Neve Connolly looks down at a murdered man. She doesn't call the police. ‘You know, it’s funny,’ Detective Inspector Hitching said. ‘Whoever I see, they keep saying, talk to Neve Connolly, she’ll know. She’s the one people talk to, she’s the one people confide in.’ A trusted colleague and friend. A mother. A wife. Neve Connolly is all these things. She has also made mistakes; some small, some unconsciously done, some large, some deliberate. She is only human, after all. But now one mistake is spiralling out of control and Neve is bringing those around her into immense danger. She can’t tell the truth. So how far is she prepared to go to protect those she loves. And who does she really know? And who can she trust? A liar. A cheat. A threat. Neve Connolly is all these things. Could she be a murderer?

“'The hook of The Lying Room is chilling: a woman discovers the dead body of a man she knows and doesn’t tell a soul..Nicci French remains one step ahead of us as we race to unpick Neve Connolly's deadly tangle. Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable. “ LOUISE CANDLISH

I really loved this. Well narrated and swiftly done no boring explanations of views. Interesting characters and a great mystery. Really enjoyed it.

There are so many characters in this with so many possible motives that you will be spoilt for choice as you try to work out “whodunnit”. The perpetrator was not who I expected and I wasn’t entirely convinced of the story line’s credibility - maybe sour grapes for me not being able to pick it, though! Lots of questions as to right and wrong, and what you might do to protect the people you love and the life you live. This added some depth to an otherwise fairly “standard” thriller. The narrator was very suited to the main character.
