That was it.
Having read The Road last week I dived straight into Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger.
For some reason I'd written the name in my diary which is something I've started doing as I can only visit shops a couple of times a year and therefore tend to forget all the good reviews.
However, this one is a bit of a mystery as I can't believe it had any good reviews. Clearly it had at least one as someone from Australian Women's Weekly said the usual, "If you only read one thriller this year....etc". Someone else said that she rivalled Harlan Coben. Not that I rate Harlan much but he knows how to spin a yarn and generate excitement, create plausible, likeable characters and sitautions. Which Lisa, bless her, hasn't got the faintest idea about.
I'm sorry of you're reading this Lees, no offence but it was dreadful. You repeated yourself time and again, the, "action", sequences were so anticlimactic that I don't know why you bothered and if I had a penny for evertyime Ridley referred toher lovers body as being like granite...

About Me
- beefandcheese
- Despite compelling evidence to the contrary this was never meant to be about either beef or cheese, subjects in which I have little more than a passing interest. It is true however that the fates have recently conspired to find me work at a cheese factory but this is little more than a cruel, coincidental joke told at my expense.
