They All Lied
'Riveting and thrilling in equal measure. I didn't come up for air until the very last page. Filled with fantastic characters who find themselves in terrifying and unexpected situations. I kept asking myself, what would I do if it was me? A fantastic read with so many great twists. The best book from Louise Phillips so far.' Patricia Gibney
'Compelling and clever. They All Lied grips you from the opening page and doesn't let you go.' Brian McGilloway
When Nadine Fitzmaurice, a manager in an insurance company, gets a distressed phone call from her eighteen-year-old daughter, Becca, telling her she's killed someone, Nadine's life is turned upside down.
Now Becca is being held against her will and, determined to save her daughter, Nadine finds herself dragged into the underworld of organised crime - and under the scrutiny of Detective Sergeant Wren Moore.
But the more Nadine gets sucked in by those holding Becca, elements of her past, and a 'TRUTH or DARE' game that went terribly wrong years before, come to the surface.
Eighteen years earlier, teenager Evie Nolan went missing. She never came home.
One day Becca was there, and now she is gone too.
But can Nadine help her daughter before it's too late?
