Summary

My name is Alice. And my son is a murderer.

Deborah’s son was killed four years ago. Alice's son is in prison for committing that crime.

Deborah would give anything to have her boy back, and Alice would do anything to right her son's wrongs.

Driven by guilt and the need for redemption, Alice has started a support group for parents with troubled children. But as the network begins to grow, she soon finds out just how easy it is for one little lie to spiral out of control....

They call it mother’s intuition, but can you ever really know your own child?

Deeply psychological and suspenseful, One Little Lie is a twisty and unnerving story about the price of motherhood and the unthinkable things we do to protect our children. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and Laura Marshall.

Critic reviews

"I read One Little Lie in one greedy gulp. A compelling thriller about the dark side of maternal instinct and love - I couldn't put it down!" (Isabel Ashdown)

"A kick-ass page turner.... I was knocked senseless by the awesome twist." (John Marrs)

"A gripping read which moved at a head-spinning pace.... I simply couldn't put this book down until I reached the dramatic and devastating conclusion. I've no doubt this will be one of the big reads of the summer." (Claire Allan)

Horrible

I don’t know why I continued with this book. Absolute waste of a credit! Don’t bother!
