ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LIES
PETER SWANSON
All The Beautiful Lies by Peter Swanson is a beautifully written mystery that smacks of Patricia Highsmith and Alfred Hitchcock. The twists and turns are unpredictable, tantalizing, and unbearable. All The Beautiful Lies is a siren that compels you to read and finish in one sitting.
Harry Ackerson is a run of the mill college student who has just graduated. When his father dies unexpectedly, he rushes back to small-town Maine to reunite with his stepmother. Something does not ring quite true. Why is his stepmother so cloying? How did his father die? In addition, what is happening at the rare bookstore that his father ran with his part-time employee? Superficially, all is well, but is it? You MUST read this outstanding novel. It is great.
