Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I just love her books!! This was a page turner. So much attention to processes which makes it an enjoyable read. Can’t wait for the next one. ( ) YES! By far the best book I read to keep me on pins and needles of 2020! It all started with the hook of a Prologue, that happened 25 years ago. A teenage girl, Eve Knox, is murdered. The question is who could have killed a popular teenager? Enter Maggie Kennedy 25 years later, whom is 7 months pregnant at the age of 40, that is now a police detective. She was Eve’s best friend and actually was one of the people who discovered her dead body. Her father at the time was Chief of Police and now he has dementia, but he was never able to bring the killer to justice. This cold case became alive again when a missing boot was discovered by some kids that was actually one of Eve’s missing boots at the time of the murder. Of course, Maggie must be the detective to lead this case, since it was her best friend. With forensic technology so advanced they hope there might be old DNA that would lead them to the killer. The host of potential subjects is daunting. You have Eve’s sister, who has always been the town “creepy weirdo scientist”. She is now a Vet, a disgusting hoarder and has a unique hidden hobby of collecting bones. Eve’s boyfriend, whom she broke up with the day before, was physically abusive. There is a town creeper and a pedophile that are all thrown into the mixture of whodunnit? The story, goes back and forth, from 1995 to 2020. Can Maggie figure out the killer, even though her dad spent years trying to figure it out, to no avail? Just when you think you figure out who the killer was, nope the twists and turns keep coming, leaving you hanging on every word. An unputdownable book, that will stay with me for awhile! That is the making of a great thriller. Go get a copy now! Thank you @Heather Gudenkauf For writing this fabulous book. Thanks to #NetGalley for allowing me to read #ThisIsHowILied in exchange for my honest review. I loved the alternating narratives and timelines in this high-tension story set in small-town Iowa. Detective Maggie O’Keefe re-investigates a 25-year-old cold case that she should never have been assigned to because the victim was her best friend. Despite that glaring conflict of interest, Maggie perseveres through personal threats and unsettling revelations of long-buried secrets. This is a story full of unexpected turns & twists that will keep you reading straight through to the shocking ending. Maggie Kennedy-O'Keefe is a police officer who lost her childhood best friend 25 years ago to a murder. Now, new evidence could finally reveal who did it. The list of suspects is short but a good argument can be made for every single one to have done it. Just as the reader seems to get a grasp of who did it, the author pulls the rug out from under us and sends us down a switchback road that leaves your head spinning. I throughly enjoyed this story and it was my first time experiencing this author's work. I look forward to reading many more books from Ms. Gudenkauf. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
