About this ebook

‘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 Liane Moriarty and Cara Hunter.

Connie, the heroine, was totally unsympathetic. Unprofessional and gormless. Quite a wordy book. I waited for her to redeem herself, sadly it didn't happen.

What a fantastic read!! Very well written with lots of twists and turns. A very dark subject matter, so great to see it written from different perspectives. I will definately be reading Sams previous books.
