So I seem to have arrived late to the Boland party, something I regret (you’ll be pleased to know that I intend to rectify my tardiness post haste). This is a densely plotted book and very cleverly written. The start drew me in with the biggest hook. Out of the mouths of babes, the truth or a version of it – but which one? Boland = Breath-taking.

Brilliant story of friendship and the complications that sometimes have to be solved! Abuse, deceit, fear, despair! And ultimately how resilient human beings are in the face of adversity! Loved it!

This is my first book by this author and I was blown away. I will definitely need to read more.

A story about three friends and written from the varying points of views. It has a great storyline and like all good thrillers a few twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I felt absorbed into the friends lives and the characters really came to life for me

I always enjoy reading Shalini Boland’s books and I was delighted to receive a copy of her new book One Of Us Is Lying.
Three women who have been friends from school are having problems.
Anonymous messages and threats sent to their phones. Someone is out to make their lives a misery.
Each of the women have something to hide so don’t confined in their friends about what is happening to them.
A psychological thriller that I didn’t want to put down.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my e- copy in exchange for an honest review.

Tia, Fiona and Kelly have been friends forever, they share everything don't they? Now married to the love of her life with two children under six Tia suddenly realises they aren't as close as they used to be. Fiona is super successful and living the high life while Kelly is still grieving the death of her husband and trying desperately to help her two boys cope.

Although they still live within walking distance of each other, still chat, none of them know who to turn to or trust when life begins hitting them hard. Kelly will always help anyone who asks but who can she rely on when she needs a shoulder to cry on? Is history coming back to haunt them? They'd thought it sorted, but does the past ever truly stay buried? Could they be about to find out?

I enjoyed the way the author showed how time and experience changed the three close friends revealing little nuggests of their story through anonymous flashbacks before joining it all together at the very end. How we think we know someone, and what we can share with them, isn't always accurate and everyone has things they want to keep to themselves however tempting it is to share.

This is an easy read about friendship, trust, and the passage of time in a small town, seen through the eyes of three thirtysomething families with something to hide. There is one solution which was a struggle to believe but overall it was an enjoyable read worth taking a chance with. This is the third book I have read by this author and it definitely won't be the last.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller that can be read in one sitting. For entertaining, character driven fiction Shalini Boland is an author who can always be relied upon to deliver.

Remember back in the day, when you rushed to get an album without hearing even one song? That’s how I feel about a new Boland novel. Have to have it. Have to move to top of my reading pile. One of Us is Lying is now my favorite so far. As usual, it starts with a bang, surrounds a group of fascinating women and ends in a completely unexpected way. Told from all three perspectives, these women feel real and topical. The plot is surprising and I felt myself humming along in the final few chapters.

A twisty, fast read about 3 friends who are each going through their own personal troubles. They don't realize how closely connected their troubles are until the unexpected, expolosive ending. Highly recommend!

Tia, Kelly, and Fiona have been best friends since childhood. Now, they have families of their own and everything seems to be going well for them...until one day when Tia’s young daughter, emotional and crying, asks her why she killed someone. Tia has never done that, and from here things in each woman’s life take a turn for the worst.

I love author Shalini Boland so much, and am always a huge fan of her books. She manages to write fast-paced reads with wicked twists and interesting characters. This was a good read too, but not as much of a page-turner as her previous books have been. It’s not a problem though because I think what she succeeded at is delving into the lives of her characters and making you care for them and their stories, so the build up to the end was more subtle. I’m looking forward to her next great read.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC.

Three friends Fiona, Kelly and Tia are being harrassed by someone...but they are each so ashamed they keep it to themselves. As the story progresses there are hints as to who this may be and it all comes together at the end. I have read every single one of Bolands books and have loved them all. This one is no exception. She has great writing style and character development..and most of all...her stories are very unique
5 stars! I love this book.

As usual, Shalini Boland doesn't disappoint with another gripping thriller. It was good to get to know the characters and their lives and how they relate to one another. Will continue to read this author.

This is my 4th book by Boland. She writes quick thrillers and this one is no different. I liked this book and the different character perspectives and how it wall tied together in the end. I wasn't sure how it was all going to be connected so it had a good amount of suspense. It was three, seemingly completely different stories that became tied together at the end. The ending was believable wasn't just a dumping of the answers to all your questions. I liked that the last chapter was a few months later which helped to solidify the story.

I’m a massive fan of Shalini Boland and I’m proud to say I’ve read all of her books and they are all very much an addictive and gripping read!

One of us is lying is just that, it had me immediately intrigued from the first chapter and I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded and was told between the three friends points of views- who are all hiding secrets, but would they betray a life long friendship with each other??

Read and you will find out, you won’t be disappointed.

A big thank you to Netgalley and bookouture for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve loved all of Shalini’s books and this one is no exception, it’s brilliant! All the characters come to life, and it literally keeps you turning the pages until the end. I’d definitely recommend

This book follows the lives of three friends who have known each other since they were younger. From the start of the book, the reader is pulled into each of their secrets and keeps you wondering who and why is this happening. Another great book by Shalini Boland.

I have been addicted to Shalini Boland's books ever since I read the first one. The books are typically quick reads that keep my attention throughout. They always seem to have great plot twists and surprises around every corner. I will admit, this was not my favorite of her books. True, the characters were likeable, and I found myself sympathizing with Fi, but there was something missing.

The author eludes to something that happened in the women's past, and you can make a good guess as to what it is. Towards the end of the book the reader finds the truth. I did find the feelings of the characters (both good and bad characters) to be valid. I could see something like this happening in real life.

Another excellent stand alone novel by author Shalini Boland. This author always hooks me very early with her novels and this one was no different. Full of suspense and thrills, this is an excellent read.

The novel switches between three friends, Tia, Kelly and Fiona, women who though are all different are all experiencing difficulties. They are all struggling to deal with their issues and their friendship is put to the test.
The book is full of interesting characters and is typical of Shalini Boland's style with it's fast pace and suspense. This is definitely a page turner and a must for all lovers of psychological thrillers.

I would like to thank both Net Galley and Bookouture for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author for kindly letting me review a free copy of this awesome book. Ms. Boland is definitely one of my favorite authors. She knows how to develop a very engaging story. I love mystery and thrilling stories about friends and their secrets. I am always happy to have a new copy of Ms. Boland's book to start reading because I know I will love it!

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of One of Us Is Lying aka The Woman who Lied.

Loved this book! I don’t know why I haven’t read more from Shalini Boland because the two books of hers I have read, I’ve loved. Tia, Fiona and Kelly are three best friends who share one big secret, however they have many others they don’t share. Someone else knows all of their secrets though and is threatening them, but who is this person?? They get random things in the mail, texts from an unknown number, hear rumors spread about each of them and are getting nasty looks from people in town. Are all of these things connected? And what about Sophie, the young woman who shows up at Kelly’s house one day begging for shelter/help from, what Kelly assumes, is an abusive spouse? While getting further into the book the plot twist was a little bit predictable (I caught myself saying “I KNEW IT”) I still really enjoyed this book and might move on to another Boland book from my TBR pile next!

I enjoyed this book though at the beginning I kept having to look at which character I was reading until I got to know them.
iI was a bit fragmented but it does all come together I do think that the story could of develop more but it was an enjoyable read x
