Thomas Christopher Greene - The Perfect Liar review

I have mixed feelings about this book. While I was captivated by how Susannah and Max handled the notes being left on their door, I was never drawn in by these characters. I found myself not quite connecting with them. We, the reader, learn deep, dark secrets about Max and how life brought him to the point he's at today. Susannah hasn't lead a pristine life, but her soul isn't dark. I felt like some things I saw coming, while others came out of left field. I have mixed feelings about this book. This was an interesting read, but it was hard for me to get into it. While I would recommend this book, I wouldn't tell someone to put it at the top of their TBR list either. Maybe you will find yourself drawn into these characters and this read better than I was.  

A seemingly perfect marriage is threatened by the deadly secrets husband and wife keep from each other.

Susannah, a young widow and single mother, has remarried well: to Max, a charismatic artist and popular speaker whose career took her and her fifteen-year-old son out of New York City and to a quiet Vermont university town. Strong-willed and attractive, Susannah expects that her life is perfectly in place again. Then one quiet morning she finds a note on her door: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Max dismisses the note as a prank. But days after a neighborhood couple comes to dinner, the husband mysteriously dies in a tragic accident while on a run with Max. Soon thereafter, a second note appears on their door: DID YOU GET AWAY WITH IT?

Both Susannah and Max are keeping secrets from the world and from each other—secrets that could destroy their family and everything they have built. Thomas Christopher Greene's The Perfect Liar is a thrilling novel told through the alternating perspectives of Susannah and Max with a shocking climax that no one will expect, from the bestselling author of The Headmaster’s Wife.
