Review - An Imperfect Truth by Priscilla Masters

Dr Claire Roget's patient may have told her last lie, but can the truth about her death be uncovered?

Poppy Kelloway was a liar. Forensic psychiatric Claire Roget's patient made up 'facts' that damaged other families, destroyed relationships and even resulted in an untimely death.

Poppy left a trail of human misery in her wake, but when she's found murdered in her home by her two teenage sons, the savage nature of the attack is still shocking, as is the discovery of a torn appointment card for her next meeting with Claire. Could there be a connection between the murderer and the clinic, and is Claire herself in danger? Claire and Detective Sergeant Zed Willard must navigate dangerous minds and deadly lies in their quest to get to the chilling truth.

I found myself quickly engrossed in this book. Is it a patient that is responsible or not? I quickly found like that I liked Claire and I also liked the fact the we get to know a little bit about her as a person and her family life.

I loved how Poppy's lies were unfolded and the pool of suspects was growing as more lies and connections were uncovered. I was not expecting the ending and thought it came together brilliantly.

This is the first book in the series that I have read and I don't feel that not having read the others prior to this had any impact on the story. I am however intrigued to go back and read then to see if there is anything that I have missed about Claire ready for the next book!
