Thank you for granting my wish! Not exactly a ~thriller~ but bingeworthy nonetheless. Put this book on your fall TBR.

This book was a good surprise! But, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a thriller or suspenseful. The premise is about the 25th school reunion of several women and they are also remembering how shortly before graduation their friend Tessa was “mysteriously” killed. It’s told from the perspective of three women. What I liked about this was the perspectives were not confusing and each character was developed really well. There are tidbits of secrets, lies and half truths that made this an interesting read. I wasn’t too happy with the ending twist about Tessa but overall this was well written and enjoyable. The author knows how to tell a story.

I absolutely loved this book.
I was gripped from beginning to end. There are various reason why I gave it 5*s. Firstly, we get to know so much background of every character, what they are like, what they were like and what relationships they have with one another.
Secondly, the pace of the book was excellent. All the chapters, coming together, to bring that brilliant ending.
Thirdly, there was so many twists and turns. I honestly thought I knew who the murderer was, I was so wrong. I was gripped all the way through.
And lastly, I loved the ending, I love it when you get to know what happens to every character.
Thank you so much for the advanced copy. Great job Sarah

This is a gripping read which captivated me from the beginning
The only negative point is that the book lacked depth in the middle of the story.
A good read

I devoured Good Little Liars in a couple of days. So refreshing for a book to be set outside of the UK or USA. It’s set in Hobart in Tasmania and the twenty fifth anniversary of Emma leaving Denham House Girls School is fast approaching.

It’s also been twenty five years since her friend Tessa died. After her marriage breaks down, Emma moves into one of the school’s properties and finds a photo. Could this be evidence that Tessa’s death wasn’t an accident?

This book is a tale of friendships, family and secrets. It will grip you from the first page, draw you in and leave you wanting more.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and can’t wait to read more. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

I really wanted to like this book based on the information I had about it but I found it hard to get into. I don't know if that was because the chapters were 'told' from multiple perspectives and that interupted the flow. I also felt it meant it was harder to connect to or understand the characters. I enjoyed the mystery element and how the book slowly unfolded to discover what had happened but I found myself with a skipping pages urge which I don't normally get. It was well written and suspenseful though so worth a read.

I enjoyed reading this book, although at times I found it a little slow and the plot a little silly. Still, an enjoyable read nonetheless.

It is hard to believe that this book is the first for this author. It is very well written and has well drawn characters. I like the fact it delves into lives, past and present, of everyone who was involved with Tessa (the girl who died). I definitely want to read more from this author. I recommend this for sure. Give stars for me!

At A school reunion Harriet came across a old photography from years shoehorn she had attended the school,.It seemed to set a trigger of events off in her mind about something that happened to a friend. Involving the headmaster and her friend. At the reunion she started up make arrangements to meet up all girls back to together sort of thing. I can only assume this was a typo and was corrected prior to publication , only because for a few seconds I became a little baffled when a few chapters later Mellie, announce she had seen a indecent with the girl and the headmaster..which led to their friends death. For some reason at the time it was never mentioned to the police. Being told I honestly do not know if it was just myself that who seemed to get even more confused. Or what, Harriet seemed to Have Plenty to Say so did Melrose ( Mellie) in fact so did Emma. Everyone has something suddenly to say. Or thought they did. It's Amazing how everyone can see the same indecent service so many different events of it. I genuinely can't suitcase myself best of feeling off I just didn't enjoy parts of this book. It didn't grip me.. Even now as I thinking back none of them after further.investing the past it seemed t0:unravel only go become more tangled than ever.

Loved the premise of this novel and throughly enjoyed it. A great plot switching between the present and past and a group of girls whom attended the same elite school in Hobart. The narrative switches between the women and the memories of the death of a fellow student just prior to them completing year 12. The women’s 25th school reunion is impending and the past and present collide dramatically. I read this in one day and can’t wait for the authors next book. I enjoyed the characters different personalities and their development. Set in Hobart, Tasmania the author paints the city in brilliant detail including the extremely popular dark MOFO festival. I live in Hobart but was not aware that this is where the book was set until I began it. I hope Sarah sets her next book in Tasmania as well it was a fabulous bonus to the story. Will be buying this as perfect chick-thriller Christmas presents this year.

Great book. First book by this author it was well written, the words flowed nicely and it was easy to follow. Would read something else by this author.

