The Woman Who Lied

Brought to you by Penguin. THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE COUPLE AT NO 9 Emilia Ward is just an ordinary mum living happily in suburban London with her husband and two children - a teenager from her first marriage, a little boy from her second. She also happens to be the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels. But when Emilia embarks on her tenth novel, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident straight out of the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks. Until it happens again - and again. Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing . . . Why is someone doing this? How do they know what she is writing? And what if Emilia and her family are next? PRAISE FOR CLAIRE DOUGLAS: 'Clever. Gripping. Terrifically compelling. Kept me glued to the page' SARAH PEARSE 'Eerie, spine-tingling. Douglas is a master storyteller. The perfect immersive read' JANICE HALLETT 'Douglas is the queen of the unexpected twist, and this is her best wrongfooting yet' GILLIAN MCALLISTER © Claire Douglas 2023 (P) Penguin Audio 2023
