Everything but the Truth is Gillian McAllister's stunning breakthrough thriller about deceit, betrayal and one woman's compulsive need to uncover the truth
Perfection. Intriguing and compelling. An exceptional debut
A beautifully written domestic noir full of secrets and lies that felt utterly plausible yet suspenseful and chilling. Perfectly paced, with a clever, tense plot that makes you question your own moral code. I was gripped from the very first page
Everything but the Truth is a cracker of a debut, all the more gripping because it could happen to any of us. Rachel and Jack and Wally were completely real to me from the very first page; I HAD to know what was coming next. Tense, thrilling and compelling - this is a book to devour
Incredible! I read it all in one sweaty-palmed sitting. A morally complex mystery bound up in the everyday of our ordinary lives - it's impossible to read this book and not ask yourself, how far would I go for love?
Everything But the Truth is startlingly good. Claustrophobic, suspense-layered and devillishy twisty, it grabs your attention from the very first page. What makes Gilly McAllister's debut rise above other psychological thrillers is a lead character you can't help but root for - even though you suspect you shouldn't. Wise, scary and terrifyingly real, this marks Gillian McAllister as a new star in psychological thrillers
Everything But The Truth is a thunderous debut. An utterly unique story with a deep heartbeat and expertly crafted moral dilemmas. I read it in just two days, my heart in my mouth the whole time
Addictive - I found myself wanting to pick it up at every opportunity. Rachel manages the delicate balance between believable and likeable and you find yourself praying things work out for her. This is a brilliant debut
Once I'd started I was of course powerless to stop. Everything But the Truth is a dream début, brilliantly executed, clever and utterly realistic. I loved it
Intriguing and atmospheric

Loved how I go so involved in the story that I was yelling at the main character to get over herself🤣😂😂

Fantastic story

This story was boring and annoying most of the way through. Picked up just a little towards the end. Struggled to finish.

Annoying

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I love her other books but this was unfortunately very dull (for me anyway!). I tried it briefly a while ago and it didn’t grab me but I persevered again, I should have let it go

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The main character was so self obsessed… I just wanted to scream at her to get over herself. Story had no substance…

I just wanted her to stop whinging
