#Bookouture #Netgalley
Book Summary

Emma held the photo for a long moment before her eyes focused on the girl’s face. She dropped it and let out a muted cry.The girl in the photograph was Tessa.

Twenty-five years after losing her friend Tessa in a tragic accident, Emma’s life is happy and settled. She rarely thinks about the day that Tessa fell to her death, or the secret that she made Emma swear to keep just hours before. But when her marriage implodes, Emma and her daughter find themselves unexpectedly moving into the headmaster’s former cottage on the grounds of her old school – Denham House. And it’s here she finds the photograph: an explicit image of Tessa, looking directly at the camera.


Between catching up with old friends Marlee and Clementine, who are home for a reunion, and the demands of single parenthood, Emma has plenty to distract her… but she can’t shake the image of the photograph. Or the thought that it’s proof of something she had long suspected: Dr Brownley, now headmaster, was involved with Tessa. Was it a mistake to keep quiet about what she knew?



Marlee and Clementine have their own complex feelings about returning to their hometown. And when Emma starts to question what really happened to Tessa, each woman must deal with the consequences of decisions they made all those years ago. Because the more Emma digs into the past, the more she discovers that everyone remembers it differently, and that the innocent schoolgirls she thought she knew are hiding some very big secrets.

Good Little Liars

Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Sarah Clutton, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

Sarah Clutton’s debut book Good Little Liars is definitely a gripping, emotional, page-turner with a breathtaking twist. It seemed as if each character had so much drama going on more so than a prime-time soap opera! This book really kept you on your toes with all the twists and turns.

The cover design for this book is one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen. It was simple but so elegant.  Kudos to the graphic designer on this cover.

Sarah had an incredibly hooking prologue that I loved. However, it was disappointing that it didn’t immediately carry on to the first chapter.  It took me a while to get as into it as the prologue. The story eventually picked up and the pace was fast and exciting.

One huge theme in this book is infidelity and how husbands can’t keep it in the pants! However, I could not stop laughing when they got caught in the act! Oh those were good scenes!!!

I loved the mystery surrounding who killed Tess from when they were in high school (ironically the year I graduated). The case had never been solved years later. Being that their high school reunion was coming up it was all being brought up again.

Sarah had so many amazing storylines that weaved into the main one. There was literally something in this book for everyone. She even covered a shared kiss between two women that lead to a confession.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Prince Harry fan (we are both gingers) for many reasons! So when there was a line in the book about him and if he was still single I was smiling ear to ear!!
