On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly
manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and len's
wenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against
the apple tree in the sprawling grounds of her beautiful
home. She watches her fun-loving husband and darling
children and her heart swells with pride. As the joyful
party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by,
the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a
river.
Slipping upstairs to fnd the special gift she's made for
her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something
else hidd en amongst the dusty boxes of once-loved toys
and family keepsakes..
A silky pink scarf printed with tiny black skeletons
that doesn't belong to her. She holds it up to her face,
breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, its scent familiar
and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf
is stained with splashes of blood,
But as Maggie hurries to rejoin the party and pour
herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she's
en joyed decades of ha ppy marriage with, she catches
a news flash of the local girl's murder. She stares at the
girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and,
draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it
instantly. She's wearing the scarf
An utterly addictive and twisty read about the complex
web secrets within family that will have you Tacing
through to the mind-blowing end. I you love Lisa
Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Poors, you won't
be able to put this down!

Wow! What an amazing thriller. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a book so much. I told everyone in my household, other family members, and a friend about it. This book is so captivating. We have a family celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. The main character, Maggie, went to the attic. She was looking at old stuff. She remembered the old days. Until suddenly she discovered a bloody scarf that wasn't hers. She smelled strongly of foreign perfume. In the meantime, the body of a young girl was fished out. Does that bloody scarf have anything to do with it? Our heroine is broken. She suspects that her husband is behind this murder. What else will Maggie discover? Is she right to suspect her husband?
Have more than halfway through the book, I felt who the murderer of 22-year-old Amelie Fox was. I couldn't wait to find out who the killer was. Was I right?
Reading "The lie in our marriage" I literally felt the terror of the main character. She didn't know what to do in this situation. Should she report to the police?
What she did shocked me deeply. Tears ran down my face. I couldn't control myself. Mother, what the author Anna-Lou Weatherley has done to me. I didn't expect that. I didn't know I would react like that. Plus for her.
Another hero is Detective Dan Riley. A very positive person. Despite his wife's advanced pregnancy, he works hard. There is no time to rest. He has to explain the death of 22-year-old Amelie Fox. The girl had a lot of fans on the Internet. She was a famous person. What did she do that she deserved to die? Did some fanatic kill his idol because she turned him down? Of course, I won't tell you that. I liked the investigation Detective Dan was doing. He was running an investigation that had a lot of pieces. Literally, like a puzzle piece. Did he solve the case? The case is not as simple as it looks.
This was my first encounter with this author's work. And I know it won't be the last. I liked her characters. As I read, I laughed and cried. I experienced a lot of different emotions. The ending made me burst into tears.
If you like strong and suspenseful thrillers, be sure to read "The lie in our marriage".
Fast-paced action, an interesting plot, wonderful characters and a tear-inducing ending make this book impossible to pass by indifferently.
I wholeheartedly recommend, mommy_and_books.
