A stranger kidnaps Sophie on the first morning of their trip while Adam and their three-year-old daughter watch helplessly from the boat in the water. Mason County detective Lee Husemann, Adam\u2019s best friend\u2019s sister, steps in to investigate the incident. As she delves deeper into the case, she realizes everything is not as it seems on the surface and people are capable of the biggest lies. The narrative shifts from person to person with lurid details, which adds intrigue to the story. As readers delve deeper into this multi-layered story, surprising revelations unravel protagonists\u2019 hidden secrets. The tense plot is marred somewhat by characters\u2019 extensive backstories which at times seem to hinder the book\u2019s flow. The identity of the murderer wouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to hard-core mystery buffs, but a sense of doom accompanies the reader as bite-sized hints points the latter in the direction of the killer halfway through the book. Olsen\u2019s writing is intense, and he is brilliant when it comes to characterization. A must read for all the mystery buffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Lying Next to Me <\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">by Gregg Olsen<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Thomas &amp; Mercer<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lying-Next-Me-Gregg-Olsen\/dp\/1542040515\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now <\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PUB DATE May 21, 2019<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">ISBN 9781721334087<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PRICE $10.97 (USD)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Intense, suspenseful, and an engrossing read\u2026 Adam and Sophie Warner are holidaying for the Memorial Day weekend to unwind and to fill the gaps seeping in their relationship.
