ABOUT ONE MORE LIE:
As the story builds,
Lloyd teases and hints with glimpses of Charlotte’s troubled past,
culminating in a shocking conclusion that will leave readers chilled
to the bone. For fans of Sometimes I Lie and Behind Her Eyes, Amy Lloyd
flexes her muscles with a crime fiction novel of unyielding suspense,

lurk in the human mind.

Charlotte
wants to start fresh. She wants to forget her past, forget prison, and,
most of all, forget Sean. But old habits die hard. Despite the ankle
monitor she must wear as part of her parole agreement and
frequent visits to her therapist, she soon finds herself sliding back
towards the type of behavior that sent her to prison in the first place.
The further down that path she goes, however, the closer she gets to
the crime that put her in prison all those years
ago. And that’s the one memory she can’t face. Until, one day, Sean
tracks her down.
This book sounds very good.
