All the components for trouble were in place: An elite school, Brooke, a serial cheating heiress with an out of control teenage daughter, Asha, the troubled mother of a teenager, Nick, an attractive, creepy assistant athletic director and Natalie, an office assistant with her own troubles, all come together in this fast moving thriller.
The characters are all flawed and Nick is the one common denominator. The reasons for this are varied, complex and disturbing. As the narrative progresses, the tension is high. Filled with competition, suspicion and revenge, the story moves quickly to a boiling point and a violent act. The suspect pool is not small. Just when readers think we know the ending, the author surprises us with an unexpected twist.
I found THE LYING CLUB to be well written and engrossing.
At an elite private school nestled in the Colorado mountains, Natalie, an office assistant, dreams of having a life like the school moms she deals with every day. Women like Brooke—a gorgeous heiress, ferociously loving mother and serial cheater—and Asha, an overprotective mom who suspects her husband of having an affair. Their fates are bound by the handsome assistant athletic director Nicholas, whom Natalie loves, Brooke wants and Asha needs.
But when two bodies are carried out of the school one morning, it seems the tension between mothers and daughters, rival lovers, and the haves and have-nots has shattered the surface of this isolated, affluent town—where people stop at nothing to get what they want.
