This is the first book 'adult' book from Sophie McKenzie I've read since reading her young adult books years ago. Girl Missing was, and still is, one of my all time favourite books, so I was excited/anxious/intrigued by the prospect of Here We Lie. I didn't know what to expect but Here We Lie was gripping, agonising, exciting and an all round brilliant physiological thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A book of paranoia filled suspense; I had no idea how the story was going to pan out. The surprises just kept on coming, along with a superb ending. Would definitely be interested in checking out other works by the author.

This book is a thriller and one I enjoyed very much.
The main character Emily is engaged to Jed and they appear to be very happy together.
They go on holiday with some family members and someone dies !

I received this book from the publisher via netgalley in return for an honest review.

Emily is enjoying her holiday with her fiance Jed and his family. A tragic accident sees his daughter Dee Dee dead. When they return to the UK Emily starts uncovering secrets that make her believe that Dee Dee's death may not have been an accident.

I found this mystery to be a lot more gripping compared to Close My Eyes. The pacing was a lot better as well. The author did put a lot of red herrings in however I did guess what had happened. Although I did guess what had happened I did still enjoy reading this.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested right up until the end. I intend to pick up moe from the author in the future.

Just couldn't engage with this book at all. The characters, for me, were dull and uninspiring... meaning that I wasn't in the slightest bit interested in what happened to them.
