Everyone here has killed someone.

There is no way off this island.

You will all either kill or be killed here.

One of these statements is a lie. But which one?

Amira’s less than thrilled to be spending the weekend with her husband’s university friends. Two of them are hosting a joint fortieth on a private Scottish island, with vintage champagne, expensive gifts, and soaks in the wood-fired hot tub. Despite the luxury, Amira knows she’s going to feel left out, not to mention freezing cold and cut off.

When they decide to play ‘two truths and a lie’, anonymously posting three statements about themselves into a box, years of resentment start bubbling to the surface. And then an extra slip of paper emerges, scrawled with three chilling threats. Who wrote it? And are two of the statements really true—have they all been responsible for someone’s death?

With no phone reception and no way off the island, the group are trapped here until the end of the weekend. And as tension rises and secrets are spilled, they can’t shake the feeling that they’re not the only ones here. Is someone watching them? Someone who wants them dead? Or is it one of them who has murder in mind?

Reviews for Truth Truth Lie

[Candice · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed the story and the characters, but found the ending a bit disappointing.

[edwardsgt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Cleverly plotted story of old friends gathered together on a remote Scottish island to celebrate twins Jonathan and Vicky's 40th birthday. Long held and suppressed tensions explode during a game of truth truth lie, which appears to have been hijacked by someone to expose the underlying tensions.
