I enjoyed this book but not quite as much as other books I have read by this author. It didn't really grip me and I did guess what was going to happen except for the very ending and wow that was a real shock.

Another great read from this author. This time we meet a group of old friends who come together for the funeral of a friend and it starts to bring up bad memories of another friends death many years ago and the secrets and lies that surrounded her death. As bad things start to happen to the group and a new man comes into their lives will the truth tear all of them apart and is the facts of that night even darker than any of them can imagine. A great dark thriller.

A great addictive read from one of my favourite authors which kept me involved in the storyline from the beginning.

The characters were well described but not all likeable but this was just one brilliant book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I can thoroughly recommend.

I was hooked from the first page and enjoyed the concept of this psychological thriller element to it. The characters were everything that I was looking for and was engaged with the storyline going on. Sheryl Browne was able to tell this story and was wanting more.

16th book read by this great author and the 16th time I have enjoyed the authors book (s)!

This is a story of revenge,cold and calculating and the people that could be the guilty party/ parties and who then deserves what is coming to them

Going between the present and the past we find out one of the group of friends,Jodie can no longer feel guilty of the past and what happened to another of the group one night many years ago and after this sad event questions are re asked and old wounds re opened,it is then a readers ‘whodunit’ really to see who the culprit is,as with any good thriller you never quite know

Intense and dark at times the writing kept me reading as I thought i knew the answers…..but did I?…..

Any book that mentions ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ has to gain an extra point for nostalgia as well

A good exciting read

Rebecca and her friends are enjoying a party on the beach, but when Pippa, a girl any of them really didn't bother with is found dead things take a turn.

Fast forward and now Rebecca is an expectant mother....with a stalker..

I loved this book. It is pacy and has more than few OMG moments. It is twisty and shocking and Oh how I didn't expect IT..

just brilliant

I've just read a book very similar to this so found myself getting my head confused between the plots! That being said, a good read that kept my attention.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book,

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Years ago Becky and her friends were at a beach party, when an outsider, Pippa, died. None of them know what happened but they had cruelly rejected her and so kept quiet. Now Becky is pregnant and someone is stalking her and her friends.

Couldn’t put this down! Loved the slow reveal., the teasing and the complete twists. The characters all were believable if not likeable. All were flawed, and I knew they all had secrets. The big reveal when it came was good. I had an inkling and although I was correct it didn’t ruin the story. I do feel that the ending was a little unsatisfying. What happened to Pippa was a little unclear to me. Sometimes leaving a few loose ends is good as I can’t stol thinking about this book! Highly recommend.

Rebecca (Becks) is determined to get her circle of friends to come together and face their past—the death of Pippa at a year-end beach party a number of years before.

Was the death accidental? Was it more sinister? And what happens when another person from their group dies?

This book had lots of twists and turns, most of which I didn't see coming. Wow! And what a finish!

Sheryl Browne has done it again. I'm looking forward to her next psychological thriller.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another fast-past, suspenseful and fun novel by Brown.

This is a great twsity read, full of secrets and lies. Sheryl always writes solid novels and this is another good one. I read this in one day on holiday recently, it's really engaging and well written.

this Author will never disapoint her readers always an addictive read with twist and turns. Becky has never forgotten Pippas death her husband and friends keep telling her to forget it leave it alone. and one of there closest friends has just died .Becky does not believe Jodie committed suicide. and now things are happening to her and her and her friends. its just so good someone wants them to pay lies decite will keep you gripped until the very end

Captivating, compelling and a cunning twist at the end which I didn’t see coming. This is another fantastic psychological thriller from Sheryl Browne, which just keeps the twists coming. Something happens on night on a beach party with a group of friends and everyone else seems to move on, but it haunts Becky even years later. Then suddenly the friends all realise they are in danger. Is it connected to that dreadful night? Becky is convinced it is and will stop at nothing until she gets the truth, but the truth isn’t what she had imagined. Sheryl is skilful at suspenseful scenes which are full of emotion.. She never disappoints.

I have just read and reviewed another ARC that has almost the same plot as this one. Same twists, in fact, almost a carbon copy of this book.
If it wasn't for that, I would have enjoyed this book a lot more, as I am a huge fan of this author.

3/5 stars from me.

Sheryl Browne has once again wrote an interesting book. I finished this in one sitting. Plenty of twists and turns.

4.5 stars rounded up-One More Lie is an unpredictable thriller that catches the reader from the beginning. During college, Becky and her friends were awful to fellow classmate Pippa during a beach party and Pippa died. Years later, Becky is still haunted by Pippa’s death and wants to come clean about everything. Everyone else wants Becky to drop it but now some of the friends are dying. Becky is pregnant and her marriage is falling apart and now someone tried to burn her house down with her in it. Told in alternating views between friends with the biggest focus on Becky, the story twists and turns with multiple suspects as the suspense keeps building. I thought I had everything figured out by the halfway point but the ending completely blindsided me! My voluntary, unbiased, and non-mandatory review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.

Another great read from Sheryl Brown, all through the book, I had so much sympathy for one of the main characters despite her being too trusting and a bit naive, it certainly brings the reader on a twisty path before a great ending. The author certainly knows how to keep her readers engaged and like all her other books, this is another 5 star read.

If you want suspense, twisty and thrilling , yes to this book, say yes!! Had me thinking the whole way through and just couldn't put my finger on who. Great no fantastic twist I never saw coming. Loved everything about this book but then again Sheryl Browne never ceases to amaze me that her books just keep on getting better and better.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

Woo hoo! The amazing Sheryl Browne does it again! Knocked this one right out of the park. A domestic thriller packed with secrets and lies. I had zero idea who to trust. Characters were easy to relate to, some I loved, a couple I loved to hate. I read this in one afternoon, could not put it down. Don’t let this one pass you by.
Thank you NetGalley, Sheryl Browne and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This must be the plot of the year....or the last few years. Honestly, I'm having a hard time getting into books like this. A bunch of friends gather for a party, someone dies, they all agree to keep a secret, and later in life someone comes back to kill them all. Not much suspense. not much to it. Predictable. The writing is very basic. Sheryl's books either seem to be mediocre for me or i love them. This one is just ok.
