Where the Truth Lies
A picture-perfect couple's sordid past threatens to rock a sleepy southern town to its core.
Told in alternating timelines and inspired by real events, this multi-POV thriller explores toxic masculinity, gender-based violence, and female rage in the tradition of Darby Kane.
Childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda seem to have the perfect marriage, the child they always wanted, and even the white picket fence. But fifteen years ago, the couple came very close to losing everything. When outsider Jennifer Moore arrived in their tight-knit Kentucky town, a brief but explosive affair between the newcomer and the soon-to-be-married Rhett stirred up a violent storm of betrayal that ended with a dead body and a mystery riddled in corruption and deception.
Now, new evidence has surfaced-including an eyewitness who places Rhett at the scene of the brutal crime. Soon, the carefully constructed life Rhett and Lucinda built starts to crumble-and the truth waiting beneath the surface could destroy them both.
In a town steeped in deadly southern charm, secrets don't fade-they fester.
From the authors of The Lake of Lost Girls comes a chilling domestic suspense that will leave you desperate to uncover the truth.

Presented in alternating timelines, readers gather the story of Rhett and Lucy and the fateful night 15 years ago when a girl named Jenn was found murdered.
As far as thrillers go, this one felt pretty run of the mill. The imagery is vivid and there’s enough of a mystery to keep readers curious, especially in the first half, but this is around the time where my patience grew thin and my attention wavered. The constant jump between non-linear timelines and POV gave me whiplash and presented the story in a way that left things feeling jumbled rather than cohesive. This is a book that I would recommend more for those who enjoy the young adult dramas and thrillers. Thank you Crooked Lane Books for the early copy. Pub date Mar 24 2026

Thank you Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley for my gifted copy of Where the Truth Lies by Katherine Greene all opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this one! It was a slow burning mystery thriller that kept me on my toes until the end. Though it was a slow burn I did not feel like it dragged on it still kept my attention the entire time. I love this authors writing due to it being so immersive and addicting. I did not want to put this one down until I was finished and found myself staying up past my bedtime to do so!
Rhett and Lucinda have been together forever. Now married with a child they were once young and in love and they thought nothing would break their bond once they buried a secret from over 15 years ago. Told in alternating timelines of past and present when these characters met find out what really happened among the young people in this town. The past has come back to haunt the couple, their marriage, and everyone around them. The truth always comes out they say and the truth can only be hidden for so long.
This was a chilling domestic suspense with so many layers. It covered a lot of important topics in college romance relationships as well as adult marriages and relationships. I really enjoyed how the author was able to give us the characters POV from their young self and their present day adult self. I definitely recommend this one.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the ARC - this one will be available 3/24!!
I devoured KG's last book. It immediately made her an auto buy author for me. When I saw this ARC hit NetGalley I hit that request button faster than I took my next breath!!!!
This particular book was on track to be the same... it was one of those books that completely pulled me in from the start. The pacing was great, the tension kept building, and I honestly found myself thinking about it whenever I wasn’t reading. It’s the kind of story that makes you say “okay, just one more chapter” and then suddenly it’s way later than you planned.
That said… the ending didn’t quite stick the landing for me. After being so invested and engaged for most of the book, the conclusion felt a little underwhelming and not as satisfying as I’d hoped. It wasn’t bad, just not on the same level as the rest of the story.
Overall, I still had a really fun time with this one and would recommend it if you like fast paced, engaging reads... just be prepared that the ending might not fully deliver on all that buildup that you may be expecting. I'd definitely still recommend picking this up and trying it for yourself for sure!

In a quiet Kentucky town where reputations are carefully polished and secrets are buried just as meticulously, Lucinda and Rhett appear to have the perfect life. But perfection is a performance, and theirs has been rehearsed for years. Fifteen years earlier, a young woman named Jennifer Moore drifted into town and became entangled in a dangerous web of desire, betrayal, and obsession. When she died, the truth died with her... or so everyone believed. Now, new evidence surfaces that threatens to expose what really happened to Jennifer, placing Rhett at the center of long buried suspicions. As the past begins to claw its way back into the present, cracks form in Lucinda and Rhett's carefully controlled life.
I went into this one expecting a twisty, domestic thriller, but this book leans way darker than I had expected! The dual timelines pull you back and forth so smoothly that it never feels like you get your footing, and with every twist you just feel the rug being pulled out from underneath you. I honestly didn't know who to root for. Every character is messy in the most frustrating but human way. But the men in this book? Awful, all of them! Rhett in particular was absolutely infuriating. His POV felt like reading the diary of an entitled and whiny man baby, and I absolutely hated him. But I guess credit where credit is due, it probably means it was written very effectively! Rhett and Lucinda's perfect life is built on rot, and watching it crack open layer by layer was addictive and uncomfortable. This is one of those novels where you're not rooting for anyone but still absolutely devour the story, watching it all burn and needing to know how it ends!
Thank you to NetGalley, Katherine Greene, and Crooked Lane Books for both the eARC and the physical copy!

