Add us as a preferred source on Google »If there is one Irish thriller you read this year, then you simply need to pick up The Lies Between Us by Jen Bray.
I read The Lies Between Us earlier this year and was hooked from the very first page. As a debut, it's a total masterclass in writing, and a story that'll hook you from the very first page, and leave you stunned when you read the final page.
Jen Bray is the type of author who is a natural storyteller, one who creates complex but endearing characters, a plot that feels both fresh and riveting, and an author you're bound to adore.
The Lies Between Us has been included in the Amazon Kindle sale for just €1.14.
Trust me when I say you won't regret picking up a copy because this is one of the finest Irish thrillers of the year by a long shot.

What is The Lies Between Us About?
The warring Brown sisters. Lucy. Susannah. Tara. Each is haunted – by disgrace (Lucy), vanity (Susannah) and envy (Tara). Most of all they are haunted by secrets.
Just before a dinner at their mother’s idyllic holiday cottage, Susannah disappears. That same night a young woman is killed violently on a nearby beach.
Amid the confusion the next morning, Lucy discovers a link between Susannah and the murder victim. Lucy must summon all she knows from her short-lived policing career to figure out the connection and find her sister.
But tracking down Susannah means Lucy confronting her own shame. It also means resurrecting ghosts that Susannah, Tara – and their mother – desperately want to keep buried.
This is one Irish thriller you simply need to add to your reading list.
