One More Lie

This chilling psychological thriller will hook you from page one




A thrilling new novel of psychological suspense from the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of The Innocent Wife.

______________
How do you live with yourself as an adult when you were convicted of murder as a child?

And when you can't remember the crime...
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE GUILTY?

Charlotte wants a fresh start. She wants to forget her past, forget her crime – and, most of all, forget that one terrible moment.

It’s the reason she’s been given a new name, a new life. The reason she spent years in prison.

But even on the outside, with an ankle monitor and court-mandated therapy, she can’t escape the devastating memory of the night that turned her and her only friend into national hate figures.

But now her friend has found her.

And despite the lies she tells to survive, she soon finds herself being dragged deeper and deeper into a past she cannot confront.

Even if it’s going to cost Charlotte her life...

Praise for One More Lie

Written with experience and style… a thriller, a chilling one an’ all

Frost Magazine

I'm a huge fan of Amy's writing and I read One More Lie pretty much overnight. I really felt I got under the skin of 'Charlotte's' character straight away, I could sense her disorientation and despite knowing that she'd been accused of a dreadful crime, I really felt for her struggles. This is another incredible book from Amy, which I know will do really well. I found it gripping, intriguing, sinister and it really had me hooked from the first page! I will definitely be recommending it to everyone!

Jo Spain

Wow! What a compulsive, chilling novel. Both Charlotte and Sean are so thoughtfully and believably drawn, I felt almost as if I was intruding on their most private of thoughts – it makes it a really sinister and yet ultimately tragic story. I will definitely be recommending it.

Phoebe Locke, author of THE TALL MAN

Dark, chilling and totally gripping... What I loved about this one is how skilfully Lloyd builds up an almost unbearable dread, and how the effects of time, lies and memory mix to make the ground always unsteady beneath our feet.

Catherine Ryan Howard

Bone-chillingly brilliant

Sunday Mirror

A remarkable book. With complex characters, a pacy plot and a real sense of menace that gradually builds up throughout the novel, this is one hell of a read. 5 stars.

CrimeSquad

A thought-provoking, heart-breaking tale. I couldn’t have loved it more.

The Sun

An evocative and stirring tale that really lingers in your mind

CultureFly

'I couldn't put this book down and read it in less than 48 hours. Amy Lloyd's second novel is a fast-paced psychological thriller full of scenes so tense they are almost claustrophobic [...] If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller that will keep you turning the pages, then this is it.
