About this listen

 Eighteen years ago Martha said goodbye to best friend Juliet on a moonlit London towpath.
The next morning Juliet's bike was found abandoned at the waterside.
She was never seen again.

Nearly two decades later Martha is a TV celebrity, preparing to host a new crime show... and the first case will be that of missing student Juliet Sherman. After all these years Martha must reach out to old friends and try to piece together the final moments of Juliet's life.

But what happens when your perfect friends turn out to be perfect strangers...?

Critic reviews

Praise for BEAUTIFUL LIARS, a gripping, twisty psychological thriller - for fans of THEN SHE WAS GONE by Lisa Jewell, CLOSE TO HOME by Cara Hunter, THE CHILD by Fiona Barton, and I AM WATCHING YOU by Teresa Driscoll:

Beautiful Liars is twisty, gripping, and utterly unpredictable.'
Beautiful Liars is a psychological thriller, but it's a lot more than that, too - it explores themes of friendship, of memory, of our pasts and of the lengths we'll go to in order to belong. This is a great character-driven mystery that's as enjoyable as it is satisfying.
A gripping exploration of friendship and twisted family secrets. Highly recommended.
A scarily well-drawn narrative about the dark underside of friendship, the lies we tell ourselves, and the way memory distorts reality. Gripping, clever and beautifully written, Isabel Ashdown's star is about to soar.
A great, twisty thriller, carefully plotted and beautifully written.
A tangled web of secrets and lies.
A brilliant story of friendship and lies with a twist I never saw coming.
Beautiful Liars is a real cracker of a book. I lost count of the twists and yet each worked perfectly. Ashdown is brilliant at hiding clues in plain sight, making for a gasp-out-loud, deeply satisfying read. Her books are getting better and better, which is no mean feat.
A craftily plotted, intricate read. Highly recommended.
I absolutely loved Beautiful Liars - it genuinely gripped me immediately as it was so fantastically written with intriguing, vivid characters and I couldn't wait to see how it would all unfold. Brilliant twists which I most definitely did not see coming!
I've been addicted to Isabel Ashdown's writing for some time now and 'Beautiful Liars' had me hooked from the beginning. If you start reading this book, you'd better free up some time till you're done because you won't want anything to distract you. 'Beautiful Liars' is an expertly plotted and compelling story, with friendship at its core and an intriguing mystery that has haunted its characters, blighting their lives for years.
Very clever and kept me guessing
Lies, secrets, murder and the enduring power of true friendship. I really enjoyed Beautiful Liars and couldn't stop turning those pages. Gripping stuff'

Good narration. Overall enjoyable. Wasn't in love with the main character. Fairly gripping. Didn't spot the murderer but if you go on the premise it's the least likely not a total surprise. The other relationship seemed pretty obvious just had to wait for the main character to catch up and get it too. Very good without being great.

pretty good thriller
