A thrilling look at the dark side of the bright young things... shifts like quicksand under your feet
A slick and pacey thriller that will keep you reading through the night
I loved this book ... It combines a furiously twisty plot with utterly believable characters. A winner
Blown away by the writing in Call Me a Liar . . . good line after great line and a brilliant, totally contemporary setting with bright young things way out of their depth
Topical, morally ambiguous and with a pace that never lets up, it's a blistering thriller written with Colette's usual deftness of touch. Brilliant!
Call Me a Liar is a twisting, pacy novel which takes a cast of brilliantly drawn characters and puts them through the wringer. Tense and complex, the story is rich with sharp observation, pitch-perfect dialogue, and the skilful writing we've come to expect from Colette. Another great story from one of my favourite writers
Beautifully written, with characters that leap off the page.
I loved how chillingly claustrophobic this book is. The corporate 'bonding' was scarily relatable and it tapped into a lot of my fears, as I'm sure it will others! The steady increase of their moral conundrums is perfectly paced ... Brilliant.
You're in for a roller-coaster ride, with the tension ramped up and a twist round every terrifying corner.
Extremely thought-provoking ... my interest was piqued by the initial set up, and maintained throughout. A twisty plot ... Recommended for those wanting a modern and complex thriller
A complex read with an unusual subject matter, this is about ambition, greed and love - the perfect combination for a riveting read!
Colette McBeth is a queen of the psycological thriller, with each novel twistier than the last