I really enjoyed The Lake of Lost Girls, so I jumped at the chance to read this one! 🙌
This was a solid domestic thriller with some good twists! Some were predictable but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the read. I will say that a few of the characters are completely unlikable (I’m especially looking at you, Rhett) and there is plenty of toxic masculinity to go around. Overall I enjoyed the read though! 👏

Rating - DNF
Thoughts - Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and Crooked Lane Books for this gifted ARC in exchange for my honest review.
In a quiet Kentucky town, the seemingly perfect life of childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda begins to unravel when new evidence resurfaces from a deadly scandal in their past. Fifteen years earlier, Rhett’s affair with an outsider ended in violence, leaving behind a web of secrets, corruption, and a suspicious death. As long-buried truths come to light, their carefully built life threatens to collapse under the weight of betrayal and deception.
I got to 50% of the book and I kept putting it down because all I was reading was about a messy marriage between two people who can't stand each other. I keep thinking, yes, this woman was wronged, but then why did she marry him instead of focusing on the murder. Also, the toxic masculinity, which I know is meant to make characters insufferable was too much. I had no desire to continue reading this book and chose to DNF.

In Katherine Greene's latest Southern domestic murder thriller, WHERE THE TRUTH LIES, an idyllic life enjoyed by a seemingly perfect couple is turned upside down by the chilling resurgence of a haunting 15-year-old cold case.
As the narrative deftly weaves between the past and present through dual timelines, readers are drawn into a web of suspense and intrigue that tightens with each chapter, ensnaring them until the very last page is turned.
The story's atmospheric Southern setting amplifies the tension, making it a gripping read that explores the intricate connections between love, secrets, and the shadows of the past.
Highlights...
My thoughts....
WHERE THE TRUTH LIES is moody and claustrophobic, with the small town setting making the secrets feel like they are closing in. Full of deception and intensity, it is both gritty and dark, and has all the Southern Gothic vibes.
The pacing keeps you on edge as the 15-year-old cold case slowly unravels. The characters are driven by obsession, grudges, and revenge. The setting has a feel of chilling and malice as the novel explores the toxic core within the picture-perfect couple who have a sordid past.
The author does a great job with the characters and their internal struggles and guilt with the multi-POVs. Fern River, Kentucky, is a sleepy town with darker undercurrents, with a contrast of the outward facade, picture perfect against the violent storm of betrayal and darkness.
Characters...
~Lucinda (Lucy) Clark, Rhett’s wife and childhood sweetheart. She is a central POV character who fiercely protects her family's "white picket fence" image, even as evidence against her husband surfaces.
~Rhett Clark Lucinda's husband. He is a well-liked resident of Fern River whose life begins to crumble when an eyewitness places him at a 15-year-old crime scene.
~The Victim: Jennifer (Jenn) Moore: A teenage "outsider" who moved to the small Kentucky town 15 years prior. Her brief but "explosive" affair with Rhett just before his wedding set off the chain of events leading to her brutal murder.
Supporting Roles...
~Lucinda’s Father: An influential figure in town who used his power to protect
~The Eyewitness: A new character who comes forward in the present day, providing the testimony that leads to an arrest.
Themes...
~The Facade of Perfection
~Female Rage
~Small-Town Corruption.
~Toxic Masculinity & Betrayal
~The Persistence of the Past
~Class and "Outsider" Status
Ultimately, the book warns that secrets have a shelf life, and when they finally break, they destroy far more than just the original lie.
Recs...
If you enjoyed the small-town secrets and high-stakes marriage drama in "Where the Truth Lies," you might like these domestic thrillers that similarly explore cold cases, protective family dynamics, and the unraveling of "perfect" lives.

Childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda Clark live a seemingly ideal life in a tight-knit Kentucky town with their child and a white picket fence.
Fifteen years ago, just before their wedding, Rhett had a brief but explosive affair with an outsider named Jennifer (Jenn) Moore.
Shortly after the affair, Jenn Moore was found bludgeoned to death. At the time, Lucinda’s influential father intervened to protect the couple from suspicion.
In the present day, a new eyewitness comes forward, placing Rhett at the scene of the crime, leading to his arrest.
The story is told through multiple points of view, toggling between the night of the murder and the present-day crumbling of the Clarks' marriage.
As the investigation deepens, it explores whether Rhett committed the crime or if Lucinda took desperate measures to protect her future.

Where the Truth Lies follows Rhett and Lucinda, a picture perfect couple whose seemingly perfect life in a small Kentucky town hides a dark past. Fifteen years earlier, an affair between Rhett and a newcomer named Jennifer Moore sparked betrayal and violence that ended with a dead body and a mystery full of corruption. When new evidence surfaces placing Rhett at the scene, the life they carefully built begins to unravel as long buried secrets come back to haunt them.
I really enjoyed this emotional rollercoaster of a book. The small town setting, secrets, affairs, and deception made it such a great read. I loved the alternating timelines and multiple POVs that were easy to follow. It was a bit of a slow burn for me, but the ending completely paid off with twists I did not see coming. The audiobook was also really well done and the narrators brought the story and characters to life. This book made you trust absolutely no one!

I FINALLY got to read a Katherine Greene book. This was so good and so unexpected.
Rhett and Lucinda are clearly not as happily married as they want everyone around them to believe and a long ago tragedy from the past is about to undo them both.
Throughout this whole book you’re looking for the truth. You start to see it in small cracks and small implications and then just as quickly you question your own mind.
This book was unexpected in the sense that it dealt with themes that I did NOT see coming. There was control, abuse, assault…. It definitely went dark.
This book evoked all kinds of emotions and thoughts so while I didn’t agree with how it ended for some of the characters, it was so thought-provoking that it earned all the stars!

Rhett and Lucina have a seemingly perfect life. But fifteen years ago, they came close to losing everything. When newcomer Jennifer Moore came to their small town, her affair with Rhett had a deadly ending. Now, new evidence (including an eye witness who places Rhett at the scene of the crime) has just come to light…
I loved this author’s previous book, The Lake of Lost Girls, so I was thrilled to get the opportunity to read this! Told in dual timelines, and from multiple points of view, this domestic thriller filled with southern charm quickly drew me in. Rhett was not my favorite MMC, but I did really feel for both Lucinda and Jennifer. The small town setting somehow added to this too - in a small town where everyone knows everyone, it was easy to feel sympathy for these women as they were both lied to. Greene carefully explored feminine rage and just the lengths one would go to when pushed to their limits. The pacing was perfect too - it was fast and kept me locked in.

I've read all of Katherine Greene's books, so I jumped at the chance to listen to the audiobook. WHERE THE TRUTH LIES is one twisty story. It's fast paced and pretty much consumed my day. I like surprise endings and it had a good one. I would say that this is my favorite book of her’s to date. I'd highly recommend it if you want a good thriller that keeps you guessing.

Wow, what a wild, twisted ride of secrets and lies.
Rhett and Lucinda’s “perfect” life is anything but that. Once the past starts bleeding through, that picture perfect mask cracks, and everything becomes so messy and dark. The alternating timelines and shifting POVs build such tension that every reveal felt like a punch to the gut. This one isn’t pretty, it is layered and emotional.
If you crave domestic suspense with deep secrets, messy relationships, and twists…this one hits HARD.

MY RATING: 4.25/5⭐
(Rounded Down To 4⭐)
Happy Pub Day to Where The Truth Lies from Katherine Greene! After reading this writing duo's debut, The Lake of Lost Girls, I couldn't wait to get my hands on their next book. This book was a twisty domestic thriller, a 'small town, big secrets' kind-of read, in which it seemed all of the characters were in a competition to see who had the biggest and darkest secrets.
This story was told from multiple POVs in the past and present. Rhett & Lucinda were high-school sweethearts who've been married for years now, with a daughter and good reputations in their community. But the past timeline includes a new girl in town, Jenn, who seemed to have caused quite a stir when she came to town all those years ago -- especially because she was the victim of an unsolved murder. What secrets have Rhett & Lucinda been keeping about their past connection with Jenn, and why are those secrets coming to the surface now??
This book pulled me in pretty quickly with its suspenseful story, and its multiple POVs in alternating chapters & dual timelines kept it a fast-paced read. Amidst the undercurrent of gender-based violence, I really appreciated that Jenn's character was more than just a victim -- we actually got really good character development with her that helped to balance out the despicability of some of these other dirtball characters.
In a shocking turn of events, I have to be honest and say that I DID actually predict a couple of the big twists pretty early on. Believe me, I'm just as surprised as you are that I guessed correctly for once, but it did leave me a little bummed out that I didn't get that big shock moment in this book. I also felt like this book had a sort-of YA-thriller vibe to it compared to their debut novel. Maybe that was just me, but the emotional immaturity in some of the characters made the book feel young to me.
All in all, Claire and Abbi (the duo that comprises author Katherine Greene) have reaffirmed my love of their work with this book. If they write it, I'll be one of the first in line to read it. Be sure you grab a copy of Where The Truth Lies today, and while you're at it, add The Lake of Lost Girls to your cart too. [You can thank me later]

