‘Totally mesmerizing! I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor… had my heart pounding so hard I thought it would burst! Totally amazing and brilliant!’ Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tia is walking home with her children, along the lakeside of their quiet, safe town, when she realises something is wrong with her five-year-old daughter, Rosie. She seems troubled, not at all her usual happy self.

But when Tia finally coaxes Rosie to open up, she wishes she hadn’t. Because her sweet daughter asks a question Tia never thought she’d hear.

‘Why did you kill someone?’

Tia knows how rumours spread around her small town. She just can’t understand who would have shared such a horrible story. Or why.

It can’t have anything to do with what happened. Only her two best friends really remember that…

Tia thought she could trust Fiona and Kelly with her life. They’ve been through so much together. But when she’s sent photos of herself that could tear her whole world apart, she starts to wonder. Someone is determined to punish her. But who? And will her friends stand by her, or will the past destroy all of their lives?

From the million-copy-bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this absolutely addictive psychological thriller is guaranteed to make you gasp. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and Big Little Lies this book is for you.

Shalini Boland, will your psychological thrillers ever fail to amaze me? No, I think not!"One of Us is Lying" was another page-turner (or binge-listen in my case), and I'd expect nothing less from one of my favorite *1-click* authors!Tia, Kelly, and Fiona are childhood best friends, all grown up and mostly as close as ever. Tia and Kelly each have families of their own, while Fiona, forever career-oriented, makes up half of an outwardly perfect power couple. When rumors start to form, unbelievable photos pop up, and reputations come into question, it doesn't take long for these friends to start doubting each other and everyone around them. You'll have to read it yourself to find out just how it all unravels!Shalini certainly knows how to write 'em! This particular story is told through three main narratives, along with glimpses into a past event that sneaks up every few chapters. "One of Us is Lying" was another one of those books that kept me interested the entire time and made me want to knock some sense into a few of their heads! While I wasn't completely pulled towards one character or another, I appreciated what each of them brought to the metaphorical table. Tia's persona was driven to protect her family, no matter the cost. Kelly desired to help those in need, even at the risk of her family. While Fiona craved peace and success. Perhaps if they'd all confided in each other, to begin with, they'd have figured out how everything connected a lot sooner - luckily for me, they didn't, as that would've shortened things up way too fast for my liking!Now, if you're looking for a binge-read with an ending you won't entirely expect, then look no further! Thank you to the author, the publisher Bookouture and Netgalley, for my complimentary ebook copy of "One of Us is Lying"! I also purchased the paperback and audio format of this title as Shalini Boland is a favorite, and I love following along in multiple ways, depending on my mood! I'd like to note, Katie Villa was an excellent narrator for this piece of work! I have voluntarily and honestly reviewed this title as four stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not As Thrilling As Her Other Books But Still a Great Read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020

Last year, I read my first Shalini Boland book. When I finished, I immediately bought all of her other books, one after the other and devoured them. She was immediately added to my list of 'must-read' authors where she remains to this day.

As soon as I bought One of Us Is Lying, I read it in one sitting. Someone has their sights set on ruining the lives of three friends: Kelly, Fiona and Tia. Each woman has her life turned upside down by someone who is hell-bent on causing hurt and pain. Will they make it out OK in the end? You'll have to read to find out!

I VERY much enjoyed this book and I"m so very glad I bought and read it. However, I didn't have any 'I didn't see that coming!' moments as I do with all of her other books nor did I think the promised 'twist' was much of a twist.. Quite honestly, it was predictable. Admittedly, I was a bit disappointed by those two things but I still VERY much enjoyed One Of Us Is Lying. It just wasn't my favorite Shalini Boland book. Still, a great read that I absolutely recommend!

Awesome Read! Intrigue, secrets and lies between 3 life-long friends, for the most part? I guess who the real antagonist was a little over way through the boot BUT it did not stop me from being completely engaged in TBE story. @ Shaking Boland Thanks for all the great stories.

I wasn’t as captivated by this book as precious books by this author. It was a slow read about three girl friends. It had a lot of mystery but not really any suspense. It was more about a person’s revenge on the three girls because of something in the past.

Shalini Boland never fails to write a great story! I love the first person point of view from each of the three friends. It took a minute in the beginning to get them straight but then it all flowed easily. I read a ton of books in this genre so everyone was a suspect for awhile but I was able to work things out for myself before the end. I was very satisfied with the ending. I definitely recommend One Of Us Is Lying to anyone looking for a suspenseful book that holds your attention throughout!

That’s the ending moral to this story. It revolves around three lifelong friends…all three are receiving mysterious texts on their phones and strange incidents in their lives. This book will definitely take you on a roller coaster ride.

I enjoy the settings she has, usually around water, southern England, south coast, and neighbouring countryside. Warm, cosy, and relatively affluent. The latest had a lakeside community and sailing as a background. The fluctuating trust and mistrust between three close friends is well drawn and makes the book a compelling read. I really like this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Us is Lying...by Shalini Boland.. 3 Friends with a secret past
Reviewed in Australia on June 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
Tia, Kelly and Fiona .. all friends from their school days.
All three are being harassed and feeling threatened, but why?
All three keep this a secret not to share with the other two.
Who else knows about their past?

Tia lives with her husband, along with their two children. The perfect life.. until she hears of the rumours circulating about her.
Kelly is a widow doing her utmost to provide for her two children, and Fiona is married, seemingly wanting for nothing, and living the dream.
This is a book of secrets and lies, gossip and suspicion, told in turn by the three women from their own point of view.

This is the 11th book I have read from this author and I have enjoyed every single one of them! Thank you
