3 Wochen Bis Zur Wahrheit (2005) - Plot & Excerpts
Totally predictable right off the bat. I thought the outcome was too obvious (knowing the twists she throws in on her other books) until the middle of the book when it was totally clear. The end had a bit of a twist, though the "bad guy" was still the "bad guy"... And kind of reminded me of Gone Girl a bit. The theme of identity theft was so relevant and eye-opening in today's world. Glad I read this. Definitely a typical Katia Lief page-turner! I'm a guy, and therefore not a fan of "chic-lit", but I got this book in a Chic-lit Storybundle as part of a "mind-widening" exercise. For some reason I no longer remember, with nothing to go on but the names of six female authors I'd never heard of and the titles, I chose this one over the others.I began, expecting to take a bathroom break (two fingers down the throat) before the end of the first chapter, and move on to the next and repeat the process, but one whole day and all 14 chapters later I was still reading.Take "Gone Girl", add a little "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" unspecified computer wizardry, then remove the darkness and smooth out the agonising twists and you have something resembling "Here She Lies".OK, so it wasn't too deep and the final revelation was a little desperate, but it's well written, flows smoothly and, by skipping over the one-too-many references to leaking breasts, I made it to the last page without ever feeling like I'd had enough. Some time later, I did begin to wonder just where exactly our newly single heroine was going as she drove off into the sunset with a bun in the oven, a toddler strapped into the back seat, no job, no money and a credit record shot to hell, but I'm not ashamed to admit that while it lasted I was entertained. And isn't that the objective of chic-lit?

Knew pretty much what the ending was going to be right from the start and it was ridiculous

Bought this for $1 as a Nook Book. It kept giving a little more right to the end.
