About this listen

The book behind the hit BBC series.

"Any other year, summer arrived with the swallows. But this year, the broken body of a bird, left on the porch, serves as an omen of deception, a shadow cast over the days to come"...

Beth March’s life seems unexceptional: She and her husband, David, have a conventional, quiet marriage. The opening morning of the nightmare seems like just another day, aside from the unexpected body of the bird...but while Beth showers and prepares for the day, David drives his car at full speed into the path of a lorry. He is killed instantly. From the moment that Beth learns of his fate, her world begins to shatter around her. Nothing in her life can ever be the same again.

Was David having an affair? Why did he go behind her back to sell his shares and take out another mortgage - and where is that money now? What dark secrets lie beneath the picture-perfect image of the family down the lane?

As she unravels the chain of tragic events that preceded her husband’s death, Beth finds herself tossed from side to side on a sea of continually shifting information, never sure what is true and what is not. What seem like little white lies gradually begin to build and build until Beth truly begins to realise the horror of devastating betrayal experienced by everyone involved...

Little White Lies is an intriguing roller coaster of suspicion, deceit, and the quest for the truth.

Elizabeth McGregor began writing seriously when she won a short story competition in 1987. She has since had over 100 stories and serials published in the UK and abroad, and has worked for both magazines and radio. Little White Lies follows her first two novels, An Intimate Obsession and You Belong to Me.

Critic reviews

"A riveting page-turner, with totally believable characters and a good, fast-moving plot. A story of betrayal and anguish which lingers on in the mind" (Tim Manderson, Publishing News)
