Lying With Truth
From Ireland to Australia, past to present, a family saga of truth, lies, love and intrigue.
Until you’re asked, you may never tell...
Lucie Woods is honest, isn’t she? It turns out, like so many others, that she’s been lying to herself for a very long time.
When an incident occurs at her children’s school, it sets in motion a string of events that sees her life torn apart at the seams. Karma acts fast, barely giving her a moment to breathe before delivering a string of gifts, if you can call them that. Bad things usually happen in threes, but when her misfortune reaches beyond this number, it’s time to face that the truth is beginning to inch its way to the surface – and there’s nothing she can do to stop it.
Try as she might, Lucie can’t seem to face her demons – some cuts are just too deep. That changes after a chance encounter with a total stranger. Doug Offer takes an interest in Lucie and by asking the right questions, he helps her to unlock the truth of her life – past, present and future. But is Doug a stranger? Or is that one coincidence too many?
The truth is going to hurt, but Lucie’s willing to take the agony to protect those she loves most. But as she’s about to discover, once the truth is unleashed, it isn’t easy to put it away again. Surely, reserving one small secret won’t hurt, will it? Just a good liar? In denial? Or completely innocent? Which one is Lucie?
A journey that will take you from past to present, from Ireland to Australia – the truth is never simple, but perhaps it’ll set Lucie free, if she’s finally willing to tear off the plaster and stop lying with truth.

This could be my favourite of the trilogy! Kept me to the very end with all the twists and turns. Lovely story and characters developed so well. Really enjoyed the 3 books and looking forward to where the 4th book will take us next year.
