About this listen

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide.

Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development...

Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name.

As Gwen and Robert grow closer and she dives deeper into the investigation, grave questions arise. So does Gwen’s suspicion that Robert is hiding something - and that he might not be the only one with a secret.

It was alright. Fairly entertaining but nothing mind-blowing. I did like that it wasn’t easy to predict what was going to happen next or ‘who dunnit’, so it kept me guessing.

It was ok

Well written, well read, but the story was just…. Meh. No shocks, no thrill. Not bad but I’ve read better…

Don’t get the hype

I find it hard to keep my interest in books these days but something about The Good Lie really had a grip on it. I like that it wasn't chapters and chapters of "setting the story up" and I honestly didn't see the twist coming - although I often don't, so that doesn't say much! overall I'd love more books by A.R Torre if they're of this calibre. I also found the narrator really read the book well and I was equally as gripped by her telling of the story as I was the story itself

it's been a long time since I haven't been able to put a book down
