Resumen del Editor

Bestselling author Lucinda Berry serves up a haunting thriller about four friends sworn to secrecy over the events of one fateful summer—and the dark truths that threaten to erupt years later.

They never considered how his wife might react, or that by the end of the summer a man would be dead. But Blakely always got her way, and the others followed her lead—even when they knew it was dead wrong.

The girls had been friends from day one at Camp Pendleton, a haven for gifted children. But their senior summer was different. When Mr. Crosby, the handsome tennis coach, wound up murdered after a reckless lie, Blakely, Grace, Meg, and Thera swore themselves to secrecy. And never spoke to each other again.

Until now. Twenty years later a sinister note claiming to know what they did brings them back together. And once again Blakely is pulling the strings.

Unfolding in a dual timeline, If You Tell a Lie is a disturbing journey into the dangerous, sometimes deadly consequences of peer pressure—with a bone-chilling twist you’ll never see coming.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[A]nother poisonous Berry special…The hits just keep on coming. Be glad you’re a reader and not a character.”—Kirkus Reviews

Bad ending

The ending was very disappointing. Too many unanswered questions. The build up was slow and too long. Not my favorite.

Not worth the read.

The book itself was ok, some stories were a but confusing, The ending was absolutely terrible, unfinished, too many unanswered questions, it feels like the writer had to go somewhere so the ending was quickly finished without thought or quality. Very disappointing.

Kept me guessing!

I love Lucinda Berry- she never disappoints. AJ Cook did an amazing performance of the story. I thought about this book when I wasn't listening to it! Like most of her books, this one has the darkness of real life that keeps you on your toes while trying to figure out what is true and what really happened. When this one ended I had so many feelings but would never spoil someone else's experience so I will keep them to myself lol.

Just okay

The plot was okay, but predictable. However the recording was awful. The voices were trailing off at the end of words or moving away from their mics and it made it difficult to understand. I had to turn the volume way up the hear those parts, and when they were speaking into the mic it was too loud.

Twist

The audio narration was fine, although it was difficult to keep up with who was speaking without looking at the chapter titles. It was an OK book, not her best, but I still finished it, I wanted to see what happened.

5⭐️

The Queen has done it again!! Speachless!! Now let’s deal with the LB book hangover.

Brilliant plot

Fabulous story and great narration but the ending of the story was terribly, terribly disappointing

Another winner from Lucinda Berry

I usually enjoy Lucinda Berry books more the second time around, so my stars might go up.m

A lie told at camp results in murder and ruins the lives of a family. Or was it the truth. At a camp for gifted children, four teens have been friends for a decade.

Twenty-six years later the women come together after receiving mysterious letters from the recently released murderer. Or were the letters from someone else.

Some teenagers grow up to become better versions of their youthful selves. Some don’t.

Don’t miss out on this amazing book!!

This was an awesome audiobook!! I don’t want to spill anything, but it’s definitely a book you should read/listen to. It’s either love it or hate it. I absolutely love this book!!!

Not the best

I was excited for this new book. I found it hard to keep track of the 4 main characters and their flashbacks. The story had potential but fell flat for me.
