AN INTENSE, EVOCATIVE DESTINATION THRILLER FOR FANS OF LUCY CLARKE AND WILL DEAN
I thought I saw her today. Down by the water. It was her hair I noticed. Do you ever see her, Lex? Does she haunt you too?
I haven’t been back to Eos since I first met my step-sister, Lex.
It’s been twenty-five years since that summer.
Since we went from strangers to sisters.
Since Abigail went missing.
Since we told the first lie.
Now we’re back together on the island.
So much has changed since we were teenagers.
We’ve both tried to move on from the past – from each other.
But the island won’t let us escape our secrets.
Only me and Lex know the truth about Abigail.
We’ve been living a lie for so long.
And if the truth comes out – neither of us will survive it…

Secrets and lies cross the two timelines of this novel, which is both a coming-of-age tale and a gripping mystery. And with darkness and intrigue lurking in an idyllic Greek setting, this has got to be the perfect summer thriller

Sinister and sun-soaked, and razor-sharp on teenage girl friendships and insecurities. This is a perfectly crafted mystery that I flew through in days
Caz Frear
-
A fantastic read. Combines elegance, atmosphere and emotional suspense with a twisting, sinister, irresistibly pacy plot that puts The Liars right up there with the best crime thrillers of the moment. I was swept away to Greece and completely immersed in the lives of the three girls, desperate to unravel the secrets of the past. This is heady, seductive, riveting fiction and I enjoyed every page
