Book Review : One Little Lie by Sam Carrington





  • This intricately plotted thriller is the story of three women,two sons and the psychologist who finds herself caught up in their twisted web of lies and deceit.The story is voiced by a multitude of vivid characters but is easy to follow because each chapter is titled with the name of the character whose actions and interactions that chapter is about.Although DI Lindsay Wade and Mack do appear in this story they are only essentially secondary characters.I was a bit disappointed about this,I like the interactions between Lindsay and Mack and I personally would have liked there to have been some chapters covering their investigation into the disappearance of Isabella Bond.The main protagonist in this story is psychologist Connie Summers who we were introduced to in Sam Carrington`s previous book Bad Sister.I really liked Connie`s character in the previous book but in this one she was very irritating at times especially during some of her interactions with Lindsay Wade.I had mixed feelings about some of the other characters,although their actions were morally wrong,once you learnt their back stories,it was hard not to feel just a tiny little bit of sympathy for them. I don't know how I would react if I found myself in the same situations that some of the characters found themselves in.


You definitely have to give this tale of manipulation,lies,secrets,obsession and seeking redemption and forgiveness your full attention.Although it can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone,throughout the story there is quite a number of references to events that happened in Bad Sister.So if you haven't read Bad Sister yet,it might be advisable to read that one before reading One Little Lie. This book would cause some interesting discussions if it was read by a book group due to some of the issues that are raised throughout the story.
