My Review:

My only regret with State of Lies by Siri Mitchell is not having read it sooner! 

This book was a wild ride! Literally nothing was as it seemed. Every time I thought I had a handle on the story, something would shift. 

Georgie Brennan is a strong female protagonist. Not because she wants to be, but because she is forced to be. And, while her job forces her to question things, she soon finds that a very useful skill in her everyday life as well.

I don't want to say too much more, at the risk of giving things away, but this was a fantastic, page-turning thriller, with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. My husband asked me what I thought when I finished and my answer was "I don't know." I had to process the book and all that had happened.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

One woman is forced to question everything she knows in this domestic suspense novel from award-winning author Siri Mitchell.

Georgie Brennan may be a world-class quantum physicist, but she grapples with life as a single mother after her husband is killed. When she receives a message from beyond the grave, it leads her to question the details of her husband’s death.

As she follows the clues he left behind, her discoveries increasingly implicate those closest to her. When her father is nominated as the new United States Secretary of Defense, she must uncover the truth before his confirmation hearing—even as the same people who killed her husband are now after her. Nothing is at is seems. Lies are truth; enemies are friends. Even her child is at risk. As every possibility but one disappears, Georgie may find herself to be the antithesis of everything she’s thought herself to be.
