It’s been twenty years since Mori, Avery, Remi and Calista last saw each other. As they reconnect on Cape Cod to celebrate Calista’s fortieth birthday, each one hides a painful and devastating secret.
Former introvert Mori is now a bestselling erotica author. She’s more successful than she ever dreamed, and yet shamefully on the cusp of divorce number three.
Remi’s a yoga instructor, blissfully married to her high school sweetheart. On this trip, she’s concealing her pregnancy – and the baby’s paternity.
Quiet Avery is a farm wife living in Iowa. Her life doesn’t have the scandals of her friends’. But she does have a house full of kids she fears she’ll never see again . . .
And Calista, the quintessential suburban mom and high school English teacher, is harboring the biggest secret of all.
These four women are about to learn that one little white lie could kill more than just their friendship . .
Lie in the Tide is an edge-of-your-seat suspense thriller that digs deep into those little white lies that have the potential to turn deadly. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
The premise of Lie in the Tide sounded interesting and I liked the cover picture, so I was excited to check it out.
This story had a Desperate Housewives feel. The four main characters were interesting and I liked their dynamic. I enjoyed that each woman had her own secret coming into the reunion. It was interesting getting to know each of them leading up to it. There was a lot at stake, especially for Calista, whose secret had the potential to destroy a friendship and already destroyed her marriage. When she didn't show up to the reunion right away, a lot of thoughts went through my head.
While there were a lot of mysterious and suspenseful elements, I felt it was somewhat easy to guess at what might be going on. However, I was surprised at other times. The ending threw me for a loop and felt kind of confusing too. I found myself turning the pages quickly to see where things were going and to also see if my guess was correct or not.
Overall, an entertaining story. I feel like it's being set up as part of a series, so I hope we can either revisit with these characters or meet some new ones in future novels.
