LOOK CLOSER by David Ellis: Twisty and Twisted

This book has been on my radar for quite some time, and I decided it was time to read it since I was in the mood for a good thriller. It did not disappoint. It’s the twistiest twisted thriller I’ve read in a long time, and I couldn’t put it down. It covers all the thrilling plot devices of a compelling read, such as unreliable narrators, whiplash-inducing turns galore, and “lying liars.” I’m loath to say anymore about the plot lest I ruin it for readers, but the title says it all, “Look Closer,” and that means over, under, inside, and even from afar.

I recommend the audio format, which has multiple narrators. It is perfect for readers who like Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay, and books that incorporate the “lying liars” trope, such as Ashley Elston’s The First Lie Wins and Julie Clark’s The Lies I Tell.
