LET ME LIE, by Clare Mackintosh










Mystery/Thriller -- 4 stars



Anna's father committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.  Her mother jumped from the same spot just months later.  Now Anna wants to know why.  It's a simple enough story idea that has been done over and over.   I'll admit I thought, "Oh, another of those dead person returning to help avenge their death stories."  I was planning on writing a review along the lines of this idea becoming a genre all its own.  Without revealing too much, I'll just say I was wrong.  I never warmed up to any of the characters, but the surprises and twists, and yes, ghostly sightings, kept me reading.