This book pulled me in pretty quickly with its suspenseful story, and its multiple POVs in alternating chapters & dual timelines kept it a fast-paced read. Amidst the undercurrent of gender-based violence, I really appreciated that Jenn's character was more than just a victim -- we actually got really good character development with her that helped to balance out the despicability of some of these other dirtball characters.
In a shocking turn of events, I have to be honest and say that I DID actually predict a couple of the big twists pretty early on. Believe me, I'm just as surprised as you are that I guessed correctly for once, but it did leave me a little bummed out that I didn't get that big shock moment in this book. I also felt like this book had a sort-of YA-thriller vibe to it compared to their debut novel. Maybe that was just me, but the emotional immaturity in some of the characters made the book feel young to me.
All in all, Claire and Abbi (the duo that comprises author Katherine Greene) have reaffirmed my love of their work with this book. If they write it, I'll be one of the first in line to read it. Be sure you grab a copy of Where The Truth Lies today, and while you're at it, add The Lake of Lost Girls to your cart too. [You can thank me later]

I went into this one curious how it would compare to Greene’s other book, and there’s something about a story inspired by true events that always hooks me, so this one definitely grabbed my attention right away. This was my second book by Katherine Greene, and it ended up being just as entertaining of a listen. I also love that Katherine Greene is a pen name for two authors writing together, they truly are such a talented collaborative duo, and it shows in how seamlessly the story comes together. I was especially drawn to the fact that it’s inspired by true events, which added an extra layer of intrigue. The multiple perspectives and dual timelines kept the story moving and gave a fuller picture of what really happened. That said, the pacing did feel a bit slow at times, but I will say the strong character development and steady storytelling helped make up for it and kept me invested.
Comparing Where the Truth Lies to The Lake of Lost Girls, I found they both lean into that atmospheric, layered storytelling Greene does well. Where the Truth Lies felt a bit more grounded and rooted in realism, especially with the true crime inspiration, while The Lake of Lost Girls had more of an eerie, almost haunting tone. Both rely on multiple POVs and slowly unraveling secrets, but this one felt more focused on the characters and their past choices catching up with them.
The audiobook was a really solid listen. The narrators did a great job getting into character and bringing each perspective to life in a way that felt distinct and natural. I always appreciate when you can tell exactly who’s speaking without needing to think about it, and that was definitely the case here. It made the story feel even more immersive and easy to stay engaged with, even during some of the slower moments.

At this point, I think I could love any book by Katherine Greene. My last read by her, The Lake Of Lost Girls originally got 3 stars by me; but after thinking about the book for weeks, I upped it to 4. I went into this one blind and loved the results!
What happens when you read a book in which you love and hate each character? And how can it be both? Katherine Greene shows us the varying human dynamic through all of her three main characters as lived in both past and present. The human mind and desire is not something meant to be understood, but instead embraced for what it is. This story read much like looking at a person’s social media page- there’s what they want you to see and how they want you to see them, and then there’s the truth.
Told in alternating timelines, we start in the present and experience the love between high school sweethearts, Rhett and Lucinda. But in hindsight, it’s not all as it seems. We have a unique perspective of past and present in both of the “happy couples” eyes. The authors shows us what makes them tick as the story unfolds in a way that has the reader showing both sympathy and rage for each of the characters. And while hating one character, Greene sets up the perfect reasons for any empath to bite onto. By the end of the book, there was only one character left to like …
In an attempt to escape her past, Jennifer Moore is blowing through town when she meets Rhett; who she immediately swoons over. While everything is perfect at first, she soon starts to question his intentions. Did someone say toxic masculinity? It’s almost a perfect storm of outside influences that create a version of Rhett that is foul and disturbing. What started out as a lovable character has evolved into someone unrecognizable. So what happened to Jennifer anyway?
This twisty story was a realistic rendering of the slow and steady steps that escalate to an abusive relationship. It gave me goosebumps. And while I cheered and wanted the best for all the characters, I also hated them- but in a way that propelled the book forward. Thank you NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this ARC.

