TH - 1111 | The Lies You Told by Harriet Tyce

In the playground it's the law of the jungle. But at the school gate, there are no rules at all...

When Sadie Roper moves back to London, she's determined to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. First, she needs to get her daughter settled into a new school-one of the most exclusive in the city. Next, she's going to get back the high-flying criminal barrister career she sacrificed for marriage ten years earlier.

But nothing goes quite as planned. The school is not very welcoming newcomers, her daughter hasn't made any friends yet and the other mothers are as fiercely competitive as their children. Sadie immediately finds herself on the outside as she navigates the fraught politics of the school gate.

The tide starts to turn as Sadie begins to work on a scandalous, high-profile case that's the perfect opportunity to prove herself again, even though a dangerous flirtation threatens to cloud her professional judgment.

And when Julia, queen of the school moms, befriends Sadie, she draws her into the heart of the world from which she was previously excluded...

Dark, addictive and compelling, The Lies You Told is a compulsive psychological thriller from a master storyteller.
