What to expect

There’s your side. My side. And the truth.

Lisa Jewell meets Jodi Picoult in a story of betrayal and deception in the aftermath of family tragedy.

She must face justice. As her sister it kills me to say it. As his mother I demand it.

When Jen Miller entrusts her youngest child to the care of her beloved sisters, she has no idea of the devastating tragedy that is about to unfold.

To celebrate her sister's wedding, global superstar Winter Kellaway throws the party of the decade at her luxurious beachside estate. The decorations are flawless. The champagne is on ice. The guests have arrived. But one misstep will have heartbreaking consequences that will rock this close-knit family to their core.

With her life in pieces, how can Jen ever begin to forgive?

Saul Anguish, a brilliant but tormented young detective, is called in to investigate and uncovers a long-buried and shocking family secret. As the trail takes a dramatic turn, they must now all face the truth that you can never truly leave the past behind . . .

Critics Review

Some Of Us Are Liars is a dark, exquisitely written thriller about sisters bound by secrets and a past that won’t stay buried. Emotionally charged, deeply nuanced with twists that floored me, this is a devastating, tightly plotted and original story that lingers long after the final chapter. A stunning read!
Claire Douglas, author of The Wrong Sister
Devastating and deft, Some of Us Are Liars isn't afraid to confront the worst of humanity - but it does so with tenderness and quiet bravery. You'll be counting down the days to Saul Anguish's next case
Abigail Dean, author of Girl A
Stunningly written with a twist that hits you like a slap around the face. Fiona writes with such emotional resonance that it’s impossible not be deeply moved by the characters as well as enthralled by the plot . . . Absolutely loved it
Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party
In Some of Us Are Liars, Fiona Cummins provokes deep emotions in the reader and makes those pages turn at a rapid clip. An astonishing novel
Ed James, author of False Dawn
A masterclass in tension, with terrific characters and a deliciously dark sense of dread. Some of Us Are Liars is a brilliant thriller
B P Walter, author of The Dinner Guest
Fiona Cummins has that rare ability to write about the darkest of subjects with real pathos, realised most completely in her moody, strange but ultimately deeply sympathetic anit-hero, Saul Anguish . . . A tightly bound plot . . . and characters that settle in your heart
Araminta Hall, author of One of the Good Guys
Heartbreaking, dark and beautifully written. I have reread the penultimate chapter three times and am still gasping
Jo Callaghan, author of In the Blink of an Eye
Dark, twisted, and so very clever — no one writes about families tearing themselves apart the way Fiona Cummins does. Highly recommended
M. W. Craven
Fiona Cummins is the real deal . . . She gets under your skin and goes where other writers do not dare. This book is excellent. The writing is excellent. Not an easy read, and there’ll be tears. You can add them to mine.
