You Lied First

The truth is, everyone lies. All that matters is who lies the best…'I was completely gripped by this Oman-set thriller, which blends fear of the unknown with human decision-making at its most dangerously flawed.' Louise Candlish'A multi-layered thriller in which no one can be trusted set against a stunning desert backdrop – absolutely loved it.' Catherine Cooper ‘Exotic, intriguing and utterly addictive’ MJ Arlidge

Sara is about to spend a week in a villa with people she barely knows.

She’s been invited to join her daughter, Liv, her boyfriend and his parents on their holiday. She can’t say no. After what happened, she’ll jump at any chance to spend time with Liv.

She tries to be the perfect guest, and they seem like the perfect hosts. But something about the Forrest family isn’t right.

By the end of the trip, someone will be dead. Lies will bind the rest of them together. But who can lie the best?

Utterly unputdownable, this gripping thriller is perfect for fans of TM Logan, Nikki Smith and Elin Hildebrand and Netflix's The Perfect Couple.
