Very enjoyable

A good book with a twist at the end. I like Chloe Massey's narration very much but not quite so keen on the other narrator but overall enjoyed very much. Wanted to know what happened after it ends ......leaves you wondering. Would recommend.

Gripping

I loved this book, the story is gripping and you are left guessing up until the very end as to how it is going to turn out. My only wish was that it didn’t end where it did as I feel there was more to be told.

The narration is excellent, both narrators really bring a depth to the characters and really added to the whole atmosphere of the book. I’d definitely look out for more books narrated by them.

Excellent

This has to be one of the best audio books I've listened to in a long time. The plot was intriguing and kept me wondering what on earth had happened 'before ' The narrators were excellent too. I listened at every single opportunity.

Bloody brilliant

I loved this book, the story, the narrative and performances all brilliant.
I happened to come across The Lies We Told by this author whilst staying in an apartment on holiday and was gripped.
I decided to look her up when I returned, so glad I did.
I loved the way she writes, the stories she tells.
I will be reading everything she’s done.

Excellent!

One of the best books I've listened to in the past 12 months. Had me gripped from outset & throughout. Did not foresee the ending either.
Narrators were both great too.
Can't fault it!

The strap line finally fits!

So often, when you you read the strap line of a psychological thriller, you end up sorely disappointed, when the "twist you won't see coming" is zooming towards you, lights and sirens blazing, from chapter 2. This book, however, is NOT one of those. Unsettling seems far too mild. You think you've got a handle on the relationship between Edie and Heather and then, well, no spoilers here, but I was, indeed, very unsettled. This is a corker of a thriller, excellently narrated by Chloe Massey and Kathryn Griffiths, who do a fabulous job with Ms Way's words. (You could say they have a "Way with Words" *groan*). A definite 5 stars from me.

The narration was first class.

Slowly paced, but stick with it, it’s worth it.
The ending could have been better, unless (fingers crossed) there is a sequel!
Worth a read.

Wow!

What a great story. Kept me guessing until the very end. I loved the increasing tension as the story gathered pace. The narration was fantastic from both narrators, and gave great depth to the characters. Cant recommend enough.
