About this ebook

From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes, now a Netflix sensation! WARNING: Will keep you up all night Lisa tells lies.

Most of them are small white lies intended to make the life of her daughter, Ava, easier.

But her biggest lie of all about to be exposed.

Because Lisa is lying to everyone.

Lisa isn’t who she says she is.

Lisa isn’t even called Lisa at all.

Her real name is Charlotte Nevill and as a child she was convicted of the brutal murder of her half-brother, Daniel.

Someone out there knows the truth. They’re determined to make Lisa pay. And they won’t stop until everything she loves is destroyed.

Ratings and reviews

100% recommend this book, couldn''t wait to have chill out time so I could carry on reading it, was so much better than watching TV and for me that's a massive statement!

I really like this author and this was the second book I've read. The child and adult personas of Charlotte / Lisa are difficult to reconcile with and even like but as the story progresses it creates empathy for the character. Possibly an obvious ending - was expecting more of a twist but I did really enjoy the read.

Like all psycological thrillers but honestly, how could she not have recognised her? And do 16 year olds really still let themselves be groomed? And I got confused about Jon and keys..... Still, not the worst I've read
