I Know You Lied by Lesley Sanderson psychological thriller  

Nell lived with her grandmother Lillian whilst growing up, her parents having died in a

car crash when she was small. She moved away aged 16 needing to get away from

Lilian's overprotective clutches. She has a job and a flat and is surprised one day to

receive a letter from a solicitor telling her about her mother's will and recent death.

She has only sporadically kept in touch with Lillian and on going back to the family

house finds a stranger there who turns out to be a relative and Lillian for now, living

elsewhere. Why has Lillian hidden the fact that her mother was alive all these years?

Nell feels robbed of the chance that she could have met her as she lived not too far

away. Alternate chapters take us back to around the time that Nell was born. I liked

Nell and her tenacity to find out what had happened. Lilian is really not a nice

person and only has her own motives at heart. A clever concept and one woven

nicely. I had my suspicions and it kept the grey matter active. An interesting read.
