Thea wakes from a coma, having forgotten much of the recent past. As well as learning to walk again, she studies the list of ‘facts’ she keeps on her phone, hoping something will unlock her memory. Her top three facts are:

I was in Italy

I was with the people I love the most

I fell down a ravine and I’m lucky to be alive

But as Thea gets hazy glimpses of the lead-up to her fall, the facts stop adding up. Trapped at home in the middle of the Irish countryside, dependent on those who were on holiday with her – her fiancé, her brother, her sister-in-law and her best friend – terrifying questions surface:

Was I pushed?

Why are they lying?

Who can I trust?

As memories come tumbling back, Thea realises she is in race against time to figure things out – and that her life hangs in the balance.'The most compulsive reading experience I’ve had this year.' Liz Nugent

‘Immersive and addictive with a tantalising drip-feed of detail that leaves readers desperate for more, All Of Them Lied firmly cements Gill Perdue’s place as one of Ireland’s top writers’ Andrea Mara

‘Gill Perdue is a great writer on a sentence level, on creating excellent characters and pulling off taut, gripping plots. I had SUCH a gorgeous time reading this’ Marian Keyes
