It’s publication day for Rona Halsall.
Her twisty psychological thriller about dark family secrets, Her Mother’s Lies, is published today by Bookouture.
Following Martha and her quest for the truth, this is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that’s impossible to put down…
What if the person you trust most in the world, has been lying to you for your whole life?
He was there for her first steps, for her first day of school. He helped her with her homework, and took her for ice cream at the weekends. And then, two days before her ninth birthday, Martha’s father walked out. She never knew what went wrong, but she and her mother Fran never saw or heard from him again.
Fifteen years later, frustrated in a life which consists of caring for an increasingly-ill Fran, and heartbroken after the death of a beloved friend, Martha decides she needs some answers, and she knows it’s time to track down the father who left them behind.
Except when she comes face-to-face with him for the first time in fifteen years, he tells her a brutal truth.
He isn’t her father… Her mother has been telling lies… And not just about who her real father is …
