Never lie

When Tricia and Ethan went to visit their dream home, they didn't expect that the mysteries surrounding the former owner's disappearance would become their worst nightmare. How many lies can a person keep without being haunted by them? From Freida McFadden, author of the bestselling The Maid , Never Lie is a sinister thriller that makes one thing crystal clear: every truth has a price.

Tricia and Ethan are looking for their dream home.

Newlyweds set off to visit an old mansion nestled in the woods in upstate New York. However, during the drive to the mansion that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale—a renowned psychiatrist who disappeared without a trace three years earlier—a terrible blizzard begins to fall. When they arrive at their destination, Tricia immediately realizes something is wrong; after all, why would a light be on on the second floor of a long-vacant house?

The storm intensifies, their BMW is covered in snow, the real estate agent doesn't show up, their cell phones lose signal, and suddenly Tricia and Ethan find themselves cut off from civilization. Trapped in the house, fears and secrets neither of them had the courage to share with the other threaten to surface. They just didn't imagine that the house would also hold its own mysteries.

Searching for a book to entertain herself, Tricia searches the overflowing bookshelves and stumbles upon a secret room, also filled with books, but instead of books, she finds cassette tapes: they contain recordings of each of Dr. Adrienne Hale's consultations. Tricia begins listening to them one by one and ends up piecing together a terrifying puzzle, which momentarily distracts her from the uneasy feeling that they are not alone.

What became of the house's former owner? Is she still alive? Is she hiding somewhere? Was she killed by her then-boyfriend, as the newspapers led us to believe, or murdered by one of her patients? And could it be that by stepping into this house, Tricia and Ethan risk starring in a new chapter of this sinister story?

Interweaving past and present in a story filled with mystery, Never Lie is a gripping new thriller from Freida McFadden that will surprise readers with each new revelation.
