4.5 stars rounded up-One More Lie is an unpredictable thriller that catches the reader from the beginning. During college, Becky and her friends were awful to fellow classmate Pippa during a beach party and Pippa died. Years later, Becky is still haunted by Pippa’s death and wants to come clean about everything. Everyone else wants Becky to drop it but now some of the friends are dying. Becky is pregnant and her marriage is falling apart and now someone tried to burn her house down with her in it. Told in alternating views between friends with the biggest focus on Becky, the story twists and turns with multiple suspects as the suspense keeps building. I thought I had everything figured out by the halfway point but the ending completely blindsided me! My voluntary, unbiased, and non-mandatory review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.

Another great read from Sheryl Brown, all through the book, I had so much sympathy for one of the main characters despite her being too trusting and a bit naive, it certainly brings the reader on a twisty path before a great ending. The author certainly knows how to keep her readers engaged and like all her other books, this is another 5 star read.

If you want suspense, twisty and thrilling , yes to this book, say yes!! Had me thinking the whole way through and just couldn't put my finger on who. Great no fantastic twist I never saw coming. Loved everything about this book but then again Sheryl Browne never ceases to amaze me that her books just keep on getting better and better.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

Woo hoo! The amazing Sheryl Browne does it again! Knocked this one right out of the park. A domestic thriller packed with secrets and lies. I had zero idea who to trust. Characters were easy to relate to, some I loved, a couple I loved to hate. I read this in one afternoon, could not put it down. Don’t let this one pass you by.
Thank you NetGalley, Sheryl Browne and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This must be the plot of the year....or the last few years. Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting into books like this. A bunch of friends gather for a party, someone dies, they all agree to keep a secret, and later in life someone comes back to kill them all. Not much suspense. not much to it. Predictable. The writing is very basic. Sheryl's books either seem to be mediocre for me or i love them. This one is just ok.

A gripping read with an interesting storyline.
Well written characters although some not very pleasant.
Having said that i did catch onto the twist and this is not my favourite from this author.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

I realised something whilst reading this book. Often the psychological thrillers are about a group of friends who have known each other since university and they all have been keeping a secret for many years. I wonder if real life groups of friends have similar experiences?

In this story the friends have all decided to keep their secret under wraps. In doing so they are protecting each other. It went well, until now... Is someone afraid their reunion at this devastating event will trigger someone to start talking and has decided to take action?

The author leads us through a suspenseful story until we arrive at the place we want to be: the revelation of what really happened. Was I surprised? Of course I was! I do have to admit there was one person I trusted completely until I didn't anymore. Was I right in doing this or did I totally miss the ball? I have to pat myself on the shoulder. I was right, but wrong about all the rest. :)

A great book, as per usual by this author. 5 stars

Thank you

The story revolves around a central character who finds herself embroiled in a series of events that challenge her perception of reality and the people she thought she knew. As the plot unfolds, readers are introduced to various characters whose motives are shrouded in mystery. The protagonist’s journey is marked by unexpected twists and turns, leading to shocking revelations.

Browne excels in character development, providing depth to each individual in the story. Readers witness their struggles, fears, and desires, making it easy to empathize with their situations. The protagonist’s evolution throughout the book highlights her resilience as she confronts her.

Key themes explored include the fragility of trust, the impact of deceit on relationships, and the psychological toll of living with secrets. Browne skillfully examines how one lie can lead to another, creating a domino effect that can have devastating consequences.

With its fast-paced narrative and intricate plotting, “One More Lie” is an unputdownable read for fans of psychological thrillers. Sheryl Browne’s ability to craft suspenseful scenarios while exploring profound emotional themes makes this book a standout in its genre.

This was a pretty good book! I do think it was a bit YA and juvenile for me. I think the mystery was pretty good, but the ending was far too predictable. I hate when I can guess the ending, and this one was pretty easily guessable


Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 18th Nov. Another fantastic book by Sheryl Browne! Wow this book was spine tinging, addictive, tense and fast paced I couldn’t put it down!

It had a rollercoaster of a plot with many twists and turns along the way! The characters were an interesting bunch I liked the dynamics between the two in particular these were Becky and Tom.

The plot explored some key questions such as manipulation in relationships but also when people lie and why they do this (all will be revealed when you read it)

I’d highly recommend this book it’s a must read. I stayed up till 2am to finish it need I say more!
