What Lies Between Us by John Marrs: ARC Review
Synopsis:
Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.
They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.
Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.
But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.
Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

My Thoughts:
What an amazing domestic thriller!!
Nina and Maggie share a house, and once every few days, they even share a meal. But there is something terribly wrong about this house, and the relationship between Nina and Maggie. Maggie can never leave, and Nina is determined to keep her there forever.
There are secrets and reveals galore as the characters delve into their past. Appearances are deceiving here, because on the street, both Nina and Maggie would look like innocuous people leading innocuous lives. But oh, how far from the truth that is!
This was my first John Marrs book, and I was very impressed. I'll definitely read more in the future.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.
