There are no unnecessary details to bog down the plot; every character, event and beautifully written description keeps the story going at a steady pace, and readers never feel as if they're being led to a dead end. Dunn's heartbreaking novel might show a sickening side of humankind, but the end result is a hopefully and moving narrative that will stick with readers." --RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars Top Pick

"Dunn manages to take what sounds like another un-of-the-mill teacher-student relationship story and turn it into a dark conspiracy.

"The Darkest Lie is a headlong rush into the shadows of secrets that should not be kept - and proof that the most dangerous lies of all are the ones we tell ourselves." --Michelle Zink, author of The Prophecy of Sisters
