Neve Connolly looks down at a murdered man. 
She doesn't call the police.  
 
‘You know, it’s funny,’ Detective Inspector Hitching said. ‘Whoever I see, they keep saying, talk to Neve Connolly, she’ll know. She’s the one people talk to, she’s the one people confide in.’
 
A trusted colleague and friend.
A mother.
A wife.

She has also made mistakes.
One that is now spiralling out of control.
Bringing those around her into immense danger.
 
A liar.
A cheat.
A threat. 
 
Neve Connolly is all these things. 
 
Could she be a murderer?

"‘French, the pseudonymous couple who single-handedly revamped the psychological thriller in the 1990s, show they remain as expert at suspense, plot and the psychology of stressed heroines’ " - Sunday Times

"'The Lying Room is a return to their roots, and oh boy, is it a good one... With its terrifying premise – how easy it is for an ordinary woman to find herself faced with evil – The Lying Room isn't merely a return to the form of Nicci French's earlier chillers – it's even better' " - Observer
