I tried to post this last week but for some reason my blog just wouldn’t accept pics, and I don’t know if any of you noticed (haha!) but I tried to do the post from my phone and that (well, worked but …) went completely wrong lol  So I waited until today to send this out.  🙂
Review on Alternative-Read.com
MY REVIEW : 
The Lying Room by Nicci French, a cracking psychological thriller where the suspect and detective are both desperately trying get one step ahead of the other – oh, the tension was almost unbearable (in a fantastic way!!)
Married woman and mum, Neve Conolly, is having an affair with Saul, and just before he is due to head out to a conference her lover texts her to say he must see her. When she arrives he’s dead. It’s definitely murder. And by the look of it, he’s not been dead for long. Considering he was meant to be out of town by now, was she the first intended victim? Who sent the text, and why would they have a grudge with her? If not her, why him?
Oh, there are lots of reasons for someone to hate both of them!
For starters, as lovely as she is, always at everyone’s beck and call to help, not everyone sees her in the same light. Her marriage is on the rocks, one of her kids is out of control and taking up too much of her time, plus Saul was her boss at work, and they’ve recently been merged with another company, so their jobs are not totally 100% safe. What would it look like if her colleagues worked out she was having a fling with him at such a crucial time in their work lives?
As you can tell, it doesn’t look good!
From here on, Neve battles with not only her guilty conscious, but how she can’t do the right thing without implicating herself further, and decides to cover up any trace of her being there for fear of being accused wrongfully of his murder.
Er, yep, tampering with a murder scene is never wise!
Of course, her lies always make a habit of coming back to haunt her and the pressure she succumbs to, trying to work out who the real killer is, without getting even more involved herself —  is nail-biting!
You’ll make a lot of assumptions before the truth is revealed.
Turns out a lot of people could’ve had it in for her.
A believable, compelling and URGENT story that had my heart racing all the way through to the end!
Many thanks to Simon and Schuster UK, NetGalley for an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

The Lying Room Hardcover – by Nicci French 

*** THE BRAND NEW STANDALONE NOVEL FROM THE MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE ***

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?