Really great read.... The 25th school reunion is coming up for Emma, Marlee and Clementine. You'd think the fact that Emma hit 'reply all' to the reunion email, thinking she was just responding to Marlee and discussing her lack of sex life with her husband and her thoughts on Tessa who was a pupil in their year who died just before they left school would be more than enough drama... But no!

The author takes us on a roller-coaster ride or adultery, secrets, lies and friendship.

Loved all the twists and turns and how everyone was somehow connected.

Great book... Oh and really did not like Emma's husband, what an idiot.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review, this is my honest opinion

I actually really enjoyed this book. From the synopsis I thought that the book was mostly going to be about Tessa’s murder, but I was in for a juicy surprise. Good Little Liars was filled with plenty of drama that connected Emma’s life to the other main characters. Even though Tessa’s death becomes the center of the story as other characters are introduced, I believe the other women’s lives are really the main attraction.

I wasn’t as wowed as I thought I would be when I found out the real story behind Tessa’s death. I think that was the only thing that I found a little disappointing. Other than that, character development was great and it definitely kept me interested.

Not only does this book have a great front cover, it is also a captivating story which had me gripped from the beginning. I really enjoyed reading this book and it was an easier read. The only issue I had is that feel like it was lacking something ... especially around the middle, i just thought it needed something a bit more! Despite this, I would definitely recommend reading this!

Your school friends know the truth about you – the person you were before you got the flattering haircut, the great career, the loving family. The lies you’ve told.

It’s been twenty-five years since Emma graduated from Denham House Girls’ School, and twenty-five years since her friend Tessa died. Now, just as a class reunion approaches, Emma has found herself back at Denham House, staying in the headmaster’s old staff cottage while her marriage implodes. But it’s in this cottage that Emma finds an old photograph that had been hidden away. An explicit image of Tessa, staring boldly at the camera, dated the day before she died.

For Emma, this photo proves what she had always suspected. Jon Brownley, the current headmaster, was involved with Tessa. Emma had seen them arguing in the school grounds back then, and had always regretted not speaking up after her friend’s death was ruled an accident. She feels that she let her down. But if she can find more evidence now, could it be her chance to atone?

However, as Emma starts to dig into the past, talking to old friends back home for the reunion, she discovers that everyone remembers the past differently, and that the innocent schoolgirls she thought she knew might be hiding some very big secrets.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. For a first time author this showed great promise and was extremely well written. However, I did find it a little slow in places and had difficulty in distinguishing the relationship of some of the characters. I look forward to the authors next book.

This book was very well written. Nice and easy to read and flowed well. Had me on the edge of my seat. Wondering which way it was going to go. Great mystery can’t beat it.

Good Little Liars by author Sarah Clutton is a great thrill of a book! It did not disappoint and overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and the characters (whether it’s the dislike or like, they were strong)!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was looking forward to this book a lot. I enjoyed it but it was slow to get into for me. I liked the premise of the book and the different character POVs. Good book nonetheless.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I always enjoy a good mystery involving an all girls school with secrets and this one was no exception! Told from multiple points of view, it centers around Emma, her old classmates, and their families now and back then, twenty-five years ago. One of her classmates, Tessa, was killed shortly before graduating and it affected everyone - even now they live with the repercussions of that day. Officially an accident, those close to her believe it was anything but, and Emma in particular is determined to get to the truth. There is a twenty-five year reunion coming up and the mystery of Tessa's death is just the distraction that she needs.

She still works at the school, under the headmaster Mr. Brownley, who a much loved teacher to all the girls back then. Her marriage is deteriorating and she looks to her close friend Marlee for friendship and assistance with figuring out what happened to Tessa. Marlee has just started a new job and is growing ever closer to her boss, Ben. Ben is separated from his older wife, and his stepdaughter, Clementine is a famous artist who was a classmate of Emma, Marlee and Tessa. It's not her point of view that we see from that family, it's her mother, Harriet's. She also happens to be Mr. Brownley's sister. We get a slightly different picture from her, as a parent and not a classmate.

It may sound complicated with the different characters and their relationships, but it's not hard to follow. The women all have distinct, well-developed personalities although they are not without their faults. The story is a little slow at first, introducing the women and their current lives before delving in to the detail's of Tessa's death. It's necessary world-building and didn't stop me from quickly becoming engrossed in the story. It's rare that I can look back and recall just about every characters name well after finishing a book, but it shows how much of an impact this author's writing has. Stick with it and you will not be disappointed!

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5*****
