He jumped to his death in front of witnesses. Now his wife is charged with murder.

Five years ago, Erin Kennedy moved to New York following a family tragedy. She now lives happily with her detective husband in the scenic seaside town of Newport, Long Island. When Erin answers the door to Danny's police colleagues one morning, it's the start of an ordinary day. But behind her, Danny walks to the window of their fourth-floor apartment and jumps to his death.

Eighteen months later, Erin is in court, charged with her husband's murder. Over that year and a half, Erin has learned things about Danny she could never have imagined. She thought he was perfect. She thought their life was perfect.

But it was all built on the perfect lie.

Without doubt my favourite Jo Spain book so far, and that's saying something - a fabulous page-turner that will keep you guessing and guessing

Grabs from the explosive opening chapter and pulls you in deeper with every page - a top-notch thriller

Jo Spain takes it to another level in The Perfect Lie. Intense, clever writing and packed with twists and turns. Loved it

The Perfect Lie had me completely fooled - such a brilliantly twisted plot that I just couldn't work out. And on top of that Jo Spain is still making us care so much about the characters. I loved this book and it deserves to fly to the top of the charts

This is domestic noir at its best . . . will have you captivated from the very first chapter

Chilling and all too plausible . . . with some expertly done twists

This book grabs you by the throat on the first page and holds you there until you are dropped like a stone on the last

It's so good that you will not want it to end

A jewel of a thriller

Be warned: this book will keep you up all night!

A great page-turner

There's plenty to keep you guessing in this one, we would expect nothing less from thriller master, Jo Spain

Thoroughly absorbing throughout

Braided together in flashbacks and flash-forwards, these three narrative strands deliver a drip-feed of revelations that work upon Erin like Chinese water torture, inexorably wearing away her illusions until all that remains is the defiance required to speak truth to power

A slice of suspense

Clear a few days in your schedule and pick this up - you won't want to put it down again

A superb suspenseful mystery for fans of gripping thrillers

Like a close-up magician, all the skill is in the art of distraction, in showing us what we want to see, and Spain pulls it off with style

Delivers a brilliantly layered tale where nothing is as it seems and, like Erin, you're soon questioning absolutely everything

The Perfect Lie….the perfect book!

I have had audible for a couple years, listened to tons of books….and have never written a review until now. This was hands down one of the best books I have ever read/listened to! Couldn’t take my ear buds out….made my runs longer to keep listening, couldn’t sleep last night not wanting to turn it off….it’s great & would definitely recommend it!

So Good!!!

I was hooked from the beginning. Such an intriguing and captivating story. Multiple threads that appear unrelated seamlessly come together to unveil a great twist and answers to so many questions. Character development was great. Definitely an excellent listen!

Narration was really good capturing all the characters, their nuances, and emotional range. Really added to how good the audio was!!

Wow just wow!

This author really impressed me. I almost want to read it again to see if I missed any clues! It had a believable story line. Surprise ending and great ending! Definitely recommend this book!

Had me riveted the entire time! Really well crafted with interesting characters that grew along the way. More please!
