The Weight of Lies A Novel edition by Emily Carpenter Literature Fiction eBooks

Hot damn I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Carpenter had me guessing and twisted until the very last line on the last page. Honestly, I don't recall a thriller like this one ever....one I had absolutely no idea how to solve and turning turning turning pages for more Intel, which Carpenter doles out like a master. Just enough to keep you obsessively turning. I loved the research on the Indian history. I loved the setting: gothic south. I LOVED the Ambletern, creepy huge inn on a southern island. Moss dripping trees. Wild horses. Beach. Seashells. Old ruins on the island. And Super HOT HOT Koa, who I wanted to jump into the book and kiss myself. But the even better stuff is this, Carpenter, in a stroke of pure genius, weaves throughout the main story, a 1970's cult horror, named KITTEN. KITTEN is a horror story told in snippets throughout, and even though in snippets, I was equally as riveted by it as I was for the main story. And the backstory of how the world made KITTEN a cult sensation, and generated "KITTY Cultists"....well, I "got" that. It wasn't just a fact you had to accept. You could see why world readers became enthralled with KITTEN and why there were KITTY Cultists. I too am a Kitty Cultist. Brava!!!!

The Weight of Lies A Novel edition by Emily Carpenter Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

The Weight of Lies is a fantastic suspense novel that I couldn't put down. The depth and layering of the plot really pulls the reader in. Also, the author did a great job incorporating diverse characters and cultures. I would love to see this turned into a movie!
I enjoyed the book and the writing but there are too many unanswered questions in the end. **SPOILER ALERT**
What did Koa see out the window that night? What EXACTLY did he go to the island for? What was it that Kimmy’s father asked him to do (only find out who murdered his daughter?). Even though billy WAS trying to protect Megan, was he a little off his rocker as well? What happened to the truck at his house? And why?
This is the first Emily Carpenter book I have read and I loved it! It's an original story line and a bit slow starting, but all at once I was hooked and couldn't put it down. Great characters and not predictable. As soon as I finished this book I bought her first one, "Burying the Honeysuckle Girls" and it has me hooked as well. I always love finding new authors whose books I enjoy.
Oh, this novel is so fun! It is a book within a book Kitten, Ashely Frances' 1970s horror novel that turned into a massive best seller, and The Weight of Lies, a novel about Ashley Frances' daughter Meg, who is writing a memoir about growing up in the shadow of both Kitten and Ashley Frances. It's set on an island in Georgia that has a herd of wild horses, builds suspense and intrigue, plus a whole lot of Kitten fandom, including Kitty Cultist conspiracy theories. The ending was a bit insane, but I had so much fun falling for a world where Kitten is the best horror novel of the past 40 years, and Kitty Cultists build websites and bars dedicated to the lore of Kitten.
I just love a good mystery/thriller and Carpenter's THE WEIGHT OF LIES delivers in every way. Meg Ashley, the protagonist, is a flawed but sympathetic character who travels to a remote island off the coast of Georgia. She is there to solve a decades-old murder mystery that her estranged mother fictionalized in a novel that became a bestselling cult classic.

The setting is perfectly creepy and atmospheric. The cast of characters are so well drawn- they are all interesting, imperfect and believable. Some of these characters have motives of their own regarding the mystery and you are constantly wondering who Meg can trust and who she should stay far away from. This story is a page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end - what more can you ask for in a mystery? Oh - bonus points for the dose of romance thrown in for good measure!

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would - definitely add THE WEIGHT OF LIES to your "must read" list!
A page-turner that gets you first with the compelling concept of two books woven together. Meg is ready to boil over with a lifetime of impatience with unsatisfied love in her relationship with her mother when she is confronted with an interesting prospect the opportunity to write a tell-all. Doing so means that she is compiling facts to unveil the mysteries of her own parentage at the same time that she reads, for the first time, the iconic murder mystery that gained her mother bestselling fame and wealth. For all the modernity of Meg's character, the novel is rich with the kind of classic mystique that had Hitchcock so gripped with the novels of Daphne du Maurier. Continual twists, as Meg uncovers layers of lies, have readers becoming Kitty Cultists, sure they've solved the original killing -- but it's a plot that will keep you guessing until the end. I'm sure this one will become a film, and can't wait to see the setting, especially, depicted. Great to see this second great read from Carpenter -- and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
Emily Carpenter has a gift for spinning spooky Southern tales of families gone wrong. THE WEIGHT OF LIES was beautifully (and creepily) crafted.
The train wreck of a relationship between Meg and Frances Ashley was hard to look away from, and the snippets of Kitten that were woven into the story made me wish that I could read that in real life.
I could not put this book down. The Weight of Lies kept me guessing until the end, and was well worth the night of sleep I lost reading it!
