White Lies A gripping psychological thriller with an absolutely brilliant twist eBook Lucy Dawson

I read at least 1 new book a day, sometimes 2 or 3 & most of them are so called “thrillers” or “mystery” or “psychological thrillers” and most turn out to be predictable domestic thriller boredom. This one might have at times seemed to have become predictable, I’m not going to lie. It was, however a he-said-she-said set up, so just as I was on one Persia’s side, I’d start to feel guilty, or persuaded to believe the other person. At times I thought each party was both mentally unstable. In the end you’re definitely brought out of the dark, but there is a BIG UNFORESEEN TWIST that grabs you and smacks you WHAM across the face before the light of the truth blinds you! This book is stylistically brilliant. Dawson doesn’t try to over dazzle you with wordsmithing you to death. It’s a great book all around a a definite breath of fresh air in the thriller market! No domestic boredom here! Didn’t want to put it down and didn’t want it to end. I enjoyed The Daughter, but this book blew even that one out of the water! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! This book could easily be enjoyed by a huge span of ages as well bc of the relatable and current characters. To think a song spurred this book’s creation is interesting. I’d like to know the song behind the book.

White Lies A gripping psychological thriller with an absolutely brilliant twist eBook Lucy Dawson Reviews

I treat all books with respect. Maybe this is the first book I tossed in the trash. Hateful cruel and unlikeable characters. None of which are fleshed out. Uncomfortable to say the least storyline. Don’t waste your time. Bloody dreadful.
This was not a book I couldn't lay down and pick up again later. I think Jonathan was young, innocent and
immature. His innocence and lack of experience showed he was intimdated by an older woman. I think Alex
was hurt by her husband's cheating and she chose young Jonathan to prove only to herself that she was still
attractive, wanted and desired. I think Jonathan and Alex each had their own individual issues and their short lived
little tryst further compounded their probleems. In situations such as this, there are no winners. I thought the book
was just okay.
I never liked relationship books, but lately, there are a bunch of good ones out that have some interesting suspense in them. This is one. A husband who cheats, a wife who cheats while in Spain, and doesn't feel bad about it, but confesses because he did, so all is sort of well. They may or may not repair their marriage, but then, she sees her one-night stand in her office and it's who he is that makes the book's plot begin. When it all blows up in her face, there are four sides to the story, and the wife and her lover are both completely believable. So, who's telling the truth? And how does the problem get resolved? That's always the case, but I loved the resolution and the puzzle pieces being shuffled around till they fit. You'll love it. I promise.
Two very unlikable protagonists and a wholly absurd conclusion. Perhaps the people who are raving about the “wow-didn’t-see-that-coming” resolution don’t need narratives to make sense, but if you’re the sort of reader for whom the denouement needs to be explicable, for whom characters need motivation to do what they do, skip this one. I’ve read novels where I didn’t see the end coming, but when it occurred I could see things I’d overlooked along the way that made it work. Here? Not so much. Sorry I wasted my time.
This is one of those stories where it’s difficult to decide who is trustworthy and who isn’t. The ending of this book certainly wasn’t foreseen. I also found both of the potential culprits’ characters intelligently written because one immediately has sympathy with each, but also impatience and disappointment with both.
It is the tale of a young man who brings charges of sexual abuse against a female GP who is considerably older than him. She already has a prior record of becoming involved with a patient, a married man at the time, who she later marries. Eight years into their marriage her husband confesses to her that he has had a night of indiscretion with a work colleague, and she, foolishly on a weekend away, decides that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander when she engages in a night of sex with a seventeen year old boy. This comes back to haunt her and her family.
The essence of the theme is encapsulated in the lines “fascinating that he could suppress or invoke feelings for the purpose of control rather than the authenticity of the feelings themselves. Like all good liars, he adapted his lies to suit his circumstance.”
The story further highlights the fact that power in the doctor-patient relationship is always inherently unequal and abuse of this position of trust is unethical. It’s well known that doctors are more likely to cross boundaries while facing problems in their personal life.
The dark triad referred to in the novel comprises three personality traits narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. They always have a malevolent connection. If you have traits of one you’re likely to share traits of the others. Narcissists have no empathy. Machiavellianism is about manipulation and exploitation of others with a total lack of morality and psychopaths are remorseless. The question raised is whether the doctor or the patient or both exhibit any or all three characteristics.
I have probably read a million books over the last 40 years, mostly psychological thrillers like this. I also have a degree in criminal justice. Due to my experience, I now tend to find most books to be predictable and I'm also able to pick up on the little mistakes that are made. Well, that wasn't the case with this book! I found this book to be exceptionally well written. It kept my attention from the very first page to the last. I don't like to reveal any spoilers in a review so I'll just say that I wasn't able to predict the ending. Also, all the little details were there so I didn't find any mistakes and there were no questions left unanswered. I highly recommend this fabulous book! You won't be disappointed. I'm off to buy another book by the brilliant author, Lucy Dawson.
