What The Reviewers Say
McGarrahan’s obsession with rooting out the truth in the case leads her (and her unfailingly loyal husband) to Florida, Ireland and Australia, where she tracks down any detail that might potentially help her know what happened. It’s not a triumphant story.
... haunting memoir, which also unfolds as a gripping true-crime narrative.
What sets Ellen McGarrahan's just-published true crime book, Two Truths and a Lie , above so many others I've read is the moral gravity of her presence on the page and the hollow-voiced lyricism of her writing style.
Journalist and private investigator McGarrahan’s debut is an engrossing, authoritative fusion of true crime and memoir. She has a particular connection to the grisly crime at is center, which she portrays in a chilling prologue.
