‘Totally mesmerizing! I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor… had my heart pounding so hard I thought it would burst! Totally amazing and brilliant!’ Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tia is walking home with her children, along the lakeside of their quiet, safe town, when she realises something is wrong with her five-year-old daughter, Rosie. She seems troubled, not at all her usual happy self.

But when Tia finally coaxes Rosie to open up, she wishes she hadn’t. Because her sweet daughter asks a question Tia never thought she’d hear.

‘Why did you kill someone?’

Tia knows how rumours spread around her small town. She just can’t understand who would have shared such a horrible story. Or why.

It can’t have anything to do with what happened. Only her two best friends really remember that…

Tia thought she could trust Fiona and Kelly with her life. They’ve been through so much together. But when she’s sent photos of herself that could tear her whole world apart, she starts to wonder. Someone is determined to punish her. But who? And will her friends stand by her, or will the past destroy all of their lives?

From the million-copy-bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this absolutely addictive psychological thriller is guaranteed to make you gasp. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and Big Little Lies this book is for you.

A fast paced thriller with unexpected plot twists
Thanks to #netgalley and #bookouture for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. This isn't my first time reading a Shalini Boland book and she has become one of my auto buy authors. Her books just never disappoint me. This is a fast paced thriller centering on 3 friends Kelly, Tia and Fiona. They have a past secret that has bound them together as lifelong friends. The story is woven together from the perspectives of all 3 ladies which gives the reader the opportunity to get to know them all as individuals and to see their friendships with each other. None of the 3 ladies lives are as perfect as they appear to the outside world and they soon start to feel that someone/people are out to get them when things start going wrong in all of their lives. A psychological domestic thriller that had me captivated from the very beginning. With plot twists I did not anticipate, just when I thought I had it worked out, I was so wrong! #shaliniboland #bookouture #netgalley #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #litsy #bookstagram #amazon#kindle #bookqueen #thriller #plottwists

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Us is Lying...by Shalini Boland.. 3 Friends with a secret past
Reviewed in Australia on 18 June 2020
Verified Purchase
Tia, Kelly and Fiona .. all friends from their school days.
All three are being harassed and feeling threatened, but why?
All three keep this a secret not to share with the other two.
Who else knows about their past?

Tia lives with her husband, along with their two children. The perfect life.. until she hears of the rumours circulating about her.
Kelly is a widow doing her utmost to provide for her two children, and Fiona is married, seemingly wanting for nothing, and living the dream.
This is a book of secrets and lies, gossip and suspicion, told in turn by the three women from their own point of view.

This is the 11th book I have read from this author and I have enjoyed every single one of them! Thank you

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read
Reviewed in Australia on 3 April 2020
This book is like a puzzle, in the beginning, it seems difficult, pieces are everywhere trying to find where they fit. Slowly as you begin putting the pieces into place you begin to see the story. This is a type of book that you want to keep reading, it is intriguing and it pulls you in. There are three main characters in the story; Tia, Kelly and Fiona. As teenagers, they experienced a traumatic event that they want to keep buried in the past but will bubble to the surface. Rumours are being spread and eventually, the truth will be found. I did like this book, I found that I was always looking forward to reading the next couple of chapters. There were a few 'ah-hah' moments coming towards the end of the book and it all made sense. A cleverly written story!

Shalini Boland is a writer that always delivers. her twisty, psychological thrillers are addictive, quick reads and One Of Us Is Lying ticks all those boxes and more.

Strange things start happening and they start receiving threatening messages. Whoever it is is determined to make them pay for what they did, to destroy their lives. But who is it?

Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for mt advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspensful read
Reviewed in Australia on 5 April 2020
One of Us is Lying by Shalini Boland is a fast-paced, engaging and suspenseful read. Long-time friends Tia, Fiona and Kelly all have something to hide. When one-by-one their secrets come to the forefront, they no longer know who they can trust. Everyone is suspicious. Everything is suspicious. Their friendships, already faded by time and circumstance, are increasingly put to the test, and so too are their lives as they try to get a foothold in their rapidly changing world.

It's well written and a definite page-turner.

Not for me. I felt the plot, the characters and the writing were stiff stereotypes lacking any depth or literary maturity.

I enjoy the settings she has, usually around water, southern England, south coast, and neighbouring countryside. Warm, cosy, and relatively affluent. The latest had a lakeside community and sailing as a background. The fluctuating trust and mistrust between three close friends is well drawn and makes the book a compelling read. I really like this author.
