ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Perfectly paced, highly suspenseful, and heart-rending...enthralling right up to the shocking final twist." -A. J. Banner, Amazon #1 bestselling author of The Good Neighbor
Everyone has secrets... Iris and Will have been married for seven years, and life is as close to perfect as it can be.

Grief stricken and confused, Iris is convinced it all must be a huge misunderstanding. Why did Will lie about where he was going? And what else has he lied about?

MY REVIEW:
The Marriage Lie by Kimberly BelleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle is a 2017 MIRA publication.
Wow! The Marriage Lie is an outstanding domestic thriller that captured my attention from page one and never let go.
Iris and Will are happily married, blissful, even, until Will leaves town on a business trip. As word trickles back to her that Will may have been on an ill-fated flight, Iris discovers her husband may not be the man she thought he was. As she peels away the layers of the foundation her marriage was built upon, one shocking revelation after another is unearthed, until Iris finds herself in deep trouble, unsure what or whom to believe or trust.
Was Will on the plane that crashed? Could he still be alive? If so, why did he lie to her? Did Will place Iris in danger?
The stories centered around double lives or big secrets revealed after the sudden death of a spouse has always drawn me into their web. This story, however, did not employ that slow, steady, atmospheric pacing some domestic or psychological thrillers use in these instances. This book charges from the gate and maintains a breakneck speed, but still captures that atmospheric tone that makes your spine tingle with the anticipation, knowing something truly sinister is afoot.
The characters really stand out in this one. Iris’s emotional turmoil is palpable and felt truly genuine. The secondary characters are also well drawn and made a terrific supporting cast.
I had heard good things about this book, but, I never imagined it would be this good.
I highly recommend this one to fans of psychological thrillers/ domestic thrillers, or to anyone who enjoys a taut novel of suspense.
