"Different, ever so clever, and rather provocative, this debut thriller focusing on seven lies deserves to be a huge hit."
Well! This is an absolute corker of a debut, different and intelligent, it wormed its way into my thoughts and then proceeded to hunt them down. Narrator Jane tells of her friendship with Marnie, and the seven lies that change that friendship forever. This is Jane’s chance to be honest, and if she had told the truth to start with, Marnie’s husband might still be alive. The introduction to each lie hits with hammer hard precision, there are truths waiting ready to trip you up. Elizabeth Kay has the ability to blur lines, and I found myself stopping, questioning, considering my thoughts. She quite simply made me look at things in a different way. I write notes as I read, and these were peppered with ‘Crikey!’, ‘Blimey!’, and an awful lot of exclamation marks! Provocative, thoughtful, and so very clever, Seven Lies deserves to be a huge hit. A debut of the month and a LoveReading Star Book, Seven Lies comes with a tremendous thumbs up from me.

A story of female friendship, with a twist. It will hook you in and not let you go until the very end.
I really enjoyed this book, even though it got pretty tense at times. Although it's difficult to say much about it without spoiling the reader's enjoyment, it is essentially a story about female friendship but with a twist. The story is told from the point of view of one of the two best friends, and chronicles their lives from the age of 11, moving seamlessly between past and present, without confusing the reader. It is very well written: it hooks you in from the start and then it's very difficult to put the book down.... Read Full Review
It all started with one little lie . . .
Jane and Marnie have been inseparable since they were eleven years old. They have a lot in common. In their early twenties they both fell in love and married handsome young men.
But Jane never liked Marnie’s husband. He was always so loud and obnoxious, so much larger than life. Which is rather ironic now, of course.
Because if Jane had been honest – if she hadn’t lied – then perhaps her best friend’s husband might still be alive . . .
This is Jane’s opportunity to tell the truth, the question is:
Do you believe her?
