Wow! First book I read by this author and she did not disappoint! I had theories on how this was going to end and knew a twist was coming. I've seen the Lifetime version of “Plain Truth”. The last sentence was the shocking twist! I had to read the last paragraph again. I totally did not see it coming and looking back on some of the things that happened in the novel, it did make sense. I will be thinking about this book for awhile.
