Thriller Psychological | Suspense
Jane Hughes has a pretty good life. She has a job doing the
type of work that she has always wanted to do. Her boyfriend
is a guy that any woman would want to have in her life. She
lives in a charming cottage in a small town in Wales.
Granted, she has few friends but that is the way she prefers
it to be. All in all, she leads a happy life. There is only
one problem. Jane Hughes is not a real person.
Five years ago, she had a much different life. Jane worked
at an office job she hated but she had three friends that
afforded her a decent social life. One of these friends had
just had a bad relationship breakup and the rest of them
felt it would be good for all of them to take a fun,
relaxing vacation together. It is meant to be the trip of a
lifetime to Nepal.
At first, everything goes well although there seems to be
something weird going on with one of the friends. Still, the
trip is fun until something happens in the middle of it all.
Two of the friends come back while the other two end up
dead. When all of the furor dies down; Emma becomes Jane
Hughes and never looks back; not even to have contact with
the other surviving friend.
Jane believes everything is going well for her in her new
life until the day she receives a note that says "I know
you're not Jane Hughes." It becomes clear that someone knows
her secret and that her life is in danger. But who could it be?
THE LIE does not begin with a bang like some mysteries.
Instead it begins with a slight hook that builds steadily
into the sort of plot that you simply cannot stop reading.
Many stories are woven together in a way that the threads
create only one. Told in a very compelling manner, THE LIE
is nearly impossible to stop reading until that final page
is reached.
Be forewarned that your mind is about to be twisted and
turned in ways that you have never experienced. That is what
makes a good book a great one. THE LIE is much more than a
book to use to pass the time. It will involve you totally in
a very short span of time. Nothing is what is seems and you
will not figure out what is reality and what is not until C.
L. Taylor has taken you by the hand and led you to the
explanation for everything.
I have to say that after reading THE LIE, this writer has
gained a new fan. It would be sad if you were to miss this one.

SUMMARY
Haunting and compelling, this psychological thriller is
perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Girl on the
Train, and Daughter. Jane Hughes has a great boyfriend, a job in an animal
shelter, and a tiny cottage in rural Wales. She's happier
than she's ever been...but her life is a lie. Jane Hughes
does not really exist. Five years earlier, Jane and her best friends set off on
what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, but it
rapidly descended into a nightmare that claimed the lives of
two of her friends. Ever since, Jane has tried to put the
past behind her and lead a normal life. But someone out
there knows the truth about what happened-and they won't
stop until they've destroyed Jane and everything she loves.
