To Tell You the Truth by Gilly MacMillan Book Summary

Named a New York Times Best Thriller of the Year and Best Book to Gift! 

"An unsettling and atmospheric thriller that’s almost impossible to put down . . . Will keep you guessing right up until its satisfying but unexpected conclusion." — Buzzfeed

"Riveting." — The New York Times Book Review

The acclaimed author of The Nanny and What She Knew—hailed by stalwarts including Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Tess Gerritsen, and Shari Lapena—returns with another serpentine thriller that cleverly blends atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and twisty secrets from the past into a potent, intense read that will leave you questioning everything you believe.

To tell you the truth . . . everybody lies.

Lucy Harper’s talent for writing bestselling novels has given her fame, fortune and millions of fans.  It’s also given her Dan, her needy, jealous husband whose own writing career has gone precisely nowhere.

Now Dan has vanished. But this isn’t the first time that someone has disappeared from Lucy’s life. Three decades ago, her little brother Teddy also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the only witness, helplessly spun fantasy after fantasy about Teddy’s disappearance, to the detectives’ fury and her parents’ despair. That was the start of her ability to tell a story—a talent she has profited from greatly. 

But now Lucy’s a grown woman who can’t hide behind fiction any longer. The world is watching, and her whole life is under intense scrutiny. A life full of stories, some more believable than others. Could she have hurt Teddy?  Did she kill Dan?  Finally, now, Lucy Harper’s going to tell the truth.

Cross her heart.

And hope to die.

"Spellbinding . . . Bold, suspenseful, and impossible to put down. This one will stay with me for a long time." — Samantha Downing, #1 internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

Disappointing. The book was a great read but then it abruptly ended and was extremely anticlimactic!

To Tell You The Truth. I enjoyed this book..to a point. I felt that a major plot point was left unresolved and to me that was very unsatisfying. If I had been the editor on this one, I would have insisted on working in a resolution. It wouldn’t have been that difficult. I have read a couple other books by the author, and wasn’t left hanging. I’m a bit leery to start another one, get to the end and not know what happened.

Page turner!. Kept my guessing to the very end!

Page turner. This is a very fast paced fascinating story.

I wanted to like it more. Ugh, this book was a slog. And I think I’m being charitable by giving it three stars. Really slow-moving, and narrated by an annoyingly shambolic and incapable “protagonist,” the clever twist or two here and there hardly makes up for the book’s many shortcomings. Including the failure to solve one of the two main mysteries.

Very enjoyable. Great pace, good plot, excellent characters. Overall a well done novel

Good story...but. I’d give the story about a 6 out of ten. Typically, I LOVE her books, but this one fell short. The end left me hanging. I hate it when there is no resolution, except when there is a sequel, but with this book there isn’t one. Super disappointed in the last 1/4 of t(e book. Hopefully, she will return to form next time!

Wonderful writing, unique story. The book is written well, with rich descriptions that fully transport me to the creepy, woodsy suburban setting. I enjoyed the angle of a mystery writer trying to solve a riveting real life mystery. Without giving too much away, the plot twists and turns in ways that’s quite different than anything I’ve read. Although especially towards the end of the book, is a bit out there. Even if I let my imagination go along with it, a lot was left unresolved for me.

Loved this thriller. As with all the novels she writes this one didn’t disappoint me with its riveting mysterious story, the character’s complexity and realistic resonation to her ever changing emotions and whirlwind of a chaotic inner struggle with which she has no one to confide in as she’s unsure of what thoughts are real and what’s an overactive imagination and planted information about her childhood trauma in which she’s never been able to find any closure or even confirmatory answers to her infinite list of questions and confusion about her memories and the turmoil she is burdened with not knowing what’s real and what has been imagined or made up in a child mind that needed to make herself think certain truths in order to cope and pretend to functionally exist in the adult world she is currently experiencing yet not wholly as she is still very much the child whose trauma has become her only constant and reliable source throughout her life.

Could not put the book down, ending left me wanting more closure.. Could not put the book down, unfortunately left me wanting closure to a few open items that I do not want to destroy for other readers.

Wow. Page turner. A good whodunnit ! First book of this author I have read!

Could be better. Unexpected ending… not in a good way.

To tell the truth. Great read. Certainly different than most thrillers. She kept me guessing till the end. A small insert map of the forest and properties would’ve helped.

Hmmm.. Peaked my interest at first but then went downhill - fast. Not a credible conclusion. Seems like the author wrote themselves into a hole and then just threw a stupid idea at the wall in an attempt to end this idiotic story.
