Today I am delighted to be taking part in the blog tour for One More Lie by Sheryl Browne.

About the book

‘On the last day of school, my friends and I gather on the beach to celebrate the long summer ahead. Sipping cans of warm cider and watching campfire embers dance into the inky sky, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. Until a scream pierces the night. The next morning, we find shy newcomer Pippa on the beach, sandflies gathering on her lifeless body…

I told the police I didn’t see anything that night. I was young, scared, and full of guilt. I heard my friends telling the same story. It’s a lie that has haunted me ever since.

Now, twenty years later, on the anniversary of Pippa’s death, another one of our group is found dead. As we gather once again to say goodbye, I know it can’t be a coincidence. I look around at the tear-stained faces of my old school friends – people I thought I could trust – a protective hand on my growing belly. The police are asking questions again, and I have an impossible decision to make.

Do I tell one more lie, or confront my worst nightmare; that one of us is a killer, and one of us is next…

Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Girl on the Train will absolutely devour this page-turning psychological thriller. Prepare to be hooked from the very first page!‘

My thoughts

I love a good psychological thriller and One More Lie has many of the ingredients to be just that. It was a compelling read and once I started I wanted to know how it ended. The good thing about a digital copy is that you can’t (easily) flip to the end so no spoilers for me. The characters are just irritating enough to have you frustrated but not so much that you don’t care what happens. The tension is there from the beginning and it doesn’t really let up right the way through. At times I felt like I was watching in slow motion wanting to tell them to stop, can’t they see the danger they’re in! I love that. There is nothing you can do but read on and know that whatever happens you are safe and sound, just a spectator in the chaos and danger that surrounds them. I enjoyed the way the facts about what happened all those years ago are drip fed to you as the story moves on. An incident that has haunted a group of friends for years is finally catching up with them. Secrets, lies and plenty of gaslighting, this book kept me in suspense until the end.
