The Family Lie

You whispered goodnight to your daughter. You didn’t know that would be your last goodbye.

You wake up in the middle of the night.

Your five-year-old daughter is gone.

Your husband is nowhere to be seen.

Your family think he took her.

The police believe he’s guilty.

But he wouldn’t do that, would he?

He’s a loving father. A loving husband. Isn’t he?

An addictive and completely gripping psychological thriller with a twist that will blow you away. Fans of "The Girl on the Train", K.L. Slater and Shalini Boland won’t be able to put down this jaw-dropping novel.

Readers absolutely love The Family Lie:

‘Brilliant... Chock full of twists... Compulsive and very clever... The pace doesn’t let up at all, right until a thrilling end, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘A rollercoaster ride of twists and turns where the truth is not discovered until the very end... Compulsively readable.’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘Buckle up because this book does not slow down!... There are so many twists, turns, ups and downs!’ Goodreads Reviewer.

Previous title THE CHOICE #31 Amazon CA

As a kid, Jake chose to write fantasy because there was no research needed for an invented world. Early short stories covered probably every genre except dieselpunk-romcom. Although he now writes thrillers, Jake’s reading love is true crime. He thinks he’d make a good detective, but his partner points out that he can’t even decide if it was the three kids or the two cats who broke something in the house. His excuse: kids won’t sit still for a polygraph, and cats know their right to remain silent.
