The Marriage Lie A bestselling psychological thriller Kimberly Belle 9780778319764 Books
Iris and Will have a perfect marriage. They are in love. They are each other's favorite person (a phrase they exchange instead of "I love you"). They live in a perfect house (which they can't really afford) and have perfect jobs. Iris is a beloved psychologist at a private school. Will is a genius computer scientist at an up-and-coming company. To add to the idyllic bliss, they are trying to get pregnant (which is described in abundant detail). Will, about to leave for a three-day conference in Florida, has a special anniversary gift for Iris: a Cartier Infinity Ring, which is WAY more than they can afford.Then, glowing with love, Will departs for his conference and Iris heads to school. The day is interrupted with news of a terrible Seattle-bound airplane crash with no survivors. Iris, while feeling compassion for the victims and their families, is relieved that this can't be Will's Florida-bound plane.
Only, according to the airline, Will is among the victims.
Which opens a great big can of worms. What would Will be doing on a plane to Seattle? What was he doing? Why had he lied to Iris? What else had he lied about?
Things get more and more complicated.
Iris is forced to undertake her own investigation to find the truth.
Kimberly Belle writes a convincing portrait of grief. Iris' pain is tangible. The storyline is involving, full of deception and surprises, twists and turns.
Beyond that, I should point out that I am not the target audience for this book. I don't read cozies. I don't read romantic suspense. If you do, read no further in this review. Enjoy the book. It's full of twists and surprises.
If you are like me, you won't be thrilled with this thriller. All of Kimberly Belle's great storyline is smothered in, what was to me, an assaultively overwritten style. Iris doesn't cry. Tears prick her eyes. She doesn't get angry. Rage coils in her belly. She doesn't get frustrated, Helplessness presses down on her hard enough to make her breathless. And while I wouldn't object to these descriptions being liberally sprinkled throughout the book, they crowd the pages. The other descriptions that crowd the pages are descriptions of Iris' and Will's bodies fitting together, their warmth, the frequency of their lovemaking, their smells, their tender moments...
I'm gonna need a good serial killer to get the taste out of my mouth.

The Marriage Lie A bestselling psychological thriller Kimberly Belle 9780778319764 Books Reviews
wow!!! What a great read! I couldn't put it down. It sucked me in from the beginning, and kept me guessing until the very end. I read this book in a day! I even had my husband asking me what is going on now? I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy this book.
Meh. I read this book in one sitting primarily because I had time that I usually don't have to gulp down a novel in one day. But throughout most of the first half I was bored. There were a lot of plot twists which kept me going but the story did not feel original. The characters were well fleshed-out but around halfway through I figured out most of the ending so it became more of a read to just see if I guessed right. Had I not been recovering from an outpatient surgery I may have skimmed a lot of the second half. Let's just say the suspense was underwhelming.
I thought the book was just okay. I definitely would not call it a "psychological thriller" as is advertised. It is more like a cheesy romance novel trying to grow up to be another "Gone Girl". As an example, one line in particular is over the top cheesy...she is face to face with a man who intends to kill her, they are in her living room and the line goes something like this "I felt the sweat blooming between my breasts"....seriously? That is the silliest line I have ever read in a book that has been advertised as a "psychological thriller". If you like silly romance novels then you will like this book. And some questions are never answered, for example, how did his ring get to the crash site?
Too many unanswered questions. Not believable. Terrible unsatisfactory ending. No recommendation to anyone unless you like abrupt and inadequate endings.
I’m still trying to figure out how this book got ANY good reviews. I’m an avid reader and user and I’ve never written a review before. But like another reviewer said, this book was so irritating, I felt compelled to. The main character was so poorly developed and awful that I couldn’t stand her. The author repeats many literary concepts over and over and uses the exact same descriptive phrases SO many times (how many “spiky balls” of nausea/fear/anger does she swallow in one week?). If I had a penny for every time the main character described her nausea and vomiting, I could pay myself back for this terrible purchase. I’ll leave out any spoilers for those who still feel the need to read this and waste some time and 12 bucks. But I will NEVER read another book by this author. And I have serious questions about trusting any reviews on here if so many people would give this garbage 4 stars or more.
Very easy reading, the story starts pretty well but then it goes around and around. Unfortunately with every page I was hopping that something will happen but not much did. The concept and plot were predictable and story quite unbelievable. The end never happened.
