Book Review: Who to Believe by Edwin Hill

Rating: 4.5 stars

Edwin Hill's “Who to Believe” is a riveting domestic suspense thriller that delves into the dark underbelly of a seemingly idyllic New England coastal town. Set in Monreith, Massachusetts, the story kicks off with the shocking murder of popular restaurateur Laurel Thibodeau, sending shockwaves through the tight-knit community and unraveling a web of sinister secrets.

The narrative unfolds amidst a cast of characters who are as complex as they are unreliable. From Laurel's husband with ominous gambling debts to a group of friends harboring their own skeletons in the closet, the novel expertly weaves together jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed in a gripping tapestry of deceit and betrayal.

Hill's writing is sharp and enthralling, propelling the reader through a rollercoaster of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat until the final reveal. The author masterfully crafts a suspenseful atmosphere, drawing you deeper into the murky motives and hidden agendas of each character.

What I especially loved about “Who to Believe” is the characters. None of the players in this tale are particularly likable, yet their flawed personas add layers of intrigue and complexity to the narrative. Hill's bold choice to present a cast of unreliable narrators pays off, creating a compelling dynamic that challenges readers to question everyone's motives.

In conclusion, “Who to Believe” is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and mystery novels. With its well-paced plot, unexpected twists, and morally ambiguous characters, this book is a captivating journey into the darker facets of human nature. Edwin Hill's skillful storytelling will keep you guessing until the very end, making this novel a standout addition to the genre. I wholeheartedly recommend diving into the twisted world of “Who to Believe” for a thrilling and unforgettable reading experience.
