Revie of The Good Lie by A.R. Torre

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

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

Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning?

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.

My Review:

4 Stars

This book was interesting. Not quite what I was expecting, but I greatly enjoyed the story concept and the characters the author created. 

Gwen has met her match with the latest request for her consult skills. None other than the Bloody Heart Killer himself. The consult comes at the request of the killer's lawyer. A man who has a lot more than time invested into this particular case. 

With time not on her side Gwen has to establish if the man is guilty or innocent in her eyes. A decision that will either condemn or free two people at once. At what to Gwen will this decision come?

A very intriguing story. It has been on my mind even weeks after the fact. Definitely going into my reread pile.
