A large chunk of Monday's Lie is detailed, enjoyable and extremely reflective of Dee's childhood, It serves well for the action later on, but just takes up a tad too much space in the novel. Overall the story was good, but the proportions could have been better.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. Jumping from past to present the first half of the book is really wordy without much action. I never trusted or believed anyone in the story. It was okay, if a little slow to start. Defiantly an interesting twist on the mother/daughter dynamic.

Dee and her brother Simon were trained by their mother from am early age to be very aware of everything and anything around them. She had been an agent and trained them to think like her. Dee`s marriage is on trouble but she doesn't want to accept it. Slowly she realised what had been going on and takes steps to remedy the situation.

Was not impressed by the plot, could have been a much better story if it had of been feathered out more.

This was a one day read. It keeps you guessing to the very end. The story is a series of flashbacks through Dee Aldrichs' life and the decisions she makes. Good psychological thriller.

This book travels back to Dee’s childhood and her present day life where her marriage is in trouble. She married the most ‘safe’ man she could find as she had such an unusual childhood. Her mother had a secretive life and she trained her children to learn the tricks of the trade, noticing and remembering things. She wants to learn more about her mum. She also wants to find out what serets may lie in her present relationship.
Full of mystery and intrigue, wondering what is going to be uncovered.

I AM SO EMBARRASSED ... JUST NOW FINDING THIS ONE ON MY KINDLE/AMAZON. WAS NEVER READ SO NO REVIEW COMING AT THIS LATE DATE. MY SINCERE APOLOGIES. BOOK HAS BEEN ARCHIVED.

This book took awhile for me to get through and I cannot pinpoint exactly what it was except that it just did not connect with me. I had a very hard time understanding where the plot was going and which information was the truth, or useful, or helpful to get to the conclusion of the book. And even when I got to the end game of the book, I was slightly disappointed because it shouldn't have taken that much work on the reader's part to get there. I can't really recommend it as it was too hard to keep investing time in reading it.
