Book Review: Never Lie by Freida McFadden

 Never Lie by Freida McFadden

  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Chilling Descent into Madness

Freida McFadden's latest novel, Never Lie, is a gripping psychological thriller that has left an indelible mark on my mind. From the very first page, I was pulled into a world of secrets, lies, and the chilling descent into madness.

The story unfolds in a remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who mysteriously vanished years ago. Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan find themselves trapped inside during a violent winter storm, their only companion the howling wind and the creaking of the old house.

As Tricia explores the manor, she stumbles upon a hidden room filled with audio transcripts of Dr. Hale's patients. Intrigued and a little frightened, she begins to listen. Each tape reveals a disturbing tale of mental anguish, obsession, and even murder. As she delves deeper into the psychiatrist's past, Tricia becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the truth behind Dr. Hale's disappearance.

McFadden's ability to create a suspenseful and atmospheric narrative is truly remarkable. The remote setting, the isolation, and the constant threat of the storm all contribute to a sense of foreboding and unease. The characters are well-developed and believable, with their own secrets and motivations. Tricia's determination to uncover the truth is both admirable and terrifying, as she becomes increasingly drawn into a dangerous web of lies and deceit.

One of the most impressive aspects of Never Lie is the way McFadden keeps the reader guessing. Just when I think I've figured out the mystery, a new twist is introduced, turning my understanding of the story upside down. The ending is both shocking and satisfying, providing a fitting conclusion to a truly gripping tale.

If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, Never Lie is a must-read. It's a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.
