About this ebook

I’ll do anything to protect my daughter…

When I pick my beloved daughter Poppy up from school one afternoon, my mind races when I see the little girl holding Poppy’s hand. With the same heart-shaped face, long brown hair and dark eyes, the two girls look identical. In fact, they look like sisters.

Is the secret I’ve been holding on to for so long about to be revealed?

That night, I cuddle Poppy even harder, desperately trying to decide what to do. And then my husband’s phone vibrates. A message. And then another. And another. All from a number I don’t recognise.

Is someone going to tell my husband what I did? Could I be about to lose everything I have worked so hard to protect?

But I’ve spent so long hiding the truth, I never stopped to wonder if I was the only liar in the family… The only thing I’m sure of is that nobody is going to take my child away from me.

If you can’t get enough of addictive psychological thrillers like Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Marriage, you’ll love The Liar’s Child. With nail-biting suspense and an ending that will make your heart pound, this is one book you simply won’t be able to put down.

Ratings and reviews

I normally love this author but I was not impressed with this book, although well written, I don't like books about really sick children. I did not like the characters nor the storyline and I felt the dialogues were weak and not very credible. Sheryl's books are normally full of drama and suspence but not this one.

this book was quite frustrating and repetitive. the wife and husband are angry at each other for no reason. And the ending doesn't explain things very well. I usually love this author.

I enjoyed reading this book... It was a domestic thriller... Frustrating at times how silly the main married couple were not even talking to each other just presuming they knew the truth... But was a good read... Quite predictable at times but it didn't stop me enjoying the storyline... All in all its worth 4 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
