An enjoyable read that kept me guessing throughout. I read this book in two sittings and will look out for more from the author.
This tells the story of a counsellor, Susannah and her new client Adam. Set in her consulting room, this fast paced read is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing.... a dark read perfect for summer.
Thank you to netgalley, the author and publisher for allowing me to read in return for a review.

Overall this is a good read. There is a lot to it and it is surprising in places. I feel however that I have read better thrillers which have gripped me more.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

This was the first book I have read by this author but it won't be the last. It's a long conversation between two seeming strangers who share a past unknown to one. Gripping as it unfolds.

Completely thrilling!! I devoured this in one sitting as it I just wanted to keep turning those pages to find out what happens. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I had a bit of a Simon Lelic binge last month when I discovered The House and then proceeded to read all of his back catalogue and it is safe to say this new novel is of the same standard as everything else I have read from him. The different POVs kept things interesting and I liked how the backstory was drip fed throughout. Definitely recommend. Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin and the author for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

♥I got an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley and this is my honest uninfluenced review♥

Rating: I won't rate a book that I didn't finished, but if I must, I would say 3 of 5

This is basically the first time I've ever stopped reading a book in more than like the first two or three chapters. The point is. I just don't give a shit. I'm not interested or curious about what happened and what will happen. For the first time I just didn't finish a book. That's not a bad book. That's not a crappy book. It just didn't hook me up. And I'm like the most curious person in the whole world. I actually describe me as pathologically curious. But this book didn't interest me. It really hurts my feelings - and my pride - that I didn't finish this book, I just couldn't keep going through a book that didn't interest me. I'm not sure if it was the way the book is written - I was at 47% and basically all that happened was the two main characters talking. Also, I don't know it that was a problem with my device (despite the fact it was the first time it happened) but the whole book wasn't the way it should be - like paragraphs starting out in the middle of a sentence. I have another book from this author on my tbr list and I strongly hope that I'll like it.

This was a fantastic book. I just had to finish it!

It is based in one room for the entirety of the book, with flashbacks, it was so interesting and original. I would highly recommend it.

Thank you for letting me review this book Netgalley

Totally engrossing. Really didn’t know where this story was going but gripped by what unravels. Nail-biting page-turner.

I really enjoyed reading this. there are only 2 main characters and the story takes place in one room, apart from the flash backs, but it was a real page turner. The story is based on a frequently used idea, revenge for an action in the past, but it reads as a new and different concept. I was hooked and really wanted to get to the end to find out what happened.
I can thoroughly recommend this book.

Set aside a couple of hours before you sit down to read "The liar's room" - you're going to need it.

Twists and turns come thick and fast in this tale of a counsellor and her first meeting with a new client. Both have secrets, but whose will prove deadly?

Fast paced and compelling, I read this in one sitting. It's a rare book that keeps me guessing these days, but I wasn't even thinking of what might happen next. I was too riveted by what's happening now.

One of the best books I've read in a long time.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I tried to get in to it but failed, it’s very different to the normal thrillers I read, so would be good for some else , the writing was fine , I just couldn’t get into the story’s, I would still recommend this book to anyone my style off story is different to someone else..

This book follows Susanna and Emily, a mother and daughter who are seemingly normal. Except Susanna has a whole other history within her life which Emily and her colleagues are totally unaware of.

Adam makes an appointment to see Susanna, who is a counsellor. Yet, again, not all is as it seems. Much of the story plays out within the small counselling office. Adam and Susanna are linked in a way she never imagined and as the drama unfolds the web of lies, for both of them, unfolds.

This story is very dark and does not have much joy within it, yet the author maintains the suspense and a good pace throughout. Worth a read if you are fan of psychological / crime thrillers.

TheLiar'sRoom #NetGalley Thank you so much Penguin books uk and NetGalley for the chance to read this for free in return for an honest review. Well this was more like the book I like to read a book where you don't know where the story is going or how it will end. Peaked my interest as there was reviews already from some of my favourite authors so thought that was a good sign.
Susanna has started a new life as a counsellor when one day she has rather different client one that knows her, knows her secrets..... thoroughly enjoyed this book will definitely be looking out for more of Simon Lelic's books

The Liars Room is quite a fast paced read, with the majority of the present day story taking place within a few hours and running alongside this is the "back" story of Susannah namely "The Liar". I've really enjoyed the other Simon Lelic books I've read, always found them to be a little "different" and thought provoking and whilst I quite enjoyed The Liars Room in my opinion some of his past books are better. For me it was quite predictable from about a quarter of the way in and I must be honest I almost didn't finish it.........however I did and I didn't hate it or even dislike it, but it certainly wasn't as good as other books |'ve read this year.

This is a plot in an original setting,exceedingly cleverly developed. The author shows a remarkable understanding of the emotions of them win characters despite their different age groups and positions in the story. The climax unfolds gradually and very effectively. It would be difficult not to be affected by the experience of the young male character or the older counsellor. This is a very good and challenging read.

Exciting read, a high speed emotional roller coaster. A woman with a secret who is visited at her place of work by a new client who is not whom he first appears to be. This is a story of revenge rolling back the years to when Susanna was a different person with a different life.

A fantastic thriller. The dark and twisted plot hooks you from the start teasing key plot points throughout leaving you craving more answers at the end of each chapter.

5 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley, Simon Lelic and Penguin Books for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Liars Room started of really well, but after that I really struggled to it.

Wow. Didn’t want to put this down. Kept me gripped from start to finish

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for ARC and opportunity to provide an impartial review in advance of publication. This is the second book I have read by this author and whilst it didn't reach the heights of the previous one (The House) it did nonetheless prove to be an enjoyable read. Number of twists along the way including one major one added to enjoyment and no hesitation in awarding four stars and recommending to other readers of this type of genre.
