Husband and wife stand on opposite sides of a divide created by lies and rooted in a dark and deadly past… Seattle.
The vow she made as a teenager to never again be a victim lies dormant – until one day a reporter lures her to his hotel room under the pretense of an interview – and suddenly all of it comes rushing back. Jill seeks revenge on the reporter, triggering a series of events that leads Jill down a wormhole of retribution, forcing her to spin an ever-widening web of lies.
Meanwhile, Alex is pulled into a case of a series of murders that began as cyber relationships. There seems to be a familiar fingerprint on these crimes, but Alex refuses to believe the murderer could be someone close to him.
“Chris Patchell’s debut novel, DEADLY LIES, is a taut, fast-paced thriller that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go. Patchell is a master storyteller with a real talent for creating pulse-pounding suspense.” ~ Kevin O’Brien, New York Times Bestselling Author of TELL ME YOU’RE SORRY

It was very enjoyable.
Lots of twists and turns.
I liked it.
I have read a few books written by Chris Pratchell and this one didn’t disappoint either! The characters are so well written they seem to jump off the page and become real! The plot line is so intense that it makes you say “just one more chapter”! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense
This was a book with some twists and a page turner!
I had a hard time finishing this book. One of the main characters (Jill) was totally unlikable. Yes, she was horribly abuse by her step-father, but it certainly didn’t make me empathize with her seemingly sociopathic personality. The end was disappointing.
3.5 stars
This one is a bit of slow build and took me awhile to get into, but I have to say that the more I learned about the characters and their back story, the more my curiosity was piqued about where the story would go. From the beginning, Jill is not a likable character. She’s cold and seems to have little regard for others. Of course, it …
Lots of plot twists…interesting characters.
Very good book.
Deadly Lies is a shock. So did not see this coming. Jill isn’t a very nice person, but who knew she was lethal. And, all things considered, why on earth would she marry a cop??
Will read the next Chris Patchell. This was a good read.
Hated the ending,
