Her Dark Lies is definitely a great thriller that I enjoyed and had me turning the pages as fast as I could. This was my first time reading J.T. Ellison, and I cannot wait to dive into more of Ellison’s works.

At the wedding of the year, a killer needs no invitation

Jutting from sparkling turquoise waters off the Italian coast, Isle Isola is an idyllic setting for a wedding. In the majestic cliff-top villa owned by the wealthy Compton family, up-and-coming artist Claire Hunter will marry handsome, charming Jack Compton, surrounded by close family, intimate friends…and a host of dark secrets.

From the moment Claire sets foot on the island, something seems amiss. Skeletal remains have just been found. There are other, newer disturbances, too. Menacing texts. A ruined wedding dress. And one troubling shadow hanging over Claire’s otherwise blissful relationship—the strange mystery surrounding Jack’s first wife.

Then a raging storm descends, the power goes out—and the real terror begins…

Without giving anything away, much like Lucy Foley’s The Guest List , Her Dark Lies offers a great setting for a locked-room mystery of sorts. There are lots of twists thrown at you and you don’t know ultimately whom to root for or whom to fear. This kept my heart rate high and my anticipation due to the suspense even higher!

The storyline as a whole thing felt seamless, at least until the last two chapters when the details fully unfolded. The last few chapters left some holes and confusion there (I still have questions!), but overall just wow! I love a thriller that has my emotions all over and this one was a full on rollercoaster that wouldn't let up on me. Best of all, the characters were fresh and imaginative.

Check this book out for your next thrill ride!

Thank you MIRA books for the gifted e-copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
