All the Beautiful Lies

by Peter Swanson
All the Beautiful Lies - Thryft
All the Beautiful Lies - Thryft

Family secrets unravel in a Maine thriller.

"All the Beautiful Lies" could be a good read for fans of psychological thrillers. The split narrative adds to the suspense, as readers try to piece together the secrets of Alice's past and navigate Harry's confusion. Swanson's writing style is engaging and the Maine setting adds to the atmosphere of the book.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
