Reviews / Votes
Action-packed, high-stakes suspense, brilliant characters. A series to watch. * Mason Cross * A fast and ingenious thriller that pits the brilliantly addictive Forrester and Davies against a tense and chillingly real Russian conspiracy. Even better, Tell Me a Lie combines all the excitement of spooks, fast cars, guns and helicopters with brave and compassionate female characters who all pass the Bechdel Test with flying colours! I'm full of admiration. * Isabelle Grey * High-octane, Jason Bourne game-playing Brit noir * Jack Grimwood, author of the bestselling Moskva * Brilliantly and intricately plotted, C J Carver has produced another explosive read. Don't miss it. -- Lizzie Hayes * Mystery People *More details
