There are three people in this marriage. One of them must die.

Alicia feels like the luckiest woman alive.With a gorgeous, successful husband who whisks her away on romantic trips, a beautiful home in one of the country's wealthiest zip codes, and two wonderful daughters, she has everything she could ever want. But Alicia will soon discover that an enviable marriage comes at a deadly cost.

Who is Faith and why are dozens of emails between her and Alicia's husband hidden in his draft folder? Why were the messages never sent? As Alicia embarks on a desperate quest to uncover Faith's identity, a shocking death hits close to home and sends her reeling. Was it a tragic accident or cold-blooded murder?

In this beautiful town of wealth and privilege, nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. As Alicia struggles under the weight of dark secrets from her own past, someone knows more than they’re saying—someone who knows the truth will come at a devastating price.

Our Wicked Lies is a twisty, chilling domestic thriller that takes betrayal and obsession to dangerous new heights, laying bare the dark side of marriage and the tragic consequences of wanting what you can’t have. Perfect for fans of The Wife Between Us, The Couple Next Door and The Husband’s Secret.

I have very mixed thoughts about this book. First, the entire first half of the book was very predictable to me. I was able to figure out the first really big twist of the book, so that took some of the fun out of the thriller aspect of the book. I also found it very hard to like any of these characters, even Alicia (although I did like her a lot more towards the end of the book).The second half of the book did start to pick up for me. It had a lot of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming at all. I also loved the very, very end. It was truly a shocking ending. I also enjoyed the epilogue and how it gave a very satisfying ending for all the characters.Overall, this book had some twists and turns as well as a shocking ending. The book was a little predictable at times but was still an enjoyable, fast read.Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Page-turner! Our Wicked Lies reels you in and keeps you glued until very end. Kabongo creates a gripping, dramatic world enabling the reader to feel like the fly on the wall in this suspenseful story. I felt like I was watching it all unfold before my eyes, almost as if watching a movie.

The characters all have secrets that could chance to ruin their seemingly perfect lives. Betrayal runs deep in this story. Our main character Alicia, finds herself in the middle of lies and betrayals so deep she doesn’t know who she can truly trust or how her life has ended up this way. Then, when tragedy strikes, it seems unlikely anyone will come out unscathed!

I enjoyed the drama in this story. Kabongo delivers a fascinating and engaging read! I’ll pick up another by this author in the future after reading this one.

I read this in one day!! I have a headache from staring at my Kindle screen all day. Each character has a secret. This book has so many twists and turns, u would figure out one secret and another one came out. This is a book where you will get comfortable and not put down the book. The book description made me purchase the book before I finished reading the book description.
Our Wicked Lies is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Which is rare for me to put in my reviews because I read frequently. This book is worth the purchase, you won't be disappointed. Writing this review is difficult for me to write because it's so much I want to write but I don't want to give the book away.

Alicia Gray is upset after seeing her best friend, Kat, grab her husband, Eliott’s, crotch at a get-together. Alicia is a stay at home mom to their two daughters, Marston, 17, and Lily, 16. Eliott is a partner at an elite law firm and they live in a large home in a wealthy neighborhood. When confronted, Eliott assures Alicia that he was not seeking attention from Kat and feels she had probably been drinking too much. When Alicia confronts Kay, she apologizes and tells her that she had had too much to drink and is embarrassed by her actions.

Alicia works voluntarily at a OBGYN clinic that offers care to women who can’t afford their own doctor. She is thinking of getting a full time job now and even doing some college education online. Eliott doesn’t seem to feel that she needs to do that as he makes plenty of money.

When Alicia inadvertently finds emails to and from someone named Faith on Eliott’s computer, she knows he’s having an affair. Thus, begins Alicia hunt to find out who Faith is and why Eliott is having an affair.

Well, Eliott is is a cocky jerk always calling Alicia “Baby” when she questions him. That irked me. Why would Alicia want to continue to stay with someone who she knows is having an affair and is condescending to her? I wanted to kick both of them! He’s a creep and she’s the whiny little wife who can’t realize that he isn’t going to change. There was a lot of repetition in the book rehashing the same old things. Sorry. Not a favorite.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s juicy, scandalous, and suspenseful, but with very realistic and well-written emotions portrayed. It deals with a lot of tough subjects — the author is very talented at depicting them and really drawing you into the character’s lives.

I found myself becoming fond and attached to a few of the characters ... protective, even. I wanted to scream at some others. :)

It did wrap up a bit too easily, but you know, sometimes a happy ending is nice in books like these (that deal with heavy subjects).

I highly recommend this, and am looking forward to reading other books by this author. I’d love a sequel of this one!

This is the first book I read from this author but it will not be my last.
I lived inside this story. Watching like a fly on the wall. Alicia is my hero. After everything her husband and best friend put here through she should have committed suicide, but she didn't.
Strong women either come from strong women of they pull up their big girl panties and handle things.
Alicia did just that.

Our Wicked Lies by Gledè Browne Kabongo a suspenseful story that had me flipping the pages to discover how it all played out.
I would class it as a bit of a psychological thriller- there’s also plenty of emotion, secrets, mystery, deception, intrigue, lies, betrayal, discovery, and tension.
Although the story was a little slow in the beginning, it didn’t take too long before it had me devouring the pages and following along intently as everything unfolded.

Well worth the read!

Thank you, Gledè Browne Kabongo!
