11.16.2025 - The Lie She Wears

 The Lie She Wears by Elle Marr

Many thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer, and Brilliance Publishing for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by Elle Marr, with the audiobook wonderfully narrated by Emily Woo Zeller.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Museum curator Pearl Davis always had a strained relationship with her mother, Sally.  But when Sally dies unexpectedly, she leaves Pearl a letter from the grave…confessing to murder.  With the help of a friend, Pearl begins searching for the truth of her mother’s actions—and as she does, more cryptic notes emerge. But these letters aren’t just clues behind a confession. They’re a warning. Sally was terrified of something.  

This book was told from two different timelines and POV, and I was just waiting anxiously for them to intersect.  And they certainly did!  As I would expect from this author, this was a twisty read which also focused on mother/daughter relationships.  There were plenty of suspects that I didn't trust along the way.  Plus, Pearl's job researching creepy antique masks certainly added another level of suspense to the story.  Audiobook narration was great as well!
