Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Loved this book! So many twists, turns and secrets revealed and the podcast was a great angle to get these unravelling. I couldn't stop reading. Can't wait for more from the author!

An enjoyable twisty novel, gripped me from the get go. I would not like many of these characters as my neighbours! Some very unlikable people, which makes for juicy reading.

Erica has been dead a year, after a tragic accident that taints the seemingly perfect image of the exclusive gated community Severn Oaks. Or was it an accident? A mysterious podcast doesn't seem to think so, declaring via the local schools social media they know what really happened. They promise to name 6 suspects and who the culprit was. But it isn't just the killer that has secrets.

I'm thinking we need a new genre name. This might be labelled a thriller, or maybe a mystery. Perhaps a domestic thriller. All wrong. I hearby create the EAT genre. Short for Everybody's A Twat. Because this is one of those novels where there just isn't one likeable character. Bit of a spoiler but this should be called Everyone is Lying!poiler but this should be called Everyone is Lying! There's no one to root for. But even so it's full of twists, turns and many surprises. Jenny Blackhurst has already proven with her track record she's a great writer and continues to do so with this novel.

Thank you Headline and NetGalley for this advanced copy and I'm sorry it took me so long to read
A brilliant book from start to finish, which I would highly recommend - twisty, turny and good characters. One word of warning, read this on a day you won't want to do anything else as you won't want to put it down.

Even though I did end up buying a physical copy of this book, I would still like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.

The whole plotline of this book was excellent!
A tightly-plotted, fast-paced read full of secrets and lies. There were a lot of characters so I did find myself getting a little confused, but none of them were massively likeable so it was easy to suspect every single one of them. I was constantly guessing, and changing my mind about who I thought was responsible, and I was still wrong! A read that definitely kept me on my toes!
Another read from this author that I definitely recommend! Very much looking forward to Jenny's next!

This was a very thrilling book. Imagine there is someone anonymous that knows your secrets and can broadcast them anytime anywhere. This sets the tone for this thrilling read, gripping from beginning to end. Recommended.

A great book from start to finish, I would highly recommend this to any and all thriller fans. Just a warning though: this book is hard to put down so make sure you dont have plans for the rest of your day!

4 Stars from me

I have loved reading this book - particularly so during our period of lockdown - as it is just like indulging in the juiciest, most fabulous, gossip-fest with your best friends!

Focusing around Erica Spencer who died a year ago - did she fall, was she murdered? - and set in a posh gated community in Cheshire, this story is sublime distraction from all that is going on in the world right now.

Instead, lose yourself in the drama of the Kaplans and their 'friends' in the posh streets of Severn Oaks... In fact, buckle up as you will be hooked within a couple of paragraphs - I know I was!

Someone is Lying is a fun and salacious whodunnit which pokes fun at all of the little stereotypes which exist within most groups of friends. It has affairs, secrets, murder, jealousy, wild parties and misdemeanours and I loved it!

I read this book months ago but totally forgot to update my review!

This was just an okay domestic psychological thriller revolving around a murder of a woman named Erica. The plot gets moving when a year after Erica's death a mysterious pod-caster starts revealing the secrets of her neighbors. Which obviously ends up causing a lot of conflict, mistrusts and chaos.

Honestly, I found the writing of this novel particularly hard to get into. Like I said, the plot was okay enough but I honestly, couldn't care less for any of the characters and their respective stories. This was my first book by Jenny Blackhurst and I do want to try more books by her but this wasn't for me.

I enjoyed this book.
It had similar themes to Big Little Lies. Set around a school and a community, exploring the ins and outs of peoples lives and dramas.
A good psychological thriller

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

Someone Is Lying is a really good psychological thriller that had me flying through to find out who the liar is.
The setting is a gated community in Cheshire, home to some well off residents, the majority being very close and spending weekends at each other’s parties and school events. The community was fractured a little after a Halloween party someone dies, but how did they die and was it an accident or was it murder? This was a good thriller the only down side for me was there were a lot of characters to get your head round and although the first few chapters try to get you familiarised with the characters, I did struggle for quite a while with who was living with who and the other things that were going on. The podcast I was a bit doubtful about as I haven’t read a book yet that this works in but in this book it does and does it well. I liked the reveal and how it all came together neatly at the end with no unanswered questions.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Headline for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first go with the authors work, but I can’t see it being my last! Intriguing, scarily believable and thoroughly addictive, this story twists, turns and thrills like a huge rollercoaster and keeps you guessing throughout!

I adored seeing how the plotline moved and developed along the away, and look forwards to returning to Jennys work!

At a Halloween party a year agoErica is found dead at the bottom of the tree house it was deemed an accident but was it ?
Now six people are named on podcast as it seems one of them had something to do with Erica’s death.
The friends become suspicious of each other and the secrets come pouring out.
Thanks NetGalley

The title of this book says it all "Someone Is Lying" and boy oh boy are there people lying here.

Think Desperate Housewives, Real Housewives, Big Little Lies and Cluedo add a dash of humour and you have the basis of this book. I loved it.

The story opens with Erica Spencer telling us about a Facebook post that has appeared on the school's page. The post is declaring they know the truth of what happened in a Halloween party in a gated community. Was an accident from a tree house really murder? Erica Spencer knows the truth. How? Well, because she's the one that got murdered.

What I liked about this book was the good ole murder mystery premise of a handful of suspects and plenty of motives. With each podcast that was posted there was a new secret and lie to uncover, and another suspect being exposed to their misdemeanor. The humour that was dotted around the story was excellent, just enough to keep it a gritty mystery without going over into naked gun territory.

The gated community residents of Severn Oaks seemed to think they were better than everyone else, but each one had their own secret. A fantastic read.

Someone Is Lying is a strong, dark psychological thriller filled with twists and plenty of suspense. Blackhurst's writing will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The characters are unlikable, but so fun to read about. The plot is excellent. Highly recommended to readers who enjoyed Big Little Lies.
