    About this audiobook

    ‘My name is Alice. And my son is a murderer.’

    Deborah’s son was killed four years ago. Alice’s son is in prison for committing that crime.

    Deborah would give anything to have her boy back, and Alice would do anything to right her son’s wrongs.

    Driven by guilt and the need for redemption, Alice has started a support group for parents with troubled children. But as the network begins to grow, she soon finds out just how easy it is for one little lie to spiral out of control…

    They call it mother’s intuition, but can you ever really know your own child?

    Deeply psychological and suspenseful, One Little Lie is a twisty and unnerving story about the price of motherhood and the unthinkable things we do to protect our children. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Cara Hunter.

      I’m sorry to say this was one of the silliest and most confusing stories. There were so many characters it was hard to follow the relationships and who did what. I thought the ending would bring it all together but was disappointed in the end.

      Great story with many twists and turns. Difficult to get through the beginning trying to make sense of the different characters from short snippets, but worth sticking with it.

      It was OK, nothing special. Can't say it held me gripped but I did listen to the end.

    • 5/5
      Great book! Good characters and storyline was well developed - overlap between characters lives was interesting
    • 4/5
      Rounded up to 4 stars. Would give it 3.5. It started getting long-winded towards the end but still it was enjoyable.
