Never Tell A Lie - Lügen Können Töten (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Ce roman commence lentement, le lecteur se voit présenter un couple, David et Ivy. Les petites anecdotes de la vie à deux font sourire et nous les rendent sympathiques. Cependant il persiste une tension latente, on sait qu'il va se passer quelque chose. En réalité on a le temps de s'endormir avant que l'action ne commence. C'est la critique que je ferais à ce roman, je lui ai trouvé trop de longueurs. Lorsque l'intrigue commence, un soir d'été après un vide-grenier, l'histoire repart, mais un manque de rythme laisse le temps au lecteur de s'ennuyer. Ivy tente de comprendre la vraie nature de son mari, et progresse dans son raisonnement, mais je n'ai pas ressenti beaucoup d'intérêt pour ce mystère. Enfin j'ai trouvé le dénouement bien faible eu égard au suspens qui le masquait. Je veux bien supporter quelques longueurs si le dénouement est génial mais là, un seul mot, déception. A young couple, Ivy and David, host a yard sale with the intention of clearing out their new home in preparation for the birth of their first child. An acquaintance from the couple's past, Melinda, stops by the sale and is last seen entering the home with David. No one witnesses her leaving and David quickly becomes a "person of interest". What follows is a web of lies that is slowly unraveled as a wife searches for proof of her husbands innocence. Did he do it? Do the lies from David's past erode his facade of perfection? The plot twists and turns until the truth is finally unveiled.[return][return]Never Tell a Lie falls into the category of a decent vacation read. The writing is a bit adjective heavy in the beginning, but does calm down to a tolerable level once the actual story is underway. As I was reading the story I was reminded of a farfetched crime solving show such as CSI. The crime was a little too perfect and the ending just a bit too tidy. Recommended if you are looking for a quick mystery/thriller read.
What do You think about Never Tell A Lie - Lügen Können Töten (2010)?
Pretty good modern Gothic. Certainly not worth re-reading, but will pass on to another reader.
