What Lies Between Us

ITW Thriller Award winner

International Book Awards winner

Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.

They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can't ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn't know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way--even if it kills her.

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

WOW!!!! What a great read! psycho thriller indeed. Kept me engaged and I did not want to book the book down. I was hoping for a different ending. I don't want to say too much to give it away but great! And the narrators' voice was perfect! The Characters were splendid. I must read author for sure. Looking forward to other writings of his....

Intriguing, disturbing and a little far fetched, but entertaining.

While I understand a mothers fierce need to protect their child. How does anyone feel so self assured in the series of decisions Maggie makes. The dual POV and the jumping back and forth timelines made the book a page turner!
