The Woman Who Lied

Definitely a unique thriller I have ever read. Highly recommended for those in book slump or even for beginners starting the habit of reading..

🔹 My take: 3.5/5🔸 Emilia Ward is best selling author of 9 books and the fictional detective in her books Miranda Moody is a character readers have loved. Emilia is on verge of writing her 10th book which she feels is the most difficult since she is planning to make some big changes in them and coincidentally her life starts mimicking those troubles in real life too. Strange incidents start popping up in her life and she starts connecting dots that these incidents are same to scenes she has written in her earlier books. Then an incident occurs which is identical to the scene she is writing for her current book and hell breaks loose. Emilia and her family are in danger and try to break the pattern.💖 Wows - Claire Douglas continues to be one of my favourite thriller authors. The Woman who lied starts with a bang and the thrill aspects begin from chapter 1. The writing is as always fast paced and interesting. Different characters are introduced at regular intervals and contribute to the overall story. And of course the plot of a writer writing books is always lovely to read.💔 Ows - I found the other books by the author like ‘The Couple at no. 9’ and ‘The Girls who disappeared’ better. This one had all the right elements but maybe the mystery was a tad bit predictable and hence I am unable to give it full 5 stars.💫 As a fan of Claire Douglas, I would recommend this to all thriller lovers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
