Slow
Struggled for the most part but then just wanted to know how it ended. Didn’t love it. But it was ok

Who would’ve known
This was an exciting listen. I didn’t want to have to stop it to go to work. I got so hooked on it. The twists🪢 in it were great. The final twist 🪢 was unpredictable to me. I really enjoyed it.

Amazing
This was a great book. The roller coaster it takes you on is crazy but sooo good. Every time I thought I knew what was going on there was another twist, I loved it. All of Margot’s clients lie to her which is hilarious because the majority are going there voluntarily. The ending was interesting I think everyone got the ending they needed. Cormac’s feelings were valid, anyone in his position would have felt the same way.

Engaging psychological story
Several times while I was reading Tell Me Lies, former astronaut Lisa Nowak came to mind. Nowak was the clearly well-educated woman who, in 2007, threw it all away to don adult diapers and rush across country to confront and accost her romantic rival.Margot Scott, our protagonist in Tell Me Lies, is a well-trained psychologist who makes stunningly horrible personal and professional decisions. She seems to have little regard for her husband and children until she’s dragged them into the muck with her. Had astronaut Nowak’s past not come to mind, I would have dismissed this story altogether.However, it was a fun read, and I had to finish in order to see how Margot’s bad decisions led to a likely unraveling of her life and practice. I do appreciate that by the end of the story, we get answers about her motivations and consequent decisions.

Therapists don’t act like this.
I liked the premise of the book but the number of ethical violations the main character committed was ridiculous. I know this is fiction but I’m a therapist and I stopped having any empathy for the psychologist about halfway through. I just couldn’t suspend disbelief any longer.

You really need to pay attention
I really enjoyed the book but sometimes it’s distracting when you’re doing things around your house and you may miss part of the story. I went back a few chapters a few times well I was listening to the book. Overall I think the book was very good it’s the kind of book a enjoyed listening to.

A great story but the end was kind of disappointing, it was so fast and short.Anyway I think it deserves to be read it.

TELL ME LIES is a clever mystery thriller with a psychologist (Margot Scott) as the central character. Of course, all of Margot’s clients lie to her but which one seems to be threatening her and her family. The book starts with a shocking scene with Margot pushing a commuter in front of an oncoming train! But how did we get to this point. And that’s the mystery of the story.TELL ME LIES is a pacy read and is perfectly structured so the mystery’s resolution comes at the “last minute”. The writing is straightforward narrative (with a couple of “interruptions” that follow the same chronology so it is never confusing) and engaging.I wouldn’t say the story has any significant depth — it’s a good piece of enjoyable escapism.

There is a formatting issue at the end of this book. It jumps straight into a prologue for another book, and it took me a minute to realise the book was actually over. It was jarring and not the kind of conclusion you want.This story is okay, but it was difficult to like the main character.

I have enjoyed other books by this author but found this one to be very unrealistic. Yes, it had an interesting twist at the end which is why I gave it three stars but I found the characters very annoying and wasn’t really able to summon up any empathy for any of them.
