THE LIES YOU TOLD

“Totally addictive”
“I read The Lies You Told in two days, barely able to turn the pages fast enough. It’s spare and taut, the sense of wrongness building in chilling, skilfully written layers, with a jaw dropping last line twist.”
When Sadie moves back to London, she’s determined to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.
First, she needs to get her daughter settled into a new school – one of the most exclusive in town. Next, she’s going to get back the high-flying criminal barrister career she sacrificed for marriage.
But the school doesn’t welcome newcomers. The other mothers are fiercely competitive, and Sadie immediately finds herself on the outside.
In chambers, she’s given the junior brief on a scandalous, high-profile case. It’s an opportunity to prove herself again, but will she let a dangerous flirtation cloud her professional judgement?
And when the tide turns at the school-gate, will Sadie’s desire to be accepted prevent her from seeing clearly – and recognising the threat that she’s inviting into her home?
“A breathless read – with a shocker of an ending!”
“A slow-burning mystery, full of intrigue and menace, it creeps on you until that final explosive twist.”
“An absolute page turner with a twist you’ll read twice because you can’t believe you missed it”
