Resumen del Editor

“I devoured this book in one day, and I guarantee you will too.”—Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell

“An expertly woven story of love, revenge, and murder. In a world where so many books feel so similar—this was a refreshingly unique read and an addictive blend of love and mystery that I couldn’t put down. This is storytelling at its finest and I can’t recommend this book enough.”—AR Torre, New York Times bestselling author of Every Last Secret

Bestselling romance author Sarina Bowen’s debut thriller, about one woman’s search for the truth after receiving a text from her deceased ex.

She thought it was love. Then he vanished.

On an ordinary Monday morning, Ariel Cafferty's phone buzzes with a disturbing text message. Something’s happened. I need to see you. Meet me under the candelabra tree ASAP. The words would be jarring from anyone, but the sender is the only man she ever loved. And it's been several years since she learned he died.

Seeing Drew’s name pop up is heart-stopping. Ariel’s gut says it can’t be real. But she goes to the tree anyway. She has to.

Nobody shows. But the text upends everything she thought she knew about the day he left her. The more questions she asks, the more sinister the answers get. Only two things are clear: everything she was told five years ago is wrong, and someone is still lying to her.

The truth has to be out there somewhere. To safeguard herself—and her son—she’ll have to find it before it finds her. And with it, the answer to what became of Drew.

For fans of Laura Dave and Julie Clark, but with a heart-stopping romance that only Sarina Bowen can execute, The Five Year Lie is a spine-tingling thriller that will have you guessing until the very end.

Great story

Great narration and story definitely worth a credit. Keeps you on your toes. Just wish it was duet but my only gripe everything else was great

Engaging, great narration, suspenseful

This audiobook was so much better than I expected it would be. The pace was perfect and the characters well detailed. The narrator for the female lead captured the emotions of her character so well that she had me actually crying at one point.
I don't think I have ever had that happen with an audiobook before.

yes! loved it

unputtadownable i liked it aoooo much. very very good. you will like it as well. don’t hesitate

Good story!

I just liked it all! Character building was so believable. I can believe perhaps the author is either a mother herself or close to someone who is. The little boy in this book was so adorable and wise as children sometimes are… I was hoping for a good ending but you’ll have to hear it yourself…!

A must for domestic thriller fans!

The Five Year Lie has just taken one of the top spots on my 2024 favorite books list. I only put it down when I was forced to (for sleep and work). It’s a reading hangover kind of story, with all the emotions mixed together for the perfect reading storm. It is so intricately written, with layers on layers, and is incredibly gripping with so many clues and possibilities of where the story may go.

If you are a domestic thriller reader, you NEED to read this! Now. Don’t wait. But be warned, you will feel all the things.

I also listened to the audiobook version of this book, which was absolutely fantastic. I listened at 1.9x speed (my normal audiobook speed ranges from 1.75-2x).

Best story I've listened to in years!

What a wonderful thriller and romance all wrapped up together. The narration was fantastic. I'm usually very harsh on female narrators but Kathleen Early did a fantastic job of drawing me in and making me feel part of the story. I rooted for all them while I tried to figure out the mystery. 5 star plus more!

Couldn’t stop listening!

So goood! I love Sarina Bowen and this new genre for her shows how versatile she is.
Great story and characters.

Amazing thriller

I couldn't stop listening to the book. So many twists and turns and I loved the pace of the plot and I loved reading about Ariel, Draw and little Buzz.

Perfection

I freaking loved this audiobook. The narration is perfect and the story of fantastic. I love a good mystery/thriller/suspense and Sarina nailed it.

Fave scene…the bus scene. I love the random act of kindness when Ariel needed that extra boost to keep her going🥺

Just wow!

I love Sarina!!!! All of her books are a must for me but she is in a whole new level now and she owns it! Can’t wait for more.
