Neve Connolly looks down at a murdered man.

A mother.
A wife.
Neve Connolly is all these things.
She has also made mistakes.
One that is now spiralling out of control.
Bringing those around her into immense danger.

A cheat.
A threat.

Reviews
'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre, upon whose shoulders other writers stand' -- Erin Kelly
'French, the pseudonymous couple who single-handedly revamped the psychological thriller in the 1990s, show they remain as expert at suspense, plot and the psychology of stressed heroines' * Sunday Times *
'The Lying Room is a return to their roots, and oh boy, is it a good one... With its terrifying premise - how easy it is for an ordinary woman to find herself faced with evil - The Lying Room isn't merely a return to the form of Nicci French's earlier chillers - it's even better' * Observer *
'It's Nicci French perfection - which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued' -- Sophie Hannah
'The Lying Room reasserts Nicci French as the master of duplicity, suspense and sleight of hand' -- Sam Baker
'The hook of The Lying Room is chilling: a woman discovers the dead body of a man she knows and doesn't tell a soul. From the very first page, Nicci French remains one step ahead of us as we race to unpick Neve Connolly's deadly tangle. Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable' -- Louise Candlish
'You know a book's gripping when you sneak away at any opportunity to read it. Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute' -- Sarah Vaughan
'This book is a pure adrenaline rush!' * Jenny Colgan *
