Clare Macintosh is an ex-police officer and now a best selling crime novel author whose books have been translated into more than 35 languages. Her's is an extraordinary story. Having begun with her award winning first novel in 2014, she has already written 8 books.
'Let Me Lie' begins with a young mother grieving on the first death anniversary of her mother, who committed suicide one year after her husband died, in identical fashion - both jumping off a cliff into the sea at high tide with a bag of stones tied to their feet. It's a messy affair and Clare introduces more and more messy characters - the daughter Anna and her partner, her friend, an uncle, a cop who is out of service. Interesting twists with a major one right at the end but I felt it could have been a hundred pages shorter.
Read a crime novel after a long time. Nice.
