Lies Like Poison

Reviews

Kristel Greer

It had plenty of twists, red herrings and potential guilty characters. I look forward to reading more from this author. I also liked how the LGBTIA+ characters were handled as the story dealt with the sexuality/gender identity issues while including it as a genuine part of the narrative and not as throw away plot point.

Before they carried out the plan, one of them stepped in and stopped the murder attempt. Will the true killer really be found out or will Bella go down for a crime she didn’t commit? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Hidden secrets and alliances start to unravel as they get closer to the truth. As the friends reunite, the lies start to build and the truth becomes murky as all three of them along with Bella look equally guilty and have compelling motives to do away with Evelyn. I was intrigued by the strange and complex relationships these 4 friends created and how they splintered after Raven's departure. Three years later Evelyn turns up dead from Belladonna poisoning and the Recipe for the Perfect Murder not far from the body.

I was sent a copy of this book for review. As Raven was sent away to Boarding School years ago and Lily ended up in a Wellness Facility, proving Bella's innocence wasn’t going to be straight forward.
