Unreliable Narrator

Synopsis

From the author of the hotly anticipated TV series Imperfect Women, starring Elisabeth Moss and Kerry Washington.

‘A thrilling escape with the most unexpected twists’ – Elisabeth Moss

YOUR SECRETS AREN'T SAFE.

Ten years ago, Hope left Somerset with a fatal secret and a broken heart. She has spent a decade in the shadows, living a quiet life of penance to protect the man she once loved – the world-famous author Ambrose Glencourt.

YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN.

Then she opens his latest bestseller. To the world, it’s a brilliant work of fiction. To Hope, it’s a betrayal. Every private moment, every dark truth, and every ‘fatal disaster’ from that summer is laid bare on the page.

YOUR TRUTH IS A LIE.

But Ambrose has changed the ending. In his version of the story, Hope isn't the victim. She’s the villain.

Now, Hope must step out of the shadows to reclaim her narrative. But in a world of glamorous elites and whispered secrets, who will believe the word of an unreliable woman against the word of a literary icon?

Two narrators. One truth. And a secret worth killing for.

Praise for Araminta Hall:

‘Razor-sharp, spine-tinglingly convincing and unputdownable’ – Lisa Jewell, author of Don't Let Him In

‘One of the most daring and intriguing writers working today’ – Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl
