Resumen del Editor

Tia never harmed anyone. So why does someone want to destroy her?

Tia is walking home with her children, along the lakeside of their quiet, safe town, when she realizes 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.

"Mummy, why did you kill someone?"

Tia knows how rumors 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Oooh!…. Another stunning read from the very talented Shalini. Boy has she done it again!" (Nicki’s Book Blog)

One of Us is Lying

A fantastic listen/read. Always love the stories and the human interaction. You are always guessing what is going to happen next, a very enjoyable book. I love this author and am always looking for her new books. The narration is excellent, bringing the characters alive.

Never disappoints

Very well written. Filled with suspense! I typically listen to audio books at night to help with sleep. This time, my method didn't work. I listened to this book about six months ago, i listened again thinking I'd be able to fall asleep but it was like listening for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Love the writer and favorite narrator.

1-click author does it again!

Shalini Boland, will your psychological thrillers ever fail to amaze me? No, I think not!

"One of Us is Lying" was another page-turner (or binge-listen in my case), and I'd expect nothing less from one of my favorite *1-click* authors!

Tia, Kelly, and Fiona are childhood best friends, all grown up and mostly as close as ever. Tia and Kelly each have families of their own, while Fiona, forever career-oriented, makes up half of an outwardly perfect power couple. When rumors start to form, unbelievable photos pop up, and reputations come into question, it doesn't take long for these friends to start doubting each other and everyone around them. You'll have to read it yourself to find out just how it all unravels!

Shalini certainly knows how to write 'em! This particular story is told through three main narratives, along with glimpses into a past event that sneaks up every few chapters. "One of Us is Lying" was another one of those books that kept me interested the entire time and made me want to knock some sense into a few of their heads! While I wasn't completely pulled towards one character or another, I appreciated what each of them brought to the metaphorical table. Tia's persona was driven to protect her family, no matter the cost. Kelly desired to help those in need, even at the risk of her family. While Fiona craved peace and success. Perhaps if they'd all confided in each other, to begin with, they'd have figured out how everything connected a lot sooner - luckily for me, they didn't, as that would've shortened things up way too fast for my liking!

Now, if you're looking for a binge-read with an ending you won't entirely expect, then look no further! Thank you to the author, the publisher Bookouture and Netgalley, for my complimentary ebook copy of "One of Us is Lying"! I also purchased the paperback and audio format of this title as Shalini Boland is a favorite, and I love following along in multiple ways, depending on my mood! I'd like to note, Katie Villa was an excellent narrator for this piece of work! I have voluntarily and honestly reviewed this title as four stars.

dd

loved the book ...story line was easy to follow I may read the book again.

Perfect suspense

Loved it! The mystery building through the story drawing you more and more in.

Outstanding

I absolutely loved it. I couldn't have guessed the end if I tried! This makes me excited for my third book! She keeps me guessing I love that!

Once I realized it was 3 families I was following it was great!

Great suspenseful story line. I thought it was hopping all over and then realized it was three families we were following haha.

Like a good puzzle?

You're given all the pieces that don't come together until the very end. Looking forward to the sequel!

Entertaining

Not 5 star material in my opinion but I don't regret listening to this book at all! I think I will take the advice given about THE SECRET MOTHER

Not my favorite

Not the best book from this author, but a good read. Love the author though
