Every person in Pine Bluff, Alabama, stood behind Emily Wallace when she testified against Clint Austin. After all, Emily knows what she saw that terrible Clint, covered in blood, holding the body of her best friend Heather.
But Clint has always maintained his innocence, and now, after a successful appeal, he has come home to prove it.
The whole town is furious about his return, and Emily becomes obsessed with sending Clint back to prison—until her father reveals a devastating secret that casts doubt on the whole trial. What if she was wrong?
When another person with a connection to Heather turns up dead, Clint and Emily embark on a desperate search to find the truth. Because ten years ago, they were both betrayed by someone they know. So who, in a town full of liars, is getting away with murder?
Revised Previously published as Traceless, this edition of The Ten Year Lieincludes editorial revisions.
MY THOUGHTS:
As Clint and Emily work towards cross purposes, someone connected to their past ends up dead. The lines between guilt and innocence begin to blur, and it soon becomes clear that the truth may be far more complicated than either of them believed. Reluctantly, Clint and Emily find themselves working together. In the process, Emily starts to question her certainty, and the tension between them evolves into something more layered - an undeniable chemistry that adds another dimension to their uneasy alliance.
The Ten Year Lie kicks off the Dark and Dangerous series with a compelling mix of suspense and emotional depth. As an audiobook, it was an easy and engaging listen, with a steady pace that kept me invested. Between the twists, the shifting perspectives, and the charged dynamic between Clint and Emily, this story sets up the series well. I’m definitely curious to see where things go next.
