovers and then a shocking death which could have been either a tragic accident or cold blooded murder complicates things further for Alicia. The storyline flows well and the descriptive narrative brings both the setting and the characters to life which made me feel immersed in the story. The characters were all very realistic and Alicia was a very likeable main character who I felt engaged with. The dramatic plot twists kept me hooked and guessing until the very shocking ending, which left me thinking about this book long after I had finished reading it.
