The Weight of Lies

A perfectly crafted psychological mystery. Lots of twists and turns such that you're never quite sure who to believe until very near the end. The premise hooked me - a daughter whose mother wrote a spectacularly successful horror novel 40 years ago is given a healthy advance to write a tell-all book about her prickly relationship with that mother and also the story behind the thinly-veiled true account of a murder on which the famous book is based. Recommended for fans of tales like all the GIRL books. An easy read - devoured it in one day.

If you grew up with 70's and 80's horror like I did, especially the killer kid subgenre, you will love this book.
