The Woman Who Lied: The thrilling Sunday Times bestseller from the author of THE COUPLE AT NO 9

Product Information

The Woman Who Lied is a captivating psychological thriller that had me hooked from the beginning. I just couldn't put the book down, and I kept telling myself 'just one more chapter'. There were twists and turns, and I was, along with Emilia, suspecting everyone! I loved the different sides to this story and the extracts from Emilia’s book left me feeling as if I was reading two stories at the same time. This book was clever and it kept me curious right to the end.

It went so fast,) and we say hello to September.

If you are looking for a creative, gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat then you want to add this title to your TBR. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It’s a fantastic read! THE WOMAN WHO LIED is a gripping read, so cleverly plotted and brimming with tension. The book-within-a-book intrigued me and works beautifully to ratchet up the tension and deepen the mystery. I loved it -- GILLY MACMILLAN However, I really like what Claire Douglas has tried to do here, the premise is clever, but it’s not quite as well executed as her other books in my opinion.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Couple at No 9

Claire Douglas is the Sunday Times number one bestselling author of novels including, The Sisters, Local Girl Missing, Last Seen Alive, Do Not Disturb, Then She Vanishes and Just Like The Other Girls. However, it’s slow to get going which is due to it being over detailed and over explained which halts the flow and makes it feel choppy. In all honesty I don’t feel the tension I should have been able to feel either which I think may be due to the increasing over complications and convolutions of the plot. Emilia Ward lives quietly in suburban London with her husband and two children.Just an ordinary wife and mother. But also a bestselling crime writer.When she starts writing her tenth Detective Miranda Moody novel, however, life takes a frightening turn: an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life.Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks. Until it happens again.Then someone she knows dies exactly like a victim in the book she's still writing . . . There was one twist in the middle that was pretty incredible. That was one moment I thoroughly enjoyed. Other than that moment, there wasn’t much on offer. Plot aside, the characters were inconsistent at the very least. We were told a few times how that protagonist would do anything to protect her kids, but that didn’t extend as far as telling the truth just because she was embarrassed?? And then apparently, she was wise to the darker side of humanity because she was an author, but yet she couldn’t make any connections at any point, not even some rather obvious correlations.

Anyone can take part in our book club, at any point in the month. Plus, you can do so from the comfort of your armchair, sofa. You get the picture. The characters, the plot, the rollercoaster ride of this book made me not want to stop reading. It kept me guessing throughout and more than once I literally gasped out loud.

I can’t wait to read this novel. It sounds so intriguing and I’ve heard great things about this author and her books. A cleverly plotted dark and twisty thriller which will keep you guessing until the end -- ALICE FEENEY A bestselling detective novelist and her family are in danger when chilling events from her novels begin happening around her in this gripping thriller from the British sensation—the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Girls Who Disappeared and The Couple at Number 9. When she starts writing her tenth Detective Miranda Moody novel, however, life takes a frightening turn: an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life.Emilia Ward lives very quietly in a London suburb with her husband and two children. You'd never guess that she's the author of the Detective Miranda Moody books. While she's writing the tenth in series, something happens which mirrors a crime in a previous book and unsettles her, but she manages to shrug it off as coincidence. However, when someone dies in the exact same mannner as in the book she's currently writing, it's obvious that there's more going on. Who could know what Emilia's writing - and is her family in danger? Emilia is a successful novelist, having just submitted her tenth book in a series. She lives with her daughter, second husband Eliott and son in her five bedroomed house in a London suburb. She is content with her life and proud of her work and family, even though she is hiding a secret about her new novel….. her life starts to unravel after a couple of mysterious happenings, which Emilia comes to realise are recreating events from her books. Creepy and unwanted as these things are, Emilia is more concerned that the conclusion of her new book has the death of her popular main character - meaning the culmination may mean the same for Emilia. Kudos where kudos are due, this is a clever plot. However, I think Claire Douglas was trying to do too much. As a reader I think we were expected to suspend reality a bit more than I think was necessary. This book is another addition to my loved list for 2023. The book is gripping, creative and hugely entertaining from start to end. I cannot find anything I did not enjoy about this story. Why have I not read more of this author’s work? The book is about an author Emilia ward who has written a series of books on detective Miranda Moody (fictional), due to this success she is very well off living with her second husband and two kids. She starts to finalise her tenth book of the series, the last one where she ends up killing Miranda. She’s only submitted the book to her editors, publicist, and close friends+ family when all of a sudden she starts getting ‘stalked’, which all stem from her 10 books (taking aspects from each book and subjecting Emilia to them). What was initially brushed off a ‘crazy fan’ ends up turning up a notch when someone close to her is murdered in a similar fashion to how Detective Moody is killed off in her last book. But only a handful of people have read the final book. Someone is out there targeting her, who could it be?
