Hook, Line And Sinker
Deceit by Kerry Barnes, oh wow what an amazing, heart racing, fabulous contemporary psychological thriller. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down.
The novel breaks down long held preconceptions as we enter the world of a women’s psyche and see inside the prison walls – both literal and psychological. The walls we build in our mind are as much a barrier as actual brick walls. Life deals us a certain hand, what we do with it is up to us but we must remember “actions have consequences.” No matter how much “I wish I could turn the clock back,” we cannot.
The novel is about truth and lies. “Plotting the next lie.” It is up to the reader to work out the fact from the fiction. The problem with lies, is the more we tell, the deeper we go until even we find it hard to distinguish the truth.
