Perfect Liars: Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies by Rebecca ReidMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Three women walk in to the dinner, but only two will leave. Murder isn’t so difficult the second time around…
Sixteen years ago, best friends Nancy, Georgia and Lila committed a terrible crime.
They have never spoken about it. But now, in their thirties, one of them wants to talk.
One word and everything could be ruined: their lives, their careers, their relationships. It's up to Georgia to call a crisis dinner.
But the evening does not go as planned.
How far would you go to protect the life you’ve built?
A story based around the lives of three girls set in the past when they are at boarding school and in the present years later when they have married, had children and moved apart. They are forever bound by something that happened in boarding school a secret that they have sworn not to tell anyone about. Lila, Georgie and Nancy at boarding school made for better reading than the adults they grew up to be. I didn't particularly like any of them and because of this I wasn't really invested in really caring what happened.
For me it was fairly easy to see what happened, the who did it was more of a riddle but the ending just felt a bit flat. It was a twist of sorts but just didn't have the killer punch I wanted.
I felt a bit deflated by the ending but it was an evenly paced read which kept me going and good for a holiday read. Would only give this one 3 stars though.
