State of Lies by Siri Mitchell

Book Description

One woman is forced to question everything she knows in this domestic suspense novel from award-winning author Siri Mitchell.

Georgie Brennan may be a world-class quantum physicist, but she grapples with life as a single mother after her husband is killed. When she receives a message from beyond the grave, it leads her to question the details of her husband’s death

As she follows the clues he left behind, her discoveries increasingly implicate those closest to her. 

When her father is nominated as the new United States Secretary of Defense, she must uncover the truth before his confirmation hearing—even as the same people who killed her husband are now after her. Nothing is at is seems. Lies are truth; enemies are friends. Even her child is at risk. As every possibility but one disappears, Georgie may find herself to be the antithesis of everything she’s thought herself to be.

My thoughts:

State of Lies is quite frankly one of the best books that I have read  in a long time.  The first night I started reading it, I stayed up reading until 3:30 am.  I was so aggravated to have to sleep but sometimes you have to listen to your body, right?   So, after sleeping a few hours, I got up, grabbed a steaming mug of coffee and happily finished reading this excellent novel.

First of all, I am very familiar with the location the author chose as her setting for this book so that was a happy coincidence but it was the fascinating storyline and the compelling characters that kept me reading as fast as I could. Just when I thought there couldn't possibly be anymore intense moments, Ms. Mitchell proved me wrong by throwing another super intense moment my way but boy did I love each and every single one. I loved the importance of each character and how involved they are in this intriguing story, including the family dog.

This book is a real page turner and totally worth the read as you'll discover when you read the story of Georgie, Sean and their young son.  The things their family experience in this artfully written book will have you on the edge of your seat while you try to figure out what is going on and if things will ever be alright for them again  This book deserves more than five stars and will definitely be on my top ten favorite books for 2019.     

I received a complimentary copy of this book.  Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
