Review: The Perfect Lie

The Perfect Lie by Adam Croft
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say about THE PERFECT LIE? What can I say about Adam Croft? Not the first book of his that I read, and certainly will not be the last. I started this book thinking “He’s a great author, this should be good” Well, it wasn’t good – it was great! The fact that I read it in two days shows that I could not put it down, I ignored a lot of housework, read into the night, and dragged my Kindle with me wherever I went so I can get a chance to continue this story.
Amy Walker has a husband and two young sons and everything is great. Until she is arrested one afternoon for killing her father in law.

But she didnt do it. How could she? She was home all morning (alone) while hubby and the boys were at football. And the following pages show how the odds are stacked up against her…until she is in jail, no bail and looking at weeks ahead of her until her trial.

At first I didn’t think the court appointed lawyer was really a help. But then things got interesting. You see the book flashes back 18 years to her friendship with Gregg and her involvement with her boyfriend, Lewis. To that day when Hannah Shaw was killed by Lewis…who spent 18 years in jail for a crime he did not commit.

And that’s all I’m saying because the rest will surprise you because there is such a thing as THE PERFECT LIE.
