The ending wrapped things up pretty well but did little to change my mind about the entirety of the book. So many puzzle pieces...and I just simply wasn't able to put them together. T.M. Logan clearly deserves some kudos. This is only my second of his books, but I definitely preferred this to 29 Seconds. Joe is an incredible character. He has so much love to give and such a pure heart. Even when faced with a mountain of lies, Joe wants to believe the best in Mel. Joe is almost too good for the outside world. He always tries to do what is right. When he lies, it is because he truly thinks he is protecting someone he loves. And this pureness of heart is exactly why Joe can be lied to so easily.

To me, it did not matter because the women seemed bland and almost were interchangeable. But, more than that, the book is REALLY more about the kids. This a a plot devise I LOATHE. I really find no joy in reading about sibling arguments when I think I am getting a mystery set in an exotic local about friends. I was REALLY let down. Pissed even.

What if you have the perfect life, the perfect wife and the perfect child - and then, in one shattering moment, you discover nothing is as it seems? A brilliant book by TM Logan who seems to always make you wonder what you would do in the same situation and always writes a gripping and faced paced thriller and this is no exception.
Lies by T.M. Logan | Goodreads
THE VACATION is the story of a woman who goes on vacation with her husband and children, along with her three best friends and their husbands and children. She soon realizes that one of them seems to be having an affair with her husband. As this secluded but familiar setting is the perfect modern take on a genre, as Kate and her friends and families week long holiday to the south of France is about to turn into a trip from hell. On the fateful day that Joe sees his wife's car entering an underground car park, and decides to follow her, his life will never ever be the same again. He witnesses her arguing with family friend Ben, and life as he knew it will begin to unravel in a most spectacular fashion.When the American Civil War began in 1861, Logan chose to follow his home state of South Carolina and the Confederate cause. He volunteered for the Washington Light Infantry, which participated in the Battle of Fort Sumter on April 12–13. [2] Later that month he was appointed a second lieutenant in the Confederate Army, and in May he was promoted to first lieutenant and joined Wade Hampton's Legion. Logan was assigned to Company A of the unit, which had been formed in Charleston. [5] Early photograph of Logan I really enjoy thrillers where I can question "How I would react?", "What I would do?" in similar situation. Who to trust? But soon I stopped second-guessing and just enjoyed the wild ride ;) The plot on occasions seemed rather complicated and for me the biggest question was WHY? There were other plot strands and I couldn’t work out how they were connected. There was a point when I became too suspicious and worked out the who.

Twisted, dark, heart-pounding, deceptive, distorted fun—do not start this book if you don’t have time to stay up late into the night reading it! It is that hard to put down! When we began this read, I thought it would be a good old-fashioned domestic noir novel. But it blew my expectations out of the water. My mind thought of dozens of scenarios, but not a single one I thought of was THAT twist! I loved it! Psychological thriller about a man who makes a spur of the moment decision that destroys his seemingly happy life in an instant. Why would a mother abandon her child to a stranger? Ellen is about to discover that the baby in her arms might hold the key to an unspeakable crime. And doing the right thing might just cost her everything . The book begins with this epigraph: It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.” William Blake

I can’t say I really liked any of the characters. Their faults seemed to outweigh their good qualities. Not folks I would want to vacation with! Poor Ellen, I really did feel for her as she was put through the mill just for helping a stranger. The situation is made worse for her by being left a note with the baby that says “don’t trust anyone”. With so many characters, some seemingly quite unpleasant I found it impossible to know who was trustworthy, if any of them were.Nothing like going on a vacation with friends to find out how compatible you really are. A week of everyone’s spouses and kids can be a little too much, especially with different parenting styles and marital secrets. Add on top of all that, the idea of discovering your husband may just be having an affair with one of the other women. That’s the situation that Kate finds herself in. As a celebration of the wives, old school chums, all turning 40, they gather at a lovely villa in southern France. This psychological thriller had an intense start and definitely pulled me in right away. Joseph Lynch is innocently driving home when his son spots his wife's car on the road. He decides to follow her at his son's request to "surprise mommy". Little did he know that based on that one spontaneous decision he was unwittingly in for a life altering surprise. With Kate it’s her sixteen year old daughter Lucy transitioning into adulthood, whilst Izzy is the single one of the group - there’s a nice blend of characters.
