Beschreibung

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

The novel centers around the hunt for the Bloody Heart (BH) Killer, a serial killer responsible for the deaths of six teenagers in California.

SPEECHLESS. it was so interesting and nice to read. To be honest I didn’t even expect it to be SO good. I would definitely recommend it. The ending was definitely a twist i didn’t expect😫

Ein weiteres Buch der Autorin, welches mir gut gefallen hat. Diesmal hatte ich zwar bei ca 80% den richtigen Verdacht, fand das Buch aber trotzdem spannend und gut aufgebaut.

Wow, I really had a feeling something was off but I would have never been able to see that plot coming

This book was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed reading it SO much, the perfect thriller for a stormy afternoon, paired with a hot beverage and a cat cuddled up in the lap. What I liked most was the unexpected turns the story took. There’s no way to guess who really kidnapped and tortured the boys and when everything was revealed, it left me speechless. A book, I’d definitely recommend to friends.

A quick thriller to get through

This was my first book for the Summerween readathon this year, and it was definitely the right choice. The book has many twists and turns, which is why is was really easy to get through. I devoured it in two days straight. The story is interesting, and thr characters are really spicing things up. The only reason why I rated the book lower was that I was promised a huge plottwist, but I saw it coming a mile away. I mean, with the suspects we had, there literally was no other option. Still, I appreciated the book and will definitely read more of this author.

I had the pleasure of buddy reading The Good Lie with Brandee ((un)Conventional Bookworms). We both had a great time with this book, which kept us both on the edge of our seats. Sit back, relax and read what we both thought of this suspenseful story. N.B: I listened to it on audio while Brandee read the ebook Brandee: I’m so happy we buddy read this! I love suspense and don’t read near enough of it. The Good Lie had me on the edge of my seat, not wanting to put it down. I’ll definitely read more from AR Torre. Yes! Me too. I read a book written by the author before (Every Last Secret) and loved so I was looking forward to reading The Good Lie. I went into expecting an exciting story and it did not disappoint. A definite page turner. Brandee: There were so many loose threads dangling for most of the story. Torre did a great job of leaving clues here and there so that I had no idea how things were going to weave together, but I was DYING to know! What were your thoughts about the story as a whole? I figured there was a connection with the loose threads and I was curious to see how they would all come together. I must say, Torre did a superb job of tying these loose threads together. She did it so seamlessly, twists and all. Brandee: I liked how Torre pitted Gwen and Robert against one another, despite the romantic attraction between them. A chance meeting, chemistry, commonalities in their careers, misapprehensions, working together… it all combined so well and kept me guessing. How did you feel about Gwen and Robert? Interesting how a chance meeting played out perfectly for Robert’s plans. When he learned Gwen’s true identity, he saw the perfect opportunity to put his plan into motion. He never expected to develop an intense attraction towards her. I liked Gwen. For a psychiatrist, she was down to earth. I liked how she didn’t shy away from admitting her mistakes. It took me sometime to warm up to Robert. That had mostly to do with the fact I didn’t trust his motives at first. However, the more I interacted with him, the more relatable he became. Brandee: Without spoiling anything, the clues about the serial killer, the behaviour of the last victim, and the person arrested for the murders were all laid out deftly. I was truly shocked at the reveal! I felt so badly for Scott (the victim) for all he’d experienced and continued to experience. And the suspect arrested was absolutely creepy. I felt that justice was meted out appropriately even if I was on the fence over how some things were done. Were you as shocked as I was at the reveal? How did you feel about poor Scott? And were you happy with the ending? I was flabbergasted by it all. From the identity of the villain to Gwen’s unwitting role and Robert’s actions. I too felt badly for Scott, poor guy. Thank goodness for his mom. Don’t get me started on the suspect. He creeped me out too. It was interesting to see how his actions set everything into motion. It pleased me to see the villain receiving their just desserts, but like you I am on the fence regarding how aftermath was handled. Overall, I had a good time with The Good Lie. A cleverly written tale that is guaranteed to keep reading into the wee hours. Narration Susan Dalian narrated and she did a good job in bringing the characters to life. She provided clear distinctions between all the characters. Her voice and tone made for a pleasant listen. This was my first time listening to Dalian and I would hesitate to listen to her again.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading

Langweilig. Komplett unlogischer Plott. Verworrene Romanze mit eingebaut. Viele Dinge aufgegriffen die als super wichtig dargestellt aber dann nie wieder aufgegriffen wurden. Schlecht recherchiert, vor allem im Hinblick auf das Berufsfeld "Psychologe". Hab den Mittelteil komplett übersprungen und nur die letzten knapp 50 Seiten gelesen - hat gereicht um das komplette Buch zu verstehen und auch den Verdacht zu bestätigen, wer der ominöse BH Killer sein könnte, den man schon nach den ersten 50 Seiten erahnen kann. Nix für mich.

I liked this thriller very much. Besides that the protagonist got on my nerves sometimes with her thoughts of course. The end of the book though??? Could not think of this ending….
