Summary

When Ben and Juliette's young daughter dies in a tragic accident on a school trip, they begin searching for answers. But will they ever know the truth? What was the role of the teacher on the trip - and are the rumours about his past true? As Ben and Juliette search for the truth and the pressure rises, their own secrets and motivations are revealed.... An Honest Deceit is an intelligent and gripping contemporary psychological thriller that questions not just the motives of others, but the real reasons for discovering the truth.

Intelligent and enjoyable listen

Really enjoyed this book. Coverups happen all the time and it is a reminder that evil wins when good men don’t stand up and speak the truth. I enjoyed the searching insight into grief and the effect it has on relationships. Excellent

Too ridiculous

Had to give up on this as the portrayal of the school and the way leaders behave is ridiculous. We don’t privatise schools in England so we can put fees up - what’s that all about? There’s also no way Ben could have been treated so badly - has the writer never heard of unions? All in all irritatingly ignorant of how schools actually function.

Fabulous!

Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. Loved the beautiful English used. And narrator Chris Reilly - possibly the best voice I have listened to so far. I find only 1 book (this one) by Guy Mankowski. Need more …….

depressing

I chose this book because of the reviews, now I'm on chapter 15 so I've given it quite some time but omg I now feel as though I'm in deep depression and it's so slow. I gave it a shot but now I need an upbeat book 📖

Utterly frustrating

This is a sad story - well narrated but the school related elements are utter nonsense. Yes there are corrupt leaders and most certainly corrupt practices especially in academies but you couldn’t haul a teacher up against a regulatory body for admin errors or not taking breaks. He’d also have been suspended on full pay. So ridiculous - you want to scream at the book which spoiled it. The story could have been told without such ridiculous elements.

Great story and characters

A well crafted story and scary that normal people’s lives can be ruined by psychopaths.
