It really does not work as a stand-alone mystery, despite what some may claim.
Unger throws us into the middle of the action with only tidbits of the back-story to provide a frame of reference for the bewildered reader.
The author introduces the story with a violent prologue, and then segues into a chapter that foreshadows the book's dramatic conclusion. If you haven't read Lisa Unger's first novel, Beautiful Lies, you will likely find her sequel, Sliver of Truth, extremely confusing. But sometimes turning away just isn’t an option.” I had been guilty of putting myself in the path of harm when I could have easily crossed the street. (Reviewed by Eleanor Bukowsky JAN 20, 2007)
