Everyone’s hiding something in Alder Vale. And some secrets are worth killing for…
Six years ago, a lavish party in the woods behind an English country estate ended in the death of Dominic Rayner—the golden boy heir to a powerful aristocratic family. It was ruled a tragic accident. But the guests who were there that night have never recovered, while the truth remained buried.
Now, Tatum—Dominic’s beautiful, manipulative ex—is back in town with a young son and an agenda. She’s blackmailing the family patriarch, running from her past, and threatening to upend everything the elite village of Alder Vale has worked so hard to keep quiet.
As whispers spread, old wounds reopen. A missing phone. A drunken confession. Another body... And beneath the manicured lawns and polite smiles, something much darker is crawling to the surface. Because the truth isn’t just ugly. It’s lethal.
Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Jewell, Lie To Me is a chilling psychological thriller about buried secrets, fractured friendships, and what happens when the lies we live by are finally exposed.
It is a very intriguing and suspenseful read. The author did a splendid job in creating a well developed storyline with exceptional, well crafted characters in a tightly woven plot. The pacing was mixed and had plenty of twists and turns throughout the book with a surprise ending. Although there were multiple characters, the author made sure each character was presented well for that scene so the reader knew who was speaking. This book was definitely a page turner and kept the reader engaged until the very end to find out who the murderer was. This was my first read from this author, and I will definitely read more in the future. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
