This is one of those books, just as soon as you think you have the plot figured out, you are hit from the left field with a twist... wow, this was a thrilling read, and worth each and every minute you read it.

Tia, Fiona, and Kelly all have secrets and someone is out to make those secrets public. Secrets that could end marriages and break up friendships, but who is behind this all? This is a quick read, and the ending is tied together nicely. I have never read a book by Shalini Boland before, but this definitely will not be the last. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my fair and honest review.

The Woman Who Lied is another cracking read from the incomparable Shalini Boland. I know that when I pick up this author's latest offering all else will cease to exist as I scramble to get to the bottom of a well-crafted and gripping mystery, and this latest proved to be no exception. This is another brilliant read from an author who, for me, can do no wrong.

Tia, Kelly and Fiona are three friends who are all dealing with the fallout from a change of circumstances in each of their lives. Tia is stunned when her young daughter, Rosie, tells her tearfully that some of her schoolmates are referring to her mommy as a murderer. Fiona is being audited, and is clearly hiding some secrets of her own. And Kelly, a recent widow with a generous heart, has agreed to harbour a stranger in her home, fearing for the woman's safety as she flees an abusive husband. Three women, all of whom find themselves at the receiving end of anonymous and threatening texts. Someone has decided to upend their well-ordered lives, and it might be someone closer than any of them would ever expect.

I was thrilled to receive an ARC of this novel, and am already anxiously awaiting the next page-turner from the talented Ms Boland.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture.

Another stunner from this author. I was so excited to see she had a new book out..and wasn't disappointed. Tons of I couldn't believe it moments. Took my time..a day..lol reading this beauty. 5 stars all the way from beginning which hooked me to the very last page.
She can't write them fast enough I already want more!!!

Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for an early release if this book.

This is a story that flicks between three friends, Tia, Fiona and Kelly. All three women are quite different in personalities. Whilst their lives may not be exactly perfect, I am sure others would be quite envious. It doesn’t take long before their friendship is put to the test.

Kelly was the one that I felt most connected to. I felt a certain amount of empathy for her and her character appealed to me the most. It was good to get to know the women better and to see that the lives of people that we can be envious of, isn’t as gold tinted as we think they are.

The story line had me hooked, just as I would expect from this author. There is always something going on, making sure it gets my full attention. I can never read her books quick enough, waiting for the shocking revelations to hit me. Those moments have me re-reading and taking delight in the excitement it brings.

The Woman Who Lied is an enthralling story that leaves you gasping for air. It will consume you until you know just who is behind all the strange going on’s. If you haven’t read anything by this author, then you really should. Be warned though as her books are highly addictive and when you start one, you won’t be going anywhere until you get to the last word.

Tia’s daughter is distraught at school. It turns out that some older boys had been saying things about Tia- that she killed someone, something she denies. Tia’s friend Fiona runs a successful interior design business and is horrified when two representatives from HMRC appear to do a full audit. She has been rather disorganised recently and not opened some of her post- letters that would have given her ample warning. She is alarmed at what is happening and more to the point why? Tia’s other long time friend Kelly found a young woman in her garden looking very upset and apparently hiding from someone. She takes her in for food and shelter as she is loathed to involve the police for some reason. Who is she and what is Sophie running from? When Tia gets a package of pictures she doesn’t remember it appears that someone is determined to ruin her life but why? Each of them appear to have their own secrets and occasional chapters take us back in time to where something else was going on. Oooh!! Shalini has done it again! That tension, the tantalising nuggets that are carefully and cleverly woven through the story without giving too much away. Each of the three main characters having her own nuance, that “je ne sais quoi” that casts just a slight shadow. One to tease and tantalise you, bewitch you and captivate you. Another stunning read from the very talented Shalini. Boy has she done it again!.