Woah. I devoured this dark thriller so quick.
This was very much a GOOD.FOR.HER book… but also—holy shit check your trigger warnings ⚠️
Rhett?? Oh I HATED him.
He got worse and worse as the story went on. KG really said “let me create the most insufferable man imaginable” and absolutely nailed it. Disgustingly well written.
Told in alternating timelines with multiple POVs, this one digs deep into toxic masculinity, domestic violence, and a little revenge —and it does not hold back. The tension builds so quietly and then just snaps. I was hooked watching everything unravel, and these people really sprial.
Whew. The Southern charm is deadly, the secrets are rotten, and nothing stays buried.
A seemingly perfect marriage in a quiet Kentucky town begins to crack when new evidence resurfaces about a years-old affair that ended in violence. As the past collides with the present, buried secrets come to light—and the truth threatens to destroy everything.
If you love messy marriages, small-town secrets, and women finally saying enough… this one’s for you.

Rhett and Lucinda are high school sweethearts living in the small town of Fern River where they grew up with a little girl and a literal white picket fence. Fifteen years ago an outsider named Jenn came to Fern River and almost made them lose everything, they thought they put all of that behind them but the past is coming back to haunt them. Rhett is being questioned again about Jenn’s murder and Lucinda is trying to hold it together and clean up the mess like she did all of those years ago but this time they could lose everything.
This one was such a fabulous psychological thriller. Once I started it was hard to put it down. It was definitely a slow burn but it never dragged at all! It honestly kept me guessing the entire time and the twists and turns were so good! I cannot recommend this one enough!

Where the Truth Lies was impossible to put down. From the very first chapter, I was gripping my Kindle, completely absorbed by the twists and turns.
Told through multiple points of view and alternating timelines, and inspired by true events, this story unfolds in a small Southern town steeped in dark and sordid history. Rhett and Lucinda are high school sweethearts who have been married for fifteen years and share a young daughter—but beneath the surface, their marriage is built on secrets.
Everything changes when the past catches up with them. Rhett is accused of murdering Jenn Moore, a drifter who passed through town fifteen years earlier and with whom he had an affair just before his wedding. New evidence emerges, including an eyewitness who places Rhett at the scene of the crime, turning the family’s world upside down.
As Rhett and Lucinda struggle to clear his name and uncover the truth, Lucinda’s family steps in, fiercely protective and willing to do whatever it takes to keep their own safe. The idea that “family is the only thing that matters” runs deep throughout the story—but it raises a chilling question: is Rhett ever truly accepted as part of Lucinda’s family?

What an excellent thriller! This was a Lifetime Movie x10!! The redemption arc for Lucy was 🧑🍳👌 I was so addicted to this absolute page turner! The chapters were short enough to keep you going… just one more chapter! You’ve got the wealthy, well-connected family in a small town, the boy/man from the other side of the tracks, and the new girl who came to fuck shit up and leave.. with some extra twists and turns through the story! Everyone is not how they seem at first in this story! I have been looking forward to this one for a while, The Lake of Lost Girls was one of my favorite reads and I’m looking forward to another hopefully! Get this one on your TBR!!!!

Loved this one as it has all the elements I love: misdirection, love, deception, and death! It begins--in the past--with 18-year-old Jenn hitchhiking and a guy she once loved picks her up. In the present we see Lucinda snd Rhett married with young daughter, McKenzie. As we move back and forth in time, we see all the events that lead to this crazy story of people who love too much and are often jealous of what others have!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

In typical Katherine Green fashion, this tale is told through multiple POVs, timelines and multimedia - which makes it completely bingeable. I loved getting an inside look into everyone’s point of view on things, it was both unsettling and heartbreaking. I did find some of it kind of repetitive and the chapters were long. Otherwise, I thought it was a really good mystery/suspense.
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5

