I go into books without reading blurbs, this is how I roll most of the time. I have read other books by Lucy Dawson and enjoyed them all immensely so I grabbed this because of the author, cover and genre.
The prologue immediately grabbed me and I only put it down when I really had to sleep.
I liked and could relate to the main character Jude, she was a hard-working nurse and had gone through some tough times previously.
I did not like her mother, Lady Margaret, she made one comment to Jude that was really below the belt and if that were my mother, I do not think I would have spoken to her ever again.
The plot had lots of secrets and many of the twists had a shock factor that left me looking like a goldfish or feeling so sad for certain characters.
The book had different timelines which I liked because I got a good backstory of what led to the present day’s events
Overall, I enjoyed reading The Night She Lied, it kept me glued from page one to the end.
