I had no idea there was going to be a sequel when I finished the first book. Interestingly enough, neither did the author. According to an interview I read, she said the lead character just wouldn't leave her alone, and insisted her story wasn't over yet. And oh, boy, was she ever right! I was drawn into this book from the very first page. I adored the protagonist--maybe even more this time than last time, and I didn't think that was possible. Lisa Unger writes beautifully. I highlighted a number of passages that took my breath away as I read. The book is full of plot twists, the mystery's well developed, the characters wonderfully empathetic. I loved it! ( ) SLIVER OF TRUTH is Lisa Unger’s second novel. It is a continuation of her first novel, BEAUTIFUL LIES. You’ll understand and enjoy SLIVER OF TRUTH more if you read BEAUTIFUL LIES first. This continuation begins, probably, a year or two after BEAUTIFUL LIES ends. Ridley Jones thought all her troubles were over, but they get even worse now. Not only are there more secrets and lies but one, in particular, sure is a surprise. Who is Ridley’s "Uncle" Max? How important is he and to whom? Did he really die? Plenty of people don’t think so and hope Ridley can help them find him. As is BEAUTIFUL LIES, SLIVER OF TRUTH is both plot- and character-driven. And, again in both novels, Lisa Unger writes in first person and in a conversational manner, as if Ridley is talking just to you. This is the second book about Ridley Jones, it is a continuation of the Beautiful Lies and while I enjoyed it, I am pretty much done with Ridley Jones. All the way through this novel we get a rehash of the first novel, she repeats herself constantly. We learn her dislike for cell phones and why she is a terrible driver, both facts that were covered in the first novel and didn’t really need to be re-explored here. She also jumps forward in time and and then explains her actions and conversations in a memory tense. There were some things that were downright implausible, she does some rather stupid things, apparently she didn’t learn anything from the first book, and despite saying she loved New York, she had some rather unfavorable and untrue things to say about it. As in the first book, she is carrying on with her life and suddenly everything turns upside down. She ends up being chased by bad guys and good guys, can’t trust anyone and falls in love/lust with a new guy, the same way she fell in love/lust with the last guy and that relationship went south. At the end of the book, she doesn’t know who to trust but ends up free and with the guy and although the ending leaves room for another book (please God no), if there is I won’t be reading it, I can’t see this series coming up with anything new. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
