4.5 Hearts I believe this is the first book from this author that I have read. But I do not believe it will be my last. 

What a story. This book kept me not only reading but guessing. If you are a fan of suspense thriller than this is the book for you. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. I love a thriller where I find myself changing the who-dun-it in my mind a number of times. And this one did just that.

The sisters are all grown now and have kept a lot of secrets over the years but now they are all unraveling. 

Want a gripping thriller that will leave you wanting more? You have found it.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

The liars sister was a great book. It kept me guessing with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed the narrative of the characters.

The Liar's Sister, by Sarah A. Denzil is a fast-paced thriller about two sisters, Heather and Rosie, who are reunited at their parent's house after years of being out of touch. There is still tension between the sisters, because things have not been the same for them after a boy named Samuel disappeared 10 years ago. Heather believes that Rosie had something to do with his disappearance. The truth begins to unravel as Heather confronts Rosie and begins putting together the pieces.
I thought the story moved along well, it kept me interested for the most part. There were quite a few twists that kept me guessing right up to the end. I would recommend this thriller.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher.   What a fast paced thriller,  never read anything from this author before but I will certainly do in the future.  Great read.

Rosie & Heather are sisters but they are very different. Rosie is the risk taker, the outgoing one whilst Heather is the more thoughtful one who always tries to think of the consequences of what she is going to do. Growing up they had been close but somewhere along the line they grew apart. Was that from the night a local lad went missing & Heather saw her sister climbing back into their bedroom covered in mud & obviously upset?

There had been little contact between them, but now as their mother is dying they return to their childhood home, but it is obvious that there are many in the village that want them gone as soon as possible. The story is told from the sister's point of view & from a then & now perspective. It is full of family secrets & their consequences. It was quite an easy read & I didn't see the revelations at the end coming.

Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

I tried but I'm sorry: the book couldn't hold my interest. I see the glowing reviews and came to think it's me. Thanks, though, to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy!

The story was told between the past and the present which really helped to set the scene of the story. 

Estranged sisters haunted by the past are reunited at the death of their mother. 

A family drama built on secrets and lies, an enjoyable easy read

Rating: 3.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review! 

Slight spoiler!

I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed reading it, and it was definitely a page turner but it was lacking in something for me. The plot was pretty predictable, and it was almost frustrating because it took so long for Heather to find out. There was a couple of twists in there that I didn't predict and saved the book for me; I loved how the book ended with a letter, and that was it, there was no reaction from the sisters, I found it quite poetic. 

Sooo yeah, it was enjoyable, a little annoying in the middle just waiting for things to progress, but a good ending.

The Liar's Sister By Sarah A Denzil 
I enjoyed every minute of this book! As a huge fan of Sarah's book Silent Child I was delighted to get an advanced copy of this book and it did not disappoint.  
I loved the characters and really enjoyed the plot.  The book had a great fast pace. This was a two day read for me, and I had to force myself to put it down at 1am to get some sleep and woke early on Saturday morning to finish it! 
Thank you @netgalley Sarah A Denzil and Bookuture for sending me this book to read.

I just love the way this author writes and when her latest new psychological book came available to read and review I had to request it and oh what a brilliant book The Liar's Sister by Sarah A. Denzil was. I just loved it. It was addictive, with lots of secrets and lies within the characters, fast-paced with lots of twists and turns everything you need in a good book. So, if you like books like this, this is a book for you. this new psychological thriller, 

This book opens with a letter from Heather to her sister Rosie. This letter that tells Rosie that her sister knows what she did all those years ago – that she knows Rosie is a murderer. However, Heather never actually sends that letter to her sister. 

Samuel Murray disappeared when they were younger and everything changed between Rosie and Heather. Soon, after high school, Rosie packs her belongings and leaves home. She rarely comes back to visit. Rosie once was a straight A student changes and goes down a long road of self-destruct path. Her much loved father dies and she goes home for the funeral and then leaves again for five years. 

Years later her mother is now gravely ill and Heather knows she must find Rosie before its too late.

Where has Rosie been all those years? 

What has she been hiding?

Can Rosie find Heather before it's too late to say Goodbye to their mum?

Where does Heather start?............to look for Rosie?

I highly recommend this book and all Sarah's books.

Big Thank you to Bookouture, Sarah A. Denzil and Netgalley for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased.

I received a copy thru Netgalley for a honest review.
THE LIAR'S SISTER by Sarah Denzil , is a very quick read and a little predictable. I figured it out pretty easily . I couldn't relate with Heather if I thought my sister committed a crime I would talk to her about it.

I've been reading this book for 3 weeks now and I just can't seem to get into it or care enough for any of the characters to actually want to pick it up.  It's unusual for me to not fall madly in love with a character but I'm not sure that any of these characters have given me a reason to want to get to know them better yet. 

I've made it halfway through and it feels like it may finally be getting somewhere, but it's been so slow and repetitive so far that I'm not sure I can continue. I see others have posted that they're glad they stuck with it because it gets better so I may pick it back up later but it just isn't doing it for me right now and has put me in a reading rut. 

I don't think the writing, itself, is bad. It just seems to go on and on, without truly getting anywhere and the story of their past and mother seems to take up too much time. The sadness over the mother and anger towards Rosie feels too repetitive to me. I want to skip over those parts, but it feels like they keep popping back up, over and over.

