About this listen

This was no accident…

Haunting, compelling, this psychological thriller will have you hooked. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl and Daughter.

Best friends are there for each other through thick and thin. You trust them with your life. At least that’s what Emma, Daisy, Leanne and Al think. But all that changes when they embark on a trip of a lifetime together. When they return home, only two of them are left alive and the group has been torn apart by lies and deception.

Many years later, when the dust has settled and life has moved on, one girl receives a threatening letter. Someone knows the truth about what happened on that holiday and will stop at nothing to expose it …

‘I was gripped from start to finish. Everyone should read this book!’ Lucy Robinson

‘This fast, twisty psychological thriller has suspense on every page!’ Paula Daly

‘Gripping and terrifying’ Julie Cohen

‘One of the best books I've read in ages – the tension never lets up until the final pages. Page-turning suspense ratcheted up with every new scene. Sub-plots woven in effortlessly. Brilliant – my heart was racing as I drew nearer and nearer to the ending.‘ Mel Sherratt

.... But compulsive listening as the story went on. It's worth sticking with.

I starred this at least 3 times but in the end just continued listening hoping I would make some sense of story. Thankfully it proved worth while!

Slow start ....

OK, we get it, the narrator does accents. I got so sick of the cod voices I wanted to scream. The story is fine, nothing astounding but a decent listen, but I couldn't wait to get rid of the women's voice!

Decent story made irritating by narrator

all the way through the book you're expecting a huge ending, you never get it, it's flat and largely uneventful

promises much delivers little

Really enjoyable listen

The Lie, weaves it's way between the past and the present very skilfully. Definitely worth a listen.

A really good book

this wasn't my favourite audiobook I have to say. Maybe it was just me, but I wasn't keen on the Narrator. The story line was good but I thought it was dragged out a bit.

it was just okay

I did enjoy the book but the narration was jarring! when she switched between characters it was cringeworthy. I felt it detracted from the story

great story, terrible narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story was truly amazing with edge of your seat moments and unpredictable twists and turns. The only downfall was the god awful narrative is was so painful and her accents where embarrassing

Amazing story awful audio performance
