The Lies Between Us

The Lies Between Us by Jen Bray delves into a tangle of family secrets that unfold with gripping intensity. This riveting debut from the Irish journalist draws you into the lives of three sisters, troubled by their past and haunted by present mysteries.

The sisters—disgraced former garda Lucy, renowned novelist Susannah, and the estranged middle sister Tara—face turbulent times when Susannah begins to act strangely during a beachside getaway. Her sudden disappearance leaves her sisters in disarray.

When a body is discovered on a nearby beach, Lucy is relieved to find it’s not Susannah. But questions arise: Where has Susannah gone? And why does the dead woman's name appear in the printed manuscript Susannah was working on?

Lucy steps back into her old investigative role, striving to uncover the truth behind her sister's mysterious vanishing before suspicions circle their family. Her quest not only resurrects ghosts from her own past but also unveils deeply buried secrets. Both Susannah and Tara are harbouring truths they desperately wish to keep hidden, secrets that trace back to their childhoods.
