The first standalone novel in ten years from best-selling writing partnership Nicci French, The Lying Room was the subject of a ten-way UK publishing auction and much anticipated release.

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. Described as ‘a breathless psychological thriller which grabs you by the heart from the first page. The Lying Room confirm Nicci French as a giant of the genre, upon whose shoulders other writers stand.’ Erin Kelly
