The truth hurts…
Erin and Roisin were once friends until a fatal accident ruined both their lives. Now, Roisin has discovered a secret—one Erin has kept for over a decade—and she’s determined to make Erin pay for her lies.
Erin wants nothing to do with Roisin. She has a new life in London and no intention of going back home. Yet when her father is mysteriously and critically injured, Erin has no choice but to return and face Roisin—and her past. Erin knows if the secret of what she gave up got out, the consequences could be devastating.
When Roisin suddenly disappears, suspicion soon lands on Erin. She would do anything to protect her family, but just how far is she willing to go when time is running out…?
A must read for fans of CL Taylor and BA Paris.

Reviews for The Girl Who Lied
52 ratings7 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was not a psychological thriller and any possible shocks and twists were exactly what I had anticipated.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5melodramatic soap opera with a plot I couldn't care less about
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Erin comes home to Ireland when her father falls and is injured. She must face her past actions there, with consequences for many.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good story and an easy read...and the "secret" is fairly easy to work out. [The Girl Who Lied] was advertised as being a 'physiological mystery" but I found it to be basically a romance novel with some family conflicts. Those conflicts were enough to keep me reading but I found the ending rather disappointing since I had already sorted out what the "secret" was. Actually the entire revenge thing on Roisin part was more of a teenage misunderstanding and her jumping to conclusions by not having all the facts. I had to give it the extra half star because Ms. Fortin did give us a cleverly written book with some really human characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.Erin has been brought back to her hometown, a place she swore she'd never return to, by a family emergency. But her return has also brought her back in close contact with Roisin, her former friend, and Roisin says she knows the secret from her past Erin is desperate to hide.Books about secrets from the past are inherently intriguing to me. Fortin does a good job of interweaving information through flashbacks and character discoveries.Erin is also a strong character, who goes on a compelling journey to find herself and her connection to her family again. The romance that begins to blossom between her and another character is one I definitely rooted for.I was able to call a lot of the bigger twists a long time before they happened. It seemed to me like the clues that were planted were just too obvious most of the time.The ending also seemed way too pat for a book with the kind of story lines this one has.This isn't a bad book, and it's not a great one. It's a quick read, and a suspenseful one, but I wish it wasn't quite so predictable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked the book. It keeps a good pace throughout. Some twists and turns keeps you turning the pages. I like the characters and how their opinions keep the story moving. A good story with suspense and romance.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really turned out to be much ado about nothing.
