The Marriage Lie

I really liked the premise of this book - husband and wife have a seemingly perfect life, husband goes away for a conference and plane departing from the same airport to a different city goes down. Wife thinks nothing is amiss until her husband's name is in the list of crash victims. Why was he on the wrong flight? Why did he lie?

This was layer upon layer of mystery and that really is the strong point of this book - each time you think you're getting to the bottom of the mystery, something else comes out of the woodwork. Also, the characters are incredibly likeable - Iris and her twin brother, David, Will (despite the lies), and especially Evan who is has his own grief to deal with but is such a good soul in looking after Iris.

I will admit that the conclusion was slightly predictable BUT that said I didn't fully guess it, and I did enjoy the journey of getting all the way there.

This was just a thoroughly enjoyable mystery and definitely worth a read/listen!
