A Marriage of Lies by Amanda McKinney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
**4.5-stars rounded up**
A Marriage of Lies is a tense Psychological Thriller from Amanda McKinney. I was seeing a lot of early buzz for this release and needed to find out what it was all about.
After reading it, in a day (!!!), I am so happy that I took a chance on a new-to-me author and have officially joined the Hype Train. I was left with whiplash after finishing this twisted tale of love, devious deception and lies.
I don’t want to say anything about the plot. I knew nothing going in and that’s what I would recommend.
I will say that I loved one of the main characters, Rowan, and her trusty companion, Banjo. Rowan is a Detective and I was pleasantly surprised to have an MC with that career leading the show here.
This also went pretty dark, as far as the crimes are concerned, and I definitely wasn’t expecting that either!
As mentioned above, this is the first time I have read from Amanda McKinney, but I’m absolutely ready to pick up some more of her Thrillers. If they’re anything like this, I know I’m in for a good time.
While I did find some aspects slightly predictable, particularly towards the end, that didn’t diminish my enjoyment. Overall, I found it to be extremely engaging, as well as highly-readable and incredibly entertaining!
Thank you to the publisher, Storm Publishing, for providing me with a copy to read and review.
This was a delightful surprise!
