Just One Lie: A gripping psychological thriller with a nail-biting climax Kindle Edition
Alison loves being a mother which is why she is finding it so hard to come to terms with the recent loss of her baby daughter. She still has her young son Adam whom she adores, but the grief is always there…
Everyone can see she is struggling.
And they don’t know the half of it. Alison has a terrible secret she has never shared with anyone – not even her husband, Dan. She knows if he ever discovers what she did, her family will be destroyed forever.
But someone seems to know, because Alison gets a sinister message. And then bad things start to happen – her website is hacked, her business is sabotaged, there’s a fire in her home… then more threatening messages.
Alison is in no doubt that someone means to destroy her by exposing her to the world. But who? And why?
Can she discover the truth before it’s too late? Or is the terror that fuels her sleepless nights about to become all too real?
Just One Lie - a gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist. Perfect for fans of Sarah Denzil, K.L Slater and Sue Watson.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI did enjoy reading the book and would like to give it a 5, but it was so confusing to me until I was at about 3\4 quarters way through when the two stories come together. Once that happened it made since and became more enjoyable. Secondly, it was difficult to stay with a character who blamed everyone for everything. She was just too wishy washy for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved the whole story, the intricacies, the characters and the length. But it didn't occur to me that the mother.in.law from hell wasn't our protagonist and that it was her son and Adam who had drowned and she began taking care of her daughter.in.law. so it was that scooting back and forth that confused me but by the last part of the story it made sense.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThough the title did intrigued me - I did find that the book started out slow for me my attention wasn't grapsed so it toke me alittle while to get into it but when I started trying to figure out how these
women figured into the story and the lie it did finally get my attention and I was quickly able to finish. But for some reason I still feel like there's a missing lie since the beginning makes it seem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twists
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLoved this from starts to finish, loads of twists and turns, very nail biting, and the ending, was amazing.
This is the 3rd book I've read by this author, and they have all been 5* reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that's difficult to put down!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe more that I read, the more lies that I found out about but still kept hoping to find a solution to the problem. This kept me reading and suspecting more and different characters in the story. Hence, I had to keep reading until the surprise ending ( love these!) revealed the real truth sorted from all the lies!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking Psychological Thriller
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really loved how the tale is spun, very nice pace and thrill at every page. Unbelievable as to how a non-murderous-crime story can be written in such a thrilling mysterious way. Totally loved it, hooked me from the start to finish!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story albeit a bit drawn out & long
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a really good story. Struggled at times to work out who's who but that said, it's a good thriller & I would recommend.
