Successful publisher Jeannie Symonds lives in Kesterly-on-Sea with her eminent surgeon husband, Guy. One day she disappears without trace and trainee investigator, Cara Jakes, teams up with ex-detective Andee Lawrence to resolve the mystery.

As an avid Susan Lewis fan, I’d been looking forward to reading this book. It didn’t disappoint. It drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let go until the very last page. Well paced and plotted, it’s told from the viewpoints of a variety of different characters. Some of them weren’t very likeable but I would say they were realistically depicted. Fliss was my favourite, she seemed to have travelled the furthest by the conclusion. Who’s Lying Now is more than just a mystery, it’s a story of family dynamics and life within a close knit community whilst living through the Coronavirus pandemic. I thought it was cleverly written and insightful.

A gripping and engaging read which I can highly recommend. ( )

Fabulous book, I was gripped from the first chapter, I just couldn’t put it down. Beautifully written, all the characters were very likeable. It moved at a good pace. An easy read. ( )