Two sisters, Rosie and Heather, have a special bond until Rosie accuses Heather's boyfriend of assault.  Heather doesn't believe Rosie and suspects Rosie was behind her boyfriends disappearance.  As adults, the sisters rarely have contact.  Rosie drifts from place to place and Heather takes care of their mother who is diagnosed with terminal cancer.  One of their moms final wishes is to see Rosie one last time.  After a diligent search, Heather locates her sister and Rosie agrees to come home.  When their mom passed away Rosie and Heather work together to finalize the estate   As they go thru their parents things, secrets are exposed and Heather feels that  can't fully trust Rosie, in fact Heather doesn't know who she can fully trust. As the story concludes, Heather is left reeling as the truth is finally revealed.  I enjoyed the story but at times it seemed long and drawn out.  About two thirds through the story, the suspense started building and as the truth was revealed, it was hard to put the book down.  The ending was shocking and unexpected.  I almost stopped reading it and I'm glad I finished it, it did not disappoint. Thank-you to Netgalley, Bookouture and Sarah Denzil for an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

A SHOCKING DISAPPEARANCE. A VILLAGE FULL OF SECRETS

Ten years ago, a boy named Samuel Murray went missing from the quiet village of Buckthorpe and was never seen again.

Rosie Sharpe cried over her missing friend for weeks after. But her little sister Heather knows that Rosie’s tears hide the truth. Because the night Samuel was last seen, Heather watched her older sister climbing back through the window of their childhood bedroom. Her jacket torn, her eyes wild and her body trembling with fear.

Heather never told anyone what she saw, but secrets can’t stay buried forever…

This book started really strong, but as the story unfolds it loses strength, I felt disappointed, I didn't hate the book, I think the plot is a good one but it gets very slow too many times throughout the book. 

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  #NetGalley #TheLiarsSister

Combine a good sprinkling of mystery, secrets, grudges, gossip and jealousy and you end up with Sarah A. Denzil's latest offering - The Liar's Sister. 

Told in dual timelines between sisters Heather and Rosie, secrets are revealed at an even pace as the story progresses to the present day, with the revealing chapters dipping back ten years near the end to expose what really happened. 

Neither of the sisters were overly likeable and it seemed that I never got to know who Heather really was. Rosie suffered from addictions to both drugs and alcohol and as a child, was troublesome - she led a very chaotic life.

Enjoyable from the very first page, this was an easy read  It was a family drama at its heart, with secrets and lies aplenty and a very satisfying way of revealing and exposing them.  The Liar's Sister was so well plotted, with each chapter delivering new revelations. The tension built to a point where everything just exploded and an enigma of families, murder, betrayal, abuse and grief were just the tip of the deceptive iceberg that eventually collapsed.

The perfect setting of Buckthorpe - a quiet, small, closed-off village - helped to make the whole story seem very believable, seeing what isolation can do to a small community of people and the lengths to which they are prepared to go in order to hide the truth.

There were a few reveals in the story that I didn't see coming and they completely blew me away. The final chapter was a rather appropriate end to the book. Once started, The Liar's Sister was a story that demanded to be finished and I was only too happy to oblige. This was such a terribly good, heart-pounding, twisted psychological thriller that I have no hesitation in recommending to fans of this genre. 

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from Bookouture via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

A thoroughly enthralling mystery/psychological thriller. I liked the way that the many layers of the story unfolded and the way the it flip-flopped between past and present. Sarah Denzil is an excellent writer who manages to maintain the suspense up until the very last moment. I really enjoyed this book and would be happy to recommend it.
My thanks to Sarah Denzil, Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to give my unbiased opinion.

Two sisters and a secret that no-one talks about but has virtually estranged them.  The girls come together as their mother is dying.  The story takes off then to a whirlwind of a finale. So many twists and turns and long buried secrets. A good read.

I enjoyed this but the ending got a little out of control and silly. Kind of the standard British “gripping thriller” fare. But it held my attention.

On the one hand when teen Samuel Murray disappeared, life went on as usual. However, this certainly wasn't the case for best friend Rosie Sharpe. She never got over his loss. It is now ten years later, and now Rosie is back home and is facing the real truth of everything.

When Samuel became missing, Heather immediately suspected Rosie because she something that made Rosie look very guilty, but Heather never said a word. Now that both sisters are back home in the village of Buckthorpe, the truth finally begins to reveal itself.

Rosie and Heather do not get along at all, but with their mother being very ill now, they are forced to be together. Things begin happening and as it turns out, Heather is not the only one who suspected that Rosie knew more about what happened. Furthermore, this unknown person is determined to reveal the truth, as well as other hidden facts, but also creates an incredible element of danger that faces them now.

What a story! This certainly was not a family drama, although family had everything to do with it. No, it was full of secrets, twists, danger and murder, and these very things flowed throughout the pages. I found this book to be very interesting and loved how the family dynamics were explored and how the suspense built up until the very end. This is my first read by Sarah A. Denzil, but I love her writing style and cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us readers.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

I give this book a 2.5. 

Heather is back in her hometown taking care of her dying mother. Her sister -- an alcoholic with a destructive past -- Rosie makes it home just in time to say goodbye. Rosie hasn't been home in 10 years, after Heather's boyfriend disappears. Their mother's last words to Heather are that she doesn't regret anything, but Heather doesn't know what that means. After their mother's death, the sisters start receiving threatening letters and are followed. But who is doing it... And why?

While it is a good premise, I was bored through about two-thirds of the book. I kept reading to find out the end, but it dragged more than this kind of book should. Not to give away the end, but you definitely need to suspend a fair amount of disbelief to get through it. And while I didn't guess the exact ending (which was a positive,) it also wasn't super far off from where I landed early on. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book on exchange for my honest review. It did not influence my opinion.
