The Lie She Wears - by Elle Marr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A daughter inherits her mother's deadly secrets in a chilling novel of psychological suspense by Elle Marr, the #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Alone Time.

Museum curator Pearl Davis always had a strained relationship with her mother, Sally. Growing up, she rarely felt her mother's love. So many things about her mother's behavior never added up. But when Sally dies unexpectedly, she leaves Pearl a letter from the grave...confessing to murder.

Suddenly, Pearl has even more questions than she has answers. She suspects the letter is just a sign of her mother's diminished state of mind--until she finds human remains in Sally's garden. With the help of a friend, Pearl begins searching for the truth of her mother's actions--and as she does, more cryptic notes emerge. But these letters aren't just clues behind a confession. They're a warning. Sally was terrified of something.

When more remains are discovered, it's clear whatever secrets Sally died with are now Pearl's to bear. And as darkness closes in, Pearl fears that her mother's past could be the death of her.
