    About this ebook

    Nothing has felt right since she told the lie...

    Claire Carmichael leads a charmed life. She has two beautiful sons, Jamie and Joshua, and a handsome and successful husband who loves her. She has been taught well by her mother – the most important thing Claire has is her good reputation.

    He said, she said...

    Even when she was in school, Claire had it all. She was clever, likable, and after passing the initiation tests, she was welcomed into the society of popular girls – The Queen Bees. So when a scandal threatened to ruin Claire's reputation, the Queen Bees closed rank to protect her, no matter who else got hurt.

    Never forgotten, never forgiven...

    Claire may have moved on from her school days, but for one person who she hurt irreparably, those memories are as fresh as blood. And all it takes to reap their revenge, is ONE PERFECT LIE.

    The latest heart-racing psychological thriller from the author of the bestselling The Good Mother. Perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke, Paula Hawkins and Lisa Jewell.

    • 4/5
      If I had to use one word to describe this book it would be gripping.I also have to note that the title is perfect. The characters are real, in that we know them. We've met them, worked with them, gone to school with them, we know them. That's what draws you into their lives, is the desire to see where their lives are going. The more information that is provided to us, the more we want. I can't really get into particulars here, but I can tell you that it is a worthwhile read. It will have you thinking for sure. The writing is good, the story keeps you hanging on, and you will enjoy the ride.My copy was provided by NetGalley.com and the publisher, for which I thank them.
