Beautiful Lies

Beautiful Lies - by Lisa Unger. A fascinating mystery/thriller/romance about denial and the insidiousness of lies and the lengths some people will go to protect them. Ridley Jones, a NY free-lance writer has her 15 min. of fame when she saves a child’s life. But her face on the news turns her world upside down. Opening her mail, she’s shocked by a very old photo of a child with a woman who looks just like her, a phone number and a note,“Are you my daughter?” She discovers her past isn’t what she thought and no one she knows is who they seem to be.
*I picked this book from the “new books” section of the library just because of it’s “puzzling” cover. I didn’t even read the fly leaf. A few days later I started to thumb through it while eating dinner..... and read it straight through to the end! I couldn’t put it down. It's riviting. I had to get my own copy so I could read it again. My sister also bought it at my prompting and she couldn't put it down either. It was voted into the top 50 books and one of the top ten thrillers of 2006 by the editors of amazon.com. A discussion group is on her web site: www.lisaunger.com. After you buy it, you'll want to also get the sequel: “Sliver of Truth” out in January 2007
