All the Beautiful Lies

Peter Swanson is the author of The Girl with a Clock for a Heart. He has degrees from Trinity College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Emerson College. His books have been translated into over 30 languages. In All the Beautiful Lies is a bloody conclusion to a wagon train’s journey across the US, a beautifully told crime story, and a dark tale of murderous obsession. Less than a week before university graduation, Harry Ackerson learns his father Bill, who owns a rare books shop in Kennewick, a small town in Maine, has died suddenly in what looks like a hiking accident. Harry rushes back to the sprawling house his father inhabited with Harry’s stepmother Alice, Bill’s second wife, who is only some fifteen years older than Harry. Alice is inconsolable but oddly unreadable, a strange, ephemeral presence adding to the mystery of Bill’s death, about which precious few facts are known. It’s a low-key beginning, yet one that is full of foreboding and unspoken possibilities, as Swanson’s spare, sharply defined prose sketches the peculiar relationship between Harry and Alice. They met only occasionally before the tragedy since Bill and Alice got together after Harry started college, and as a result, there is an awkwardness in how son and wife deal with their bereavement… You can listen online to free English audiobook “All the Beautiful Lies” by Peter Swanson on our website.
