The Girl Who Lied: An utterly gripping thriller with twists and turns to die for

The woods are hiding more than Chief Maggie Riley could ever imagine. Including her own worst nightmares… There’s a blood moon rising over the tiny Maine town of Coyote Cove when Chief Maggie Riley comes across the body of a man, blood seeping from stab wounds into the damp forest floor. As she desperately struggles to secure the scene as an approaching storm threatens to destroy all evidence, Heather, a local teenage girl, emerges from the woods terrified, a silent scream on her lips. Maggie, a decorated former homicide detective and more than over-qualified for a two-horse-town police chief, has been hiding from her past for the last four years. The quiet of Coyote Cove was everything she needed after… what happened. But with this murder, the life she left behind has found her. Who is the killer? Why was Heather out in the woods that night? And what dark secret is the girl hiding? To uncover the truth, Maggie must use the skills, and contacts, of her former world, however painful that will be. As Maggie digs into the victim’s background, she is horrified to unearth another body, this time an infamous local, as callously killed as the first. Is there a second murderer in her small town? Or does someone have a secret so dangerous they’d kill twice to keep it hidden? When Heather goes missing, the battle to identify the killer becomes a race to save a teenage girl. As the search turns to the woods, the hunt is on for a murderer so skilled, so twisted, no one knows how many bodies it will take before they’re found. And whether one of those will be Heather’s… A totally addictive crime thriller packed with suspense. If you love Lisa Regan, Louise Penny and Melinda Leigh, you’ll love The Girl Who Lied.
