LoveReading4Kids Says
High achieving academic and almost reclusive Nora and social butterfly and talented dancer Sophie are the dual narrators of this story.
Readers gradually realise that Nora’s “confession” is about the events leading up to the disappearance of Sophie’s rich and popular boyfriend Garrett and Sophie is telling the story of events after the disappearance.Gradually the sinister web of privilege, exploitation, corruption and murder is revealed.
It all started when Garrett cheated by copying one of Nora’s essays and the school blames both of them equally, threatening Nora’s Ivy League aspirations. The complex plot is so carefully and gradually revealed that it is necessary to avoid spoilers in any review. Suffice it to say that you will be kept guessing until the very end.
The sisters are incredibly strong in their very individual ways and their loyalty and faith in each other is sorely tested but triumphs. Emotional relationships with others are similarly well drawn making the whole book intensely satisfying. An intelligent, emotionally literate thriller writer to watch out for!

Tell Me No Lies Synopsis
Riverdale meets Gone Girl in a shocking thriller about two sisters whose bond is tested when one girl's boyfriend goes missing . . . and her sister is the primary suspect.
Nora and Sophie Linden may be sisters, but they're not friends. Not since the party last month. Not since the night Sophie's boyfriend, Garrett, disappeared. Half the town thinks Garrett is dead, the other half believes he ran away, but Sophie knows something no one else does - Garrett left that party with Nora. And straight-A, Ivy-league-bound Nora had never been to a single party before that night. Then Nora withdraws, barely coming home anymore, right when Sophie starts receiving messages from someone who claims to be Garrett, promising revenge for what happened to him that night, and for the lies both girls told to the police about it.
With the sisters' futures - and lives - in jeopardy, they'll have to decide whether to trust each other again, or risk their secrets leading them to their graves.
Page-turning, twisty thriller for fans of We Were Liars and One of Us is Lying.
From Andrea Contos, The International Thriller Writers (ITW) Award Winner, 2021
