THE NEXT GRIPPING, EMOTIONAL AND TWISTY PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM LIA MIDDLETON, AUTHOR OF WHEN THEY FIND HER

When fifteen-year-old Anabelle King was assaulted on her way home, she thought she had done everything right. But a vital piece of evidence meant that the jury let her attacker go.

Eighteen years later, Anabelle King is now Ava Knight, a successful barrister who always follows the rules. But that all changes when, one day at court, she reads a familiar name in the file: Michael Osborne. But this time he is the victim of an attack, and in the dock is a young girl: Lily Hawthorne, who pleads guilty without hesitation.

Ava is sure that Lily's plea is not the truth. She knows this man is not innocent. But as she gets more entangled in the case, how much will she have to risk to uncover the truth?

Reviews

Keeps you guessing from start to finish. A fabulous read! Brilliantly twisty and gripping, and so cleverly written, I kept racing through thinking I knew exactly what was coming and I was blindsided more than once! Definitely one of the best books I've read this year Moving, powerful and with a series of genuinely unexpected twists Lia Middleton has done it again! Your Word or Mine is a taut legal thriller that will keep you on your toes until the very last page. Highly recommended. A riveting, haunting novel that will keep you guessing! Just when you think you have it figured out, another bombshell of a twist drops What a page-turner! Nigh on impossible to put down, a compelling read that had me turning the pages late into the night, with numerous twists that took me aback I inhaled Your Word or Mine over two days as I couldn't put this cat and mouse thriller down. Jaw-dropping twists and a tense, clever plot makes this a must read. I loved it! I sped through this incredibly readable thriller, which is exquisitely plotted, unpredictable and utterly chilling. It broke my heart and shook me to the core with numerous bombshell twists Lia Middleton is a great writer. I loved Your Word Or Mine: a thoughtful exploration of the effect a historic crime has on a family, with several huge and elegant twists WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT LIA MIDDLETON When They Find Her opens with an unthinkable wallop to the heart, and takes off racing from there through a perfectly crafted, tightly written, deeply emotional story that taps into the most uncomfortable fears of motherhood and marriage. A stand-out psychological thriller with heart. Superb debut thriller - assured, elegant and utterly gripping. EXCELLENT Brilliantly written ... I felt every single emotion and was immediately swept up into the story. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know Uncomfortable and compelling - a story which is truly the stuff of nightmares. Couldn't put it down A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting A brilliant concept that pulled me straight into the story and kept me hooked to the end An unnerving and gripping thriller in which a split-second choice plunges the protagonist Naomi into a web of terror and lies. Deftly written and chillingly plausible ... a bold, compelling and clever debut A tense and claustrophobic rollercoaster An unforgettable debut with a truly chilling opening chapter that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Clever, compelling, pacy and powerful Had me hooked from the first page ... a gripping and twisty story of grief, fear and the fierce bond of motherhood A brave and suspenseful debut that had me turning pages deep into the early hours. Truly superb It's been a long time since I've stayed up late to finish a book. When They Find Her is not only utterly gripping but also a sensitive and moving portrayal of parental love. Middleton's astute writing made me feel as though I was there was Naomi in her every moment of tension Utterly gripping . . . I could not put it down Nail-biting ... some truly fabulous unexpected turns make this an altogether gripping and provocative read Claustrophobic, intense, unsettling and drags you into the story ... Unbelievably exciting Nightmarish, dark and twisty, I galloped to end. A domestic psychological drama with polish Tense, twisting, clever and credible. Your Word Or Mine takes a thrilling look at the concept of cause and effect, and the complex issue of revenge. I loved it Thrilling and on-the-edge-of-your-seat believable with some absolutely stunning twists which make the most of Lia's expert knowledge as a barrister - absolutely loved this book A cracking read. From the opening words, you know you're in for a ride. Pacy, sharp, I gobbled it in three sittings. Lia Middleton has that rare knack for taking a thorny, contemporary issue and twisting it into a highly entertaining but thoughtful read Enough twists to give you whiplash. This is a clever, shocking read Expand reviews
