Publisher Description
The perfect family... or the perfect lie?
To the outside world, Gemma Bradley has it all – a doting husband, high-flying career and two delightful kids – but inside the four walls of her tastefully renovated home, she is a mother at her wits’ end who has given too many last warnings and counted to ten too many times.
When a child’s scream pierces the night, Gemma’s neighbour does what anyone would do: she calls the police. She wants to make sure that Rosie, the little girl next door, is safe.
Gemma knows she hasn’t done anything wrong, but the more she fights to defend the family she loves, the more her flawless life begins to crumble around her. Is the carefully guarded secret she’s been keeping suddenly in danger of breaking free?
When Rosie disappears, Gemma thinks she only has herself to blame. That is, until she discovers that Rosie has been keeping dark secrets of her own in a pink plastic diary.
Distraught and terrified, Gemma doesn’t know where to turn. The only thing she knows is that her daughter’s life is in danger…
Little Liar is a heart-in-your-mouth psychological thriller about the people we choose to trust and the secrets we keep behind closed doors. If you loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or anything by B.A. Paris you’ll be totally and utterly gripped.

At first this book sounded pretty good to read but later on I lost interest and thought I should quit reading it and then again I paid for it so I kept on reading then the last four or maybe five chapters it all came together but then it did not have the ending which I would have liked if the author had given a hint of reading the next book for a proper ending.

What a wild ride this was!!
Little liar is a book that’s impossible to put down. It is an epic thriller and has so many twists and harrowing turns in its plot twists it’s comparable to being on a roller coaster ride for the very first time the first deep plunge into an unsuspecting quick turn that leaves you flying into an unknown abyss upside down having no control of when it will stop or where it will take is that you physically feel your stomach clench your breath and heart rate speed and the tension fill your whole body. I was thoroughly immersed in the story the deep complex drama and the horrific experience that this mother goes through along with her Rosie, her eldest child and their entire family due to an incredible omission the parents have kept from everyone but most importantly their 10 year old daughter who’s wiser beyond her years and exceptionally intelligent and she is also an extraordinary difficult child to raise with insatiable need for attention and undivided all consuming investment into her unable to tolerate anything less which is impossible for a full time working mom with another child, Noah who is 5 as well as being newly pregnant. What transpires as a result of the mission a child’s deep intuition and intellect will disturb every mother that reads this deeply and profoundly and all other readers will be engrossed and awestruck at the lengths this child goes to to control her confusion about her uncontrollable behavior and her underlying “darkness” that clearly runs through her. She is simultaneously the most precious and loving and innocent as most young people are and has clearly mental and emotional behavioral issues that run deep and her rages and her erratic and violent unprovoked aggression towards mainly her mother and at times her brother become more complex and change from worrisome to outright dangerous something her mother can see because she’s on the receiving end of it and the manipulation deceit and destruction she is capable of will terrify and astound.
Incredibly powerful and absolutely engrossing.
Honest
This was definitely a different flavor of storytelling so it took a bit to get sucked in; but it was also nice to get lost in well written prose for a while and not speed read to a predictable ending. I purchased her next one within minutes of finishing and am taking time to actually write a review. So that, folks, should spell it all out for you. ~from your no longer virgin book reviewer AngelaJo 🤍
