The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone – she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods’ house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods are planning their long-anticipated housewarming party. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief. Her husband Matt persuades her: he’s worried about her. A night out might do her good.

At ten years old, she didn’t yet understand why her stomach tightened when she heard her father’s heavy tread as he returned home late at night, or why it made her brother Graham’s stammer get worse, or why one night her mother Carol woke them both, wide-eyed and whispering, and took them out of their home and into the unknown. Now a successful lawyer in the city, with a life poles apart from her dark beginnings, Nicola has returned home for her mother’s funeral. But as she stands in her mother’s house, remembering the woman who sacrificed everything for her children, Nicola has to confront the guilt that she feels for leaving her family behind.

The Lies We Hide

She doesn’t know I’m there, watching her in the mirror. She slides her hand under her blouse. And then I see something impossible. She isn’t pregnant… She bursts into my life like a storm, and nothing is the same again. She seems so perfect, with her lilting laugh and her beautiful face. One by one, I watch as my friends fall under her spell. Only I seem to suspect something. Only I see that her smiles don’t reach her cold, furious eyes. And when I’m accused of things I didn’t do, when my home is vandalized, I know she’s behind it. But she only lets her mask slip when no one is looking, so if I say anything, I’ll look crazy. So when the baby shower comes around I’m there, sitting on a velvet sofa in a posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons. We share gifts, we pour small glasses of champagne, and she beams, her bump just visible under her bright red shirt. But that afternoon, I finally learn the unbelievable truth. There is no baby… A stunningly twisty story of toxic female friendships, guilt and lies from S.E. Lynes, author of the no.1 bestseller The Housewarming.

I could not put this book down.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Goodreads reviewer The night she moves in with Peter, she’s so happy, so exhilarated, so in love. Later, she will remember a much smaller feeling, a tiny one percent in her gut. And she will remember pushing that feeling aside… Samantha Frayn doesn’t know why Peter Bridges picks her – a nobody with bitten fingernails and a troubled childhood behind her – but she falls quickly. He’s older, charming, likes fine wine and French films, and his beautiful home has real art on its walls. Peter transforms Samantha’s life in an instant. He sees the better version of herself – the one she’s always wanted to be. It’s only normal that there’s a little friction, when she moves in, over domestic matters like where things are kept, or the proper times to eat, sleep and shower. She’s lucky to be with someone who can help her find a new job, move on from childish friends, and speak with greater sophistication. But as Samantha notices, more and more, Peter’s temper, she starts to wonder if there might be consequences to breaking the rules of the world he has so quickly built around her. And then she receives an anonymous note that makes her ask: is she the first woman to feel trapped by Peter? Is she being paranoid, manipulated, or could she be in danger? You can tell the truth about your life, but someone needs to be listening. Someone needs to trust you. And someone needs to save you from the man you thought you loved.

Dall’autrice del bestseller La maestra bugiarda Un grande thriller «Mette i brividi!» «Scioccante, provocatorio, geniale!» Alcune verità possono diventare una prigione Sono passati più di trent’anni da quando Nicola Watson ha lasciato la sua bella casa nel quartiere in cui viveva con i genitori e il fratello maggiore. Aveva solo dieci anni ma era sufficiente il rumore della macchina di suo padre nel vialetto per farle stringere lo stomaco dalla paura. Allora era troppo piccola per capire perché la balbuzie del fratello continuasse a peggiorare... La notte in cui sua madre Carol la portò via, con gli occhi spalancati dal terrore, è ormai un vaghissimo ricordo... Adesso Nicola è un avvocato di successo e si è lasciata alle spalle la sua inquietante infanzia. Fino al giorno in cui, per il funerale della madre, si trova ad affrontare il senso di colpa verso la donna che ha sacrificato tutto per i suoi figli. Una volta riemersi, i ricordi sono difficili da ricacciare indietro e Nicola si convince di avere avuto un ruolo negli eventi che hanno portato suo fratello in prigione per omicidio.

«Il classico libro che ti fa venire voglia di tenere la luce accesa di notte.» Pippa ha superato i trent’anni e nonostante il suo matrimonio sia naufragato, sente di meritare una seconda occasione. La sua vita però è in stallo: il lavoro di insegnante non le regala più alcuna soddisfazione, il suo primo libro è stato un totale insuccesso e non trova l’ispirazione per iniziare un nuovo romanzo. Finché non bussa alla sua porta Ryan Marks. È un venditore porta a porta, e lei rimane subito folgorata dai suoi occhi azzurri, così decide di lasciarlo entrare. Anche Ryan è un uomo in fuga dal suo passato, ma giura di essere cambiato. Potrebbe essere la chiave per l’inizio della nuova vita che Pippa desiderava? Dopotutto, è sempre stata brava a riconoscere una bugia. Se la sua vita fosse in pericolo, se ne accorgerebbe di sicuro... oppure no?
