let me lie

Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh, number one bestselling author of I Let You Go and I See You, is a compelling psychological thriller.

Anna’s parents died seven months apart, their deaths linked by suicide from the cliffs at Beachy Head in East Sussex, England.

Anna, now the mother of an eight-week-old baby girl, is still traumatised by their loss a year later.

When a card arrives bearing a cryptic message, Anna begins to question their deaths.

She decides to visit the local police station and speaks to Murray Mackenzie, who is manning the front desk. Murray, who retired from the force after 23 years as a detective, now works as a civilian. Despite the risk of losing his job, he decides to investigate Anna’s claim that her parents may have been murdered.

By initiating an investigation is Anna putting herself at risk?

Should she have let things lie?

Let Me Lie is a fast-paced novel with so many twists and turns that it will have you on the edge of your seat, heart racing, until the very end.

You won’t be able to put it down. A must read.

Let Me Lie was released in Australia on 15th March 2018 and available from your local bookshop.

ISBN:  9780751564877

Available in paperback, hardback and ebook.
