Never Lie

 Freida McFadden is the author of the novel Never Lie which was published in 2022. This is a thriller/crime novel. Newlyweds, Tricia and Ethan are checking out a real estate listing out in the country. They expect to meet their realtor on a Friday evening. A snow storm comes and they barely make it to the house. The realtor is not there. The newlyweds find a key and enter the house since their car is stuck in the driveway and there is no escaping the storm. The home was owned by a female psychiatrist who has been missing for 3 years. The newlyweds find food and shelter. They explore the house. Tricia finds a secret room with clues to the psychiatrist's patients. The plot unfolds like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Some phrasing was repetitive and I wondered why the author kept hammering on the same point. Otherwise the character development was good and the scenery descriptions were compelling.
