Synopsis

Every picture hides a story. Behind the story lies secrets . . .

In the photograph Martha Benn has kept for two decades, three girls lounge on the grass during a school field trip. Beside Martha, there's Liv, petite and wickedly funny, and Juliet, their unofficial leader, brave, kind, and effortlessly beautiful. Back then, they meant the world to each other. But when Juliet disappeared, the bond between Martha and Liv unraveled too.

Martha was the last known person to see Juliet alive, and she still has no idea what happened after the two said goodnight on a towpath beside London's Regent's Canal. The next day, Juliet's abandoned bicycle was discovered, but no sign of Juliet. Without witnesses or clues, the investigation fell apart.

Martha, now a TV celebrity preparing to host a show investigating cold cases, finally has a chance to get answers. As Martha tries to piece together what happened to Juliet, she realizes that her memories of those long-ago bonds may not tell the whole story. And someone else may know more about Juliet’s fate, and their friendship, than she could ever have imagined . . .

Goodreads review by Jules on April 22, 2018

Having absolutely loved Little Sister, I was really looking forward to Beautiful Liars, which is a story of friendship, secrets and lies. This book’s strength lies in the characters. Yet again, this author has created a good mix of characters that are well developed. I especially liked Casey, who I w......more

Little Sister was one of my favourite books of last year – so twisted yet so insightful so I was SO HAPPY to see “Beautiful Liars” land on my doorstep and it was, if anything, even more compelling. I loved it. This is a story about friendship torn apart by a traumatic event. Once again Isabel Ashdown......more

Three and a half stars Eighteen years earlier teenager Martha left her friend Juliet walking home. Juliet was never seen again. Only her bike was found abandoned. Theories abound as to what happened to her especially after David Crown, an older man the girls knew, also went missing around the same ti......more

Goodreads review by Marjolein on August 13, 2019

Predictable plot, the characters were not very likable and were all a bit one dimensional. I guess it was an okay read but not fantastic. Definitely not a thriller worth your time. Pff. Every single book I've read after Dark Age feels like a major let down.......more
