SUMMARY

Shortly after the election Jude is the victim of a supposedly gang-related shooting. His survives but his brain is affected. As secrets begin to unravel, Abby is forced to realize that Jude was not an unintended victim of the shooting.
REVIEW
WHY WE LIE is a first rate journey into Washington politics, greed and power. It has an intricate plot, complete with a rich billionaire who can get away with just about anything. Aby and Jude’s characters are well-developed and interesting, as are the secrets they keep from each other and the lies they tell. I loved the use of The Washington Truth newspaper to tell a part of the complex story. It’s an compelling read.
Author AMY IMPELLIZZERI’s timely writing is immensely satisfying, and she keeps the story moving quickly. She may even have you questioning the secrets you keep. IMPELLIZZERI is a reformed corporate litigator and an award winning author. She has written one nonfiction book and three novels, including The Truth About Thea (2017). She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, three kids and an energetic Weimaraner named Cocoa.
Thanks to AMY IMPELLIZZERI for an reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
