T.M. Logan, Lies

Joe Lynch has the best of intentions when he innocently follows his wife's car into a hotel parking garage. But his plan to surprise her leads to an altercation with the man she is there to meet, her best friend's husband, Ben, an obnoxious type-A type who's a whiz with computers.

Things escalate very quickly after their encounter. Ben goes missing, the police are looking at Joe for Ben's murder, and no one will believe Joe's claim that he's being set up by the alleged victim.

Lies had me fully interested and fully duped up to the dramatic climax, when the bad guy lays it all out for us in a James Bond-style information dump.

I found that conversation hard to swallow: too much talk under the circumstances. But otherwise, I've no complaints.
