The Woman Who Lied: An Intriguing Psychological Thriller with a Chilling Twist―Get Ready to be Hooked

“So cleverly plotted and brimming with tension.”—Gillian McAllister

“First-rate suspense . . . hard to put down.”—Shari Lapena

A bestselling detective novelist and her family are in danger when chilling events from her novels begin happening around her in this gripping thriller from the British sensation—the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girls Who Disappeared and The Couple at Number 9.

Emilia has a dream life. But someone knows the truth . . .

Emilia Ward lives in suburban London with her husband, their young son, and a teenager from her first marriage. Emilia is an ordinary mom—and she’s also the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels.

But when writing her tenth—and most difficult—book, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident mimicking the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, right?

Until it happens again. And again.

Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing.

Why is someone doing this?

What do they want?

How could they possibly know what she’s thinking—and writing?

Is Emilia and her family next?

This was pretty good. Lots of twists and deliberate red herrings. That got old and dizzying. But a good story.
