I am a big fan of this author and have enjoyed each and every single book she has written including her latest, "The Woman Who Lied"!

Three women, all friends since childhood, all with their own lives and secrets, all being targeted with threats and blackmail!

I found this to be a fast paced, enjoyable read that quickly sucked me in. I highly recommend this author and can't wait to see what she comes up with next! Keep them coming Shalini!

A huge thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book! Greatly appreciated!

I really enjoyed this one. The characters felt real and I especially liked Ed, it's refreshing for a psychological thriller to feature a decent, supportive husband.

I did guess where the book was headed and who was behind everything fairly quickly, but there were other little mysteries that I hadn't worked out and I enjoyed seeing how all the women navigated their situations.

One little gripe is that Ryan's age seemed to alternate between eleven and twelve, but overall I found the book to be very well written.

I would recommend this book to others.

I’ve lived everyone of Shalini Boland’s books so was thrilled to be approved for an advance copy of her new novel, The Woman Who Lied.

It follows the lives of Tia, Kelly and Fiona. Three childhood friends who remain living in the same small town. From the first page you are immediately drawn into the plot. First Tia’s daughter asks her why she killed someone and then compromising photos of her arrive at the house. Surely it can’t be to do with what happened in the past. Could it be her so called friends who she thought she could trust? This book takes you on a rollercoaster - the tension builds with each turn of the page. It’s billed as a psychological thriller and it certainly lived up to that. One of the best books I have read this year.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

This was exactly what I have come to expect from Shalini Boland . Fast paced , likeable leads , twists and turns and family secrets . Tia , Kelly and Fiona have been best friends since school , when all three of them are targeted by someone who seems to know their deepest secrets and fears you would think they would band together but the trust is not quite there and resentments simmer just below the surface . This was a great read , as usual finished it in one sitting . I did work out what was happening and why but that really didn't spoil my enjoyment . Yet another 5 star read , looking forward to the next !!

I loved this book!! The Woman Who Lied by Shalini Boland is a psychological thriller about three women, who have been friends since childhood. They all are keeping secrets from one another and their families. This book kept me guessing and I could not put it down till I finished it. I highly recommend this book to everyone who love thrillers you won’t regret it. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

Shalini Boland fires out another top read!

Three women - all with secrets. Yet, friends whose lives mesh a little too much...

Lots of suspense and twisty surprises... An unputdownable story.

What more can I say but - RECOMMEND!

Many Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this great book.

Loved this book! Once I started it I could not put it down until it was finished. So many twists and turns. Definitely worth reading

The Woman who Lied by Shalini Boland is a fantastic, suspenseful read that I didn’t want to put down. Three women – Tia, Fiona and Kelly have their lives turned upside down in their small community. It starts with a rumor that Tia is a murderer. Fiona has a tax audit going on that is scaring the life out of her and Kelly tries to help a stranger with horrible consequences.

All of these situations may seem small, but how is that three friends are having their lives ruined in less than a week’s time? Who can be out to get them? Someone believes each of these women has done something terrible. Did they? What did they do? Is this just a misunderstanding or are their lives carefully manicured to appear innocent?

The Woman who Lied is so, so good. I really didn’t want to put the book down and finished it in one day.

Another fantastic book from Shalini Boland. We see a narrative from three women who are friends, each telling the story from their perspective and showing that they are each keeping secrets. Things start to go wrong for them all and it seems that someone is causing trouble for each girl. Between rumours about them, tip offs, threatening messages and more, each woman wonders what is going on and why she is being targeted. They even begin to suspect each other and we are left wondering who is holding so much hatred and if the past is coming back to haunt them. As usual Shalini thrills us with twists, turns and suspense, and a really satisfying ending completes the perfect reading experience. A tense, gripping tale that also explores the importance of friendship, I can't recommend it enough. All of Shalini's books are captivating and addictive and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

This is one of those books, just as soon as you think you have the plot figured out, you are hit from the left field with a twist... wow, this was a thrilling read, and worth each and every minute you read it.
Recommended.

Tia, Fiona, and Kelly all have secrets and someone is out to make those secrets public. Secrets that could end marriages and break up friendships, but who is behind this all? This is a quick read, and the ending is tied together nicely. I have never read a book by Shalini Boland before, but this definitely will not be the last. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my fair and honest review.

The Woman Who Lied is another cracking read from the incomparable Shalini Boland. I know that when I pick up this author's latest offering all else will cease to exist as I scramble to get to the bottom of a well-crafted and gripping mystery, and this latest proved to be no exception. This is another brilliant read from an author who, for me, can do no wrong.

Tia, Kelly and Fiona are three friends who are all dealing with the fallout from a change of circumstances in each of their lives. Tia is stunned when her young daughter, Rosie, tells her tearfully that some of her schoolmates are referring to her mommy as a murderer. Fiona is being audited, and is clearly hiding some secrets of her own. And Kelly, a recent widow with a generous heart, has agreed to harbour a stranger in her home, fearing for the woman's safety as she flees an abusive husband. Three women, all of whom find themselves at the receiving end of anonymous and threatening texts. Someone has decided to upend their well-ordered lives, and it might be someone closer than any of them would ever expect.

I was thrilled to receive an ARC of this novel, and am already anxiously awaiting the next page-turner from the talented Ms Boland.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture.

Another stunner from this author. I was so excited to see she had a new book out..and wasn't disappointed. Tons of I couldn't believe it moments. Took my time..a day..lol reading this beauty. 5 stars all the way from beginning which hooked me to the very last page.
She can't write them fast enough I already want more!!!

Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for an early release if this book.

This is a story that flicks between three friends, Tia, Fiona and Kelly. All three women are quite different in personalities. Whilst their lives may not be exactly perfect, I am sure others would be quite envious. It doesn’t take long before their friendship is put to the test.

Kelly was the one that I felt most connected to. I felt a certain amount of empathy for her and her character appealed to me the most. It was good to get to know the women better and to see that the lives of people that we can be envious of, isn’t as gold tinted as we think they are.

The story line had me hooked, just as I would expect from this author. There is always something going on, making sure it gets my full attention. I can never read her books quick enough, waiting for the shocking revelations to hit me. Those moments have me re-reading and taking delight in the excitement it brings.

The Woman Who Lied is an enthralling story that leaves you gasping for air. It will consume you until you know just who is behind all the strange going on’s. If you haven’t read anything by this author, then you really should. Be warned though as her books are highly addictive and when you start one, you won’t be going anywhere until you get to the last word.

Tia’s daughter is distraught at school. It turns out that some older boys had been saying things about Tia- that she killed someone, something she denies. Tia’s friend Fiona runs a successful interior design business and is horrified when two representatives from HMRC appear to do a full audit. She has been rather disorganised recently and not opened some of her post- letters that would have given her ample warning. She is alarmed at what is happening and more to the point why? Tia’s other long time friend Kelly found a young woman in her garden looking very upset and apparently hiding from someone. She takes her in for food and shelter as she is loathed to involve the police for some reason. Who is she and what is Sophie running from? When Tia gets a package of pictures she doesn’t remember it appears that someone is determined to ruin her life but why? Each of them appear to have their own secrets and occasional chapters take us back in time to where something else was going on. Oooh!! Shalini has done it again! That tension, the tantalising nuggets that are carefully and cleverly woven through the story without giving too much away. Each of the three main characters having her own nuance, that “je ne sais quoi” that casts just a slight shadow. One to tease and tantalise you, bewitch you and captivate you. Another stunning read from the very talented Shalini. Boy has she done it again!.
