“One Perfect Lie” by Lisa Scottoline
Published by St. Martin’s PressFinished 4/11/17 - 4/5 stars
Let me be up front – I am a huge fan of Lisa
Scottoline. I have only read a few in her
series, but I have read many of her stand-alone books and a few of her
non-fiction books written with her daughter (quite funny) so I’m a little
surprised that I’m only giving this 4 stars rather than 5.
This is the story of a few boys on a high school baseball
team with various backgrounds and up bringings.
They all have their own part in the story but the main character is their
new teacher/coach. There is so much
unknown and questionable about him but I really can’t say more without giving
away the twists and turns of this page turner.
Part 1 has me hooked, but questioning how the main character
could actually be hired to teach and coach at the high school. Then I’m hearing in the news about high
school journalists who unmask issues with their new principal’s background,
leading to her resignation just a few days later. If it can happen in real life, I can more
easily believe it in a book so I continue on, wondering just what is about to
happen.
Part 2 immediately has me rethinking everything I just read
in Part 1. I thought for sure I knew what was going on and what would come but
nope, I was wrong. I had to completely
change my mindset and became even more curious as to just what was about to
happen.
Then came Part 3. The
first half of this part, continued to keep me on edge and wanting to keep
turning those pages but then the second half of this part had me questioning
reality again. It was still good, but
this and the final ending had me changing my rating from a 5 to a 4. I still highly recommend this book, it is a 4
after all. It’s just not my favorite
Lisa Scottoline.
Thank you to Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press for an
advance copy of this book in return for an honest review. I look forward to them every year so would be
more than happy to do this for you again J
