Sometimes I Lie: A Crime She Didn't Commit - Paperback

by Erika Berlanga (Author)

Don't miss Erika Berlanga's debut psychological thriller, SOMETIMES I LIE!

"A propulsive, emotionally devastating debut. Berlanga writes with the cold precision of a journalist and the soul of a survivor. You will not put this book down - and you will not forget it." - Advance Praise

The pulse-pounding domestic thriller about an investigative journalist falsely accused of murder, forced to outrun the very people she trusted most - including the man she married.

The truth is the most dangerous story she'll ever write . . .

Claire Ashford has spent eleven years uncovering other people's secrets. She is an investigative journalist. She is a wife. She is a mother. She lives in a four-bedroom Colonial on a quiet street in an affluent Chicago suburb where the lawns are immaculate, the marriages look flawless, and nobody asks questions they don't want answered.

Then her confidential source is found dead - and the evidence pointing to her is precise, specific, and entirely wrong. Her fingerprints. Her car. Her motive. All of it built by someone who knew exactly how close to the truth to stay.

Who killed David Marsh? Who built the frame? Who can she trust? Who is already inside her house? In this electrifying domestic thriller, no one - and nothing - is what it seems. Is Claire running from a corrupt system, or running toward a truth she has been hiding from herself?

Twisty and propulsive, intimate and explosive, Sometimes I Lie is a sharp, sophisticated debut of psychological suspense - a novel that asks how well you can ever truly know the people closest to you, and what survival costs when the answer arrives too late.
