Thea wakes from a coma, having forgotten much of the recent past. As well as learning to walk again, she studies the list of ‘facts’ she keeps on her phone, hoping something will unlock her memory. Her top three facts are:

I was in Italy

I was with the people I love the most

I fell down a ravine and I’m lucky to be alive


But as Thea gets hazy glimpses of the lead-up to her fall, the facts stop adding up. Trapped at home in the middle of the Irish countryside, dependent on those who were on holiday with her – her fiancé, her brother, her sister-in-law and her best friend – terrifying questions surface:

Was I pushed?

Why are they lying?

Who can I trust?


As memories come tumbling back, Thea realises she is in race against time to figure things out – and that her life hangs in the balance.'The most compulsive reading experience I’ve had this year.' Liz Nugent

‘Immersive and addictive with a tantalising drip-feed of detail that leaves readers desperate for more, All Of Them Lied firmly cements Gill Perdue’s place as one of Ireland’s top writers’ Andrea Mara

‘Gill Perdue is a great writer on a sentence level, on creating excellent characters and pulling off taut, gripping plots. I had SUCH a gorgeous time reading this’ Marian Keyes

I genuinely did not want this book to end, but I also could not stop listening because I had to know how it all unravelled. That is a very specific kind of torture that only the best thrillers can pull off and Gill Perdue pulls it off masterfully here.

The pace is relentless. The suspense builds layer by layer and never lets up. Without giving a single thing away, I will say that the premise is brilliantly constructed and the tension is sustained right through to the final moments.

Jessica Regan's narration is outstanding. She brings every character to life with real distinction and draws you so completely into Thea's world that you feel every moment of confusion, fear and dawning realisation alongside her.

From an author who never disappoints, this is fantastic!

Mediocre story. Can’t believe I paid €10 for it. So predictable. Cheesy writing. “His eyes brimmed like a mountain spring” .. his eyes brimmed was enough. Time filler if it’s free otherwise there are better stories out there.

Excellent narrator saved it.

Brilliant book

I have read/listened to any of this author’s book until this one.
So pleased I did ! Had to stop listening at times as so tense.

Extremely tense

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Just so boring, could have been half the length. Random side plots that didn’t go anywhere, unnecessary detail, no real plot twists. I pushed through because I hate DNF’ing but it was painful

Boring
