There was four different perspectives, Gwen whose point of views were the more recurrent through the storyline. Robert with one chapter narrated on the third person as well for Scott. Meanwhile, Scott’s mother had a little bit of credit with her suspicious point of views that were recounted by the third person, too. But how and why everyone was related?

You see, Robert is so sure Randall Thompson is innocent, he decided to become his defense Attorney. A.R. Torre writes with an attention to detail like few others. Her characters feel like “real people” who you could meet on the street the next day. Everything they say and do feels so authentic. It’s definitely one of her strengths. A vertiginous tale of serial kidnapping and murder that begins with a miracle and then heads sharply downhill. Kavin hires Gwen, who he met previously, to evaluate Thompson and provide him with a profile that can be used in court. As they become closer, questions are raised, by the characters plus, I had a few of my own as well. Is there a conflict of interest here?

Have you ever noticed how every play Shakespeare wrote hinges on lies? Some more than others. Particularly the comedies such as Twelfth Night or As You Like It. People lie, misunderstandings abound, hilarity ensues. But the tragedies and romances all hang on lies and liars as well. I know Romeo and Juliet is the obvious example, but I didn’t love it. Now Othello, that was an interesting love story about liars. Beyond the more complicated motives you have to ask, who was actually in love with whom? I’m not sure there’s a consensus on that.

I enjoyed following the breadcrumbs and trying to solve the thing. It held me captivated and invested the whole time. Eventually, I managed to figure it out, but only to an extent, and it sure gave me a good run for my money.Minow, Nell (October 9, 2014). "Writer Margaret Nagle Talks About The Good Lie".
