A Mulher Inocente

Charlotte wil een nieuwe start maken. Met een enkelband om als voorwaarde voor vrijlating, maar toch. Maar als Sean weer in haar leven opduikt is het steeds moeilijker op het rechte pad te blijven. In de thriller Valse leugens (One More Lie) van Amy Lloyd is Charlotte de hoofdpersoon. Charlotte wil een nieuwe start maken. Met een enkelband om, als voorwaarde voor vervroegde vrijlating, maar toch. Ondanks haar therapiesessies, vervalt Charlotte toch weer in de oude patronen die haar eerder zo diep in de problemen brachten. En hoewel ze uit alle macht probeert het verleden te vergeten, wordt haar dat onmogelijk gemaakt door Sean, degene die meer te maken heeft met de gruwelijke misdaad die ze ooit beging. Alleen zij tweeën kennen die waarheid en Sean heeft er alle belang bij dat dat zo blijft... Amy Lloyd debuteerde met De onschuld zelve waarin ze net als in Valse leugens haar fascinatie voor true crime combineert met haar passie voor fictie.
