Pre-release Review for 'The Lies We Told' by Camilla Way

Publication Date: 9 Oct 18

Alternating between the perspectives of Beth, a wife and mother in the mid-80s, and Clara, the girlfriend of a man who has disappeared in 2017, we find a twisted and shocking story of desperation, loss and fear. Beth's daughter, Hannah, is deeply loved......and deeply disturbed. As her behaviors become increasingly baffling and then deadly, Beth tries to protect her younger child, a son, from his ruthless sister, in vain as Hannah's increasingly hostile actions result in the death of both her husband and son in a fire set by Hannah and her subsequent disappearance. Disappearing at the same time is Emily, the sister of the man that Clara is living with and loves. When he too disappears she discovers that he has been cheating on her and lying to her. Despite this, she cannot rest until she finds him (Luke) and here Beth and Clara's worlds begin crashing together, releasing long-held secrets and part of the reason that people's lives continue to be at risk. A fast-paced, riveting read, you'll find yourself just as eager as Clara to unravel the truth behind Luke's disappearance, and just as shocked at the answer.
