THE MARRIAGE LIE by Kimberly
Belle is an emotional thriller that pulls out
all the stops. Shocking revelations begin to produce more
and more questions. Too many lies? Who is telling the
truth? Who do you trust? And the most urgent
question, how much do you about the man you married? In
the unexpected and surprising ending, I thought about this
book for days after I closed the cover. I decided that I
would not make the same decision in a similar situation.
Belle writes with strong emotions and grief is explored in
depth. The many layered plot with characters that upset and
confuse will have you on a wild ride in search of answers. If
you are looking for a psychological edge-of-your-seat read,
this one is for you. Enjoy and make your own decisions for
the ending.
Everyone has secrets...
Iris and Will have been married for seven years, and life is
as close to perfect as it can be. But on the morning Will
flies out for a business trip to Florida, Iris's happy world
comes to an abrupt halt: another plane headed for Seattle
has crashed into a field, killing everyone on board and,
according to the airline, Will was one of the passengers.
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? As Iris sets off
on a desperate quest to uncover what her husband was keeping
from her, the answers she finds shock her to her very core.
