Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this breakneck thriller, a young woman is confronted by the ghosts of her past and must race through the chaotic streets of New York City to find the truth—and hope that it doesn’t find her first. . . .
“This mystery’s surprising twists will make your jaw drop.”—Cosmopolitan
“Suspenseful, sensitive, sexy, subtle.”—Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series
If Ridley Jones had slept ten minutes later, she would still be living the beautiful lie she used to call her life.
Instead, a series of seemingly inconsequential decisions unleashed a chain of events that brought a mysterious package to her door.
A package that informed her that her entire world was a lie.
Suddenly forced to question everything she knows about herself and her family, Ridley feels as if everyone in her life is a stranger. She has no idea who’s on her side and who has something to hide—even her new lover Jake seems to have secrets of his own.
Sexy and fast-paced, Beautiful Lies is a breathtaking ride where every choice Ridley makes creates a whirlwind of consequences that are impossible to imagine. . . .
Customer Reviews
Beautiful Lies
Although I immensely enjoyed this book, I am not giving it the highest rating for two reasons:
1. Parts of the book seemed too incredible.
2. The protagonist’s moods and reactions seemed inconsistent at times, which the author attempted to cover with statements like, “Didn’t I just say....”
For the most part, the protagonist seemed credible and likable. Her descriptions of NYC—the smells, the characters, the street scenes—were perfect.
I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mysterious adventures!

This authors best book
It's been a while since I read beautiful lies but I still recall its story and that it is an excellent book. Very hard to put down. A must read.
Unger’s seventh book I have read
None blew me away and neither did this. I guess I liked the premise of many of her books, and maybe the beginning, but none lived up to what I was expecting.
