“State of Lies” by Siri Mitchell
This was a thrilling, political suspense from beginning to end and I loved it! I couldn’t read it fast enough! Great characters, steady plot, lots of twists and constant suspense!
I liked Georgie, the wife of Sean, who months after he’s killed begins to question his accident and starts investigating and looking for clues. As she starts asking questions she finds out there’s more to the story than she ever imagined, especially when people start getting killed. She was a strong, interesting character who kept pushing to get answers and wasn’t satisfied with just ignoring right and wrong. She was a great mother to her son and they try to adjust to their “new normal” without her husband.
Clean fiction with some implied (not graphic) sex scenes between a married couple and some killing/violence (not graphic) throughout the story.
Highly recommend! I absolutely loved it and couldn’t put it down!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
The secrets of those closest to us can be the most dangerous of all.
Months after her husband, Sean, is killed by a hit-and-run driver, physicist Georgie Brennan discovers he lied to her about where he had been going that day. A cryptic notebook, a missing computer, and strange noises under her house soon have her questioning everything she thought she knew.
With her job hanging by a thread, her son struggling to cope with his father’s death, and her four-star general father up for confirmation as the next Secretary of Defense, Georgie quickly finds herself tangled in a political intrigue that has no clear agenda and dozens of likely villains. Only one thing is clear: someone wants her dead too.
The more she digs for the truth, the fewer people she can trust.
Not her friends.
Not her parents.
Maybe not even herself.
