Book of the Week: Never Tell a Lie

Hallie Ephron's Never Tell a Lie centers on Ivy and David, a couple preparing for the birth of their first child after past pregnancy problems. Ivy's nesting instinct is in overdrive so she and David arrange a yard sale where an old schoolmate neither of them initially recognizes shows up. Ivy has an immediate feeling that something is off with pregnant Melinda White, but things move from bad to worse when the police show up to inform Ivy and David that Melinda has disappeared and the last place she was seen was entering their home with David. It isn't long before the evidence is piling up and David is under intense suspicion. When Ivy starts digging into their shared past she begins to realize that perhaps things weren't exactly as she remembers...

Never Tell a Lie is one of those books you want to finish so you can figure out exactly what happened. When I did reach the end I wasn't altogether satisifed with the mystery and how it was solved, but I would still recommend Never Tell a Lie as a quick, interesting read.
