The Liar's Daughter

No one deserves to be taken before their time. Do they?
Joe McKee pillar of the Derry community is dead. As arrangements are made for the traditional Irish wake, friends and family are left reeling at how cancer could have taken this much-loved man so soon.
But grief is the last thing that Joes daughter Ciara and step-daughter Heidi feel. For they knew the real Joe the man who was supposed to protect them and did anything but.
As the mourners gather, the police do too, with doubt being cast over whether Joes death was due to natural causes. Because the lies that Joe told wont be taken to the grave after all and the truth gives his daughters the best possible motive for killing him...

Mesmerizing to the point of complete distraction. I was totally engrossed in this book AMANDA ROBSON, author of Obsession
Claire Allans transition into crime writing is seamless. Her Name was Rose brings all the emotional heft and depth of characterisation her readers would expect, but with a taut, menacing plot line. A compulsively thrilling read from start to finish. BRIAN MCGILLOWAY, New York Times and Kindle #1 bestseller
I loved it.The plot is twisty and the issues being dealt with here are big scale but told beautifully through Emily. Her envy and confusion is so real as to be palpable and of course, all too relatable. Creepy and weepy. NIKI MACKAY
