My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Our Wicked Lies” by Glede Browne Kabongo is a gripping and suspenseful domestic thriller. Fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and B.A Paris will find a kindred spirit in Kabongo!

Alicia Gray has the perfect family; her lawyer husband, Elliot, is devoted to her and their two teenage daughters. After a twentieth anniversary trip to Paris, Alicia feels that her relationship with Elliot couldn’t be any better, but as she soon finds out, having everything you ever wanted comes with a steep price. When Alicia discovers that her husband has been having a long-standing affair with a woman named Faith, her entire life is turned upside down. Just as shocking is when Alicia discovers the true identity of Faith, sending everything she knew into chaos, and when a tragic death occurs in their elite neighbourhood, more secrets are revealed that has everyone, Alicia included, questioning what they thought they knew.

The story is well-written and the characters are well-developed¬. I rooted for Alicia from page one (and cursed Elliot throughout the entire novel). Right from the beginning I felt an immediate connection to the characters, and I wanted to see justice served.

The novel is told mostly from Alicia’s perspective, although we do get a bit of Elliot and Faith’s story throughout. The short chapters kept me engaged, and I found myself breezing through this page-turning novel!

Each and every character was seemingly just as guilty as any other, which made guessing the ending all the more enjoyable! The ending itself was unexpected, although it definitely wasn’t uncommon in novels of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed how Browne Kabongo kept the tension throughout the entire plot, not letting up until the very last page.

Browne Kabongo is a new author for me, but she has many novels (and awards) under her belt. After reading “Our Wicked Lies”, I can absolutely see why! This genre is one of my favourites, and to see it done so well and in such an engaging and entertaining way, Browne Kabongo will definitely be on my radar from now on!

I enjoyed this thriller. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning by the characters. They made the story feel realistic and gave life to the story. This is an engaging, fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next. Alicia thinks she has the perfect marriage until she finds some emails between her husband and another woman that he never sent. Who is she and why did he never send them? Someone knows the truth but sometimes things come at a cost. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what would happen next. This is a great thriller that I would highly recommend.

Her marriage is to die for…
Alicia Gray knows she’s a lucky woman. With a gorgeous, successful husband who whisks her away on romantic trips, a beautiful home in one of the country’s richest zip codes, and two wonderful daughters, life couldn’t be better. However, she’s about to learn that an enviable marriage comes at a deadly cost.
Who is Faith, and why are dozens of emails between her and Alicia’s husband hidden in his draft folder? Why were the messages never sent? As Alicia embarks on a desperate quest to uncover Faith’s identity, a shocking death hits close to home and sends her reeling. Was it a tragic accident or something more sinister?
In this beautiful town of wealth and privilege, nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. While Alicia struggles under the weight of dark secrets from her own past, someone knows more than they’re saying— someone who knows the truth will come at a devastating price.
Emotionally gripping and expertly plotted, this heart-pounding, compulsive read is the perfect domestic thriller for fans of The Wife Between Us, The Husband’s Secret and The Couple Next Door.