This was a decent thriller about a man whose past comes back to haunt him. Fifteen years ago, his girlfriend was murdered and the case went cold. Now, new evidence has come to light, putting him back in the center of the investigation.
It’s told in three POVs and alternating timelines between the past and present.
I thought the book was a decent thriller, it wasn’t anything brand new. It has a plot twist you won’t see coming and it’s one of my least favorite types of twists in thriller books. I don’t want to say more because of spoilers, but I was disappointed in the big reveal.
It also kind of gave a weird rushed info dump at the end. I think it was to draw to the mystery and add to the suspense of who the killer was, but I think it would have worked better if we knew sooner or it was spread throughout.
I also couldn’t get a handle on the main characters personality and it felt disjointed. He alternated between a mild mannered yes man and a man full of rage and capable of domestic violence. But it was done in a way that didn’t feel real or genuine. I don’t know how to describe it.
Overall, the book was fine, I think people who haven’t already read hundreds of thrillers will enjoy it.

4/5 stars
Thank you Crooked Lane Books for the advanced reading copy!
This book was super entertaining and chaotic, but I was in to it!!
The timeline ultimately made no sense, but I think that added to the overall intrigue and uncertainty of this story. This was written to include some repetition, which I normally find annoying, but in this case did not. I think it added to the story in the way the authors intended! The text messages in between chapters often felt extremely random, though, and I don't know how necessary those were.
I really had no idea who to root for throughout this book! All of the men sucked so bad, and Rhett's chapters could be especially hard to read. His perspective was that of an entitled, bratty little man child, and I hated being inside of his head. I felt surprised to be rooting for Lucinda more and more as the story went on, and I feel good about that allegiance now. I'll tell you one thing -- I didn't know where this book was going at all, and I was holding on tight for the ride!!

Thank you to the publisher for a gifted copy; all thoughts are my own!
📖 Book Review 📖 What happens when every little thing you thought you knew as truth turned out to be wrong? How do you keep going when the good people you never thought could do wrong - let alone commit murder -have you doubting it all…
There is some magic in the air when the Katherine Greene duo sit down in their writing space but it is pure dark and twisty perfection. Family dynamics and our relationships that grow from there are always complicated but Where the Truth Lies elevates it to a whole new level in this small southern town with secrets that will not rest in peace. Katherine Greene once again delivers a captivating psychological thriller with a masterfully crafted statement on the lengths we go to protect our truth.

March 12, 2026I enjoyed The Lake of Lost Girls and see that this book is getting mixed reviews, with some people enjoying it. There was nothing wrong with Where the Truth Lies but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped.
Just about every character was unlikeable and the rest weren't the brightest. How could Jenn not have EVER figured out that she was secretly dating one half of the town golden couple? How could Rhett possibly think that he could cheat in a small town a month before his wedding and get away with it? Lucinda was the wronged one but hard to like. It all just made me tired.
I'll happily read another book by this author even though this was a miss.

Thank you to NetGalley, Spotify Audiobooks, and Katherine Greene for this advance listening copy. All opinions are my own.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where the Truth Lies follows 3 perspectives in the past and present as a cold case is opened back up again. Lucinda and Rhett have been married for 15 years and living a lie. When the cold case of Jennifer Moore’s homicide is reopened, both are sent on a tailspin that will alter their lives forever.
Where the Truth Lies tackles some very nuanced subjects like toxic masculinity and domestic violence. I think these topics were handled realistically and with sensitivity. I was intrigued and had several twists surprise me. However, there were 2 things I struggled with in terms of this audiobook. 1) I didn’t connect with the male narrator. I’m not sure what it was, but I didn’t particularly value listening to his chapters. 2) this book felt LONG. The multi-POV was a good storytelling device, but I think it turned me off that several times, we heard the exact same scene just from different perspectives. I personally jive better with thrillers where we don’t get every POV and have to deal with the unreliability of the narrator.
Overall, this was a relatively quick popcorn thriller for me. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it, so I think if you’ve liked the other works of Katherine Greene, you’d probably still enjoy giving Where the Truth Lies a chance.

Rhett seems like the perfect husband and father, having married his high school sweetheart, Lucinda, soon after graduation.
However, their relationship has not always been picture-perfect. Fifteen years ago, Jenn Moore came to town and nearly destroyed their entire relationship. Then she was found dead, and the case has never been solved.
Now, fifteen years later, new evidence has come to light, and Rhett has been arrested for the murder. But did he really commit the crime, or could it have been Lucinda, doing whatever she could to protect her soon-to-be marriage?
