The Lies Between Us (häftad, eng)

'I loved how the fiendishly complicated back story unfolded and then how everything made sense in the end – so satisfying!' Marian Keyes‘A brilliant story about the cost of family secrets, the powerful bonds of sisterhood and how far we will go to protect the ones we love’ Edel Coffey‘An emotional thriller that will keep readers engaged from beginning to end … triumphant’ Irish Independent---This family lived a life before me.

And now I wonder if it was what happened in that life – all those secrets – that tore this family apart . . . not me. The warring Brown sisters. Lucy. Susannah. Tara. Each is haunted – by disgrace (Lucy), vanity (Susannah) and envy (Tara). Most of all they are haunted by secrets.

Just before a dinner at their mother’s idyllic holiday cottage, Susannah disappears. That same night a young woman is killed violently on a nearby beach. Amid the confusion the next morning, Lucy discovers a link between Susannah and the murder victim. Lucy must summon all she knows from her short-lived policing career to figure out the connection and find her sister.

But tracking down Susannah means Lucy confronting her own shame. It also means resurrecting ghosts that Susannah, Tara – and their mother – desperately want to keep buried. Even if Lucy finds Susannah, will the truth destroy them all?---'Outstanding. An accomplished, clever thriller .
