The Liar's Room

Description

A new spine-tingling thriller from the author of The New Neighbors that takes place over the course of a therapy session, in which neither patient nor therapist are who they claim to be.

Two liars. One room. No way out.

Susanna Fenton has a secret. Fourteen years ago she left her identity behind, reinventing herself as a therapist and starting a new life. It was the only way to keep her daughter safe.

But when a young man, Adam Geraghty, walks into her office, claiming he needs Susanna's help but asking unsettling questions, she begins to fear that her secret has been discovered.

Who is Adam, really? What does he intend to do to Susanna?

And what has he done to her daughter?

My Review

This is a book that I was really looking forward to reading. It is right up my reading genre. The beginning started out fine. To be honest, Susanna is a person that I would have brushed off as unmemorable if it was not for her past. Adam was the stronger voice in the story.

In regards, to this whole tone of the book; it is kind of monotone with a quiet psychological undertone. A lot of the story, except for the flash backs do take place in Susanna's office with Adam running the conversation direction. He feeds Susanna little tidbits of information. This book would have been more engaging if the story moved faster with some bigger events. Plus, just having Adam as the only one that I really found interesting did not help. The story had two main characters and when fifty percent of the cast is unappealing, it does not help the situation. While, this book left me unsatisfied, I would try another book out by this author.
