Lie to Me by J.T. Ellison

Lie to Me
J.T. Ellison
projected publication date: September 2017
3/5 stars

Sutton and Ethan have what appears to be a perfect marriage, but when Sutton disappears and Ethan is suspected of murder, the secrets and lies of their lives come to the surface.

The book goes smoothly between past and present, and between characters.  However, the (not-so-) secret identity that talks to the reader in the first person is both annoying and distracting.  Knowing who is behind the tragedies from nearly the beginning is a weak point, as well, loosing any suspense that might have built if the reader were left guessing.  Ellison writes well, but could not make me sympathetic to her two main characters; they were simply unlikable.  The plot was often unbelievable, and never fully thrilling.  Bottom line is that this is a sometimes interesting, but generally forgettable, domestic drama.
