Never Lie

Newlyweds house-hunting in a snowstorm end up locked inside the empty manor of a psychiatrist who vanished years earlier. Freida McFadden structures the novel around what Tricia finds while the weather keeps her there: recorded transcripts of Dr Adrienne Hale's sessions with patients. Listening to material never meant for her, Tricia pieces together the circumstances of the doctor's disappearance, and the tapes deliver the story in increments that keep shifting what the present-day scenes appear to mean. The final cassette is where the book collects its debts. Inside the book: • Two timelines running between a snowbound house and recorded therapy sessions • Short chapters built for reading in a single long sitting • A narrator whose reliability the plot keeps questioning • From the bestselling author behind a run of domestic thrillers For readers of twist-driven suspense and confined settings, available at Boipoka.
