"I'm going to kill her. You'd better come if you want to save her." Lorraine-"Rainy"-lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it's a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget. If she's allowed to. When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls' weekend in Vegas, she's prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn't come back to the hotel room. And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe's phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why. What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe-and herself-the only way is to step back into the past. This seething, gut-punch of a thriller can only have sprung from the fiendish brain of Tarryn Fisher, one of the most cunning writers of our time.… (altro)

Boek met twee tijdlijnen. De 'Toen' waarin Summer en haar moeder de hoofdrollen spelen. Ze raken betrokken na de dood van de vader van Summer bij de sekte van Taured. Taured is een charismatische man die ze hartelijk verwelkomt, maar langzamerhand steeds radicaler wordt, kinderen verwekt bij verschillende vrouwen en jonge meisjes. Als hij ook de vrouwen en hun kinderen van elkaar scheidt komt Summer in opstand.

Jaren later is Summer een gerenommeerd kunstenares in stalen beelden en heeft zij de liefde van haar leven gevonden in Grant. Samen met hem woont ze op de top van een berg waar ze alle ruime heeft voor haar kunst. De vrouwen van de berg komen wekelijks samen om te borrelen en zo leert Raine (Summer heeft inmiddels de naam aangenomen van haar moeder: Lorraine, kortweg Raine) de vrouwen en hun mannen kennen. Ze kan het niet met iedereen goed vinden maar voor een avond per week kan ze dat wel loslaten. Als de vrouwen voor een meidenweekend naar Las Vegas gaan, wil Raine niet mee. Ze heeft daar in de woestijn gewoond bij de groep van Taured. Uiteindelijk laat ze zich overhalen en hoopt dat ze haar herinneringen de baas kan blijven.

Op bepaald moment in dat weekend raken ze Braithe, een van de vrouwen kwijt. Als Raine vanaf de mobiel van Braithe aan app krijgt. Maar dat blijkt niet van Braithe afkomstig zijn, maar van iemand anders waardoor ze gedwongen wordt om op onderzoek te gaan en terug in haar verleden te duiken.

En dan blijkt dat Raine niet meer het goedgelovige kind is, maar een slimme vrouw die haar vrouwtje kan staan.

Ik vond het spannend, maar wel wat warrig. Af en toe had ik het idee dat ik hints had gemist en moest ik terug bladeren om erachter te komen dat die er niet waren, maar gewone nieuwe informatie. Ook het feit dat mensen die in beide verhaallijnen een rol spelen soms een nieuwe naam hebben aangenomen. Dat scheelt toch wel een ster. ( )

I enjoy Tarryn Fisher’s fast paced thrillers and An Honest Lie, was another great read for me by her.

I am so fascinated by cults and what could possibly lead them there; however, in this book the reason this mother and daughter showed up was unlike many others. I wasn’t sure what type of cult it was, because it was very similar sounding to many polygamists compounds.
Summer as a child growing up thought her mom was a fool for disrespecting the leader and the man who saved them. However, she soon realizes that may have been a mistake.

Told in two different timelines from Summer’s childhood to now as a renewed version of herself taking a girls trips with her boyfriends friends wives. ( )

4 times I wanted to stop reading this book but I push through cause I was stuck on boat with no other book. took my will power not to throw it overboard but then I have to pay my public library money for fee.

I REALLY wanted to like this book. I thoroughly enjoyed The Wives by the same author, but this book was a letdown. I know I’m in the minority here with my opinion, but alas, it is just my opinion. After reading the last few thrillers that started off with a bang, this one started off slow and boring and basically stayed that way for most of the book. At around 65% of the book things got a little better, but then that quickly tapered off as everything just felt drawn out. The ending was equally as bad. While there was a resolution, it was rushed in a 2-3 page. This book was really lackluster. ( )

This is only the second time I’ve had to give a 1-star rating but c’monnnnnn. I love TF and loved The Wives - but what happened ??

First chapter is ok: my thoughts- she’s building the characters - next chapter - showing her relationship ok. I’m bored still, but hoping it picks up. It does not. I read a little over 100 pages and have stopped. Not an ounce of suspense, edge-of-your-seat, thriller.

Not interesting, completely boring, plot is just. Idk won’t spoil it if others want to read it but whaaaaat?!? Colleen Hoover says this book is a “riveting suspense,” Colleen, why you lying to your friend?

I will still buy any new books by TF. She has the talent, this book just doesn’t showcase that. ( )

Artist Rainy Ives moves from New York City to the Pacific Northwest both to be with her new partner Grant, but also to escape the last tendrils of her dark past. On isolated Tiger Mountain, Rainy struggles to fit in with Grant's friends, a slightly catty group that doesn't easily welcome outsiders. Nonetheless, Rainy manages to cling to the edges of the group. Feeling like she doesn't fit in, she is more than a little surprised when they invite her on a Las Vegas girls' weekend. With some pressure both from the women and from Grant, Rainy finally agrees to go, but, for Rainy, a trip to Las Vegas is more than just an awkward social event, it's a return to the very doorstep of the place that houses her worst memories. When her friend Braithe disappears in Vegas, the only way to save her is for Rainy to slip back into the life that she was so desperate to leave behind.

Fisher has penned a page-turning thriller that unfolds in two timelines weaving Rainy's childhood memories with the friends' weekend of light Las Vegas debauchery until the two finally intersect with Braithe's disappearance. Braithe's bizarre behavior leading up to her vanishing adds still another dimension to the mystery. Rainy is a sympathetic character and An Honest Lie is a fast-paced and satisfying story of her finding her strength and the redemption of facing down her childhood demons one last time. ( )
