Books on Tour - Good Little Liars by Sarah Clutton

Today I am pleased to be taking part in Bookouture's Books on Tour promotion to celebrate the publication of Sarah Clutton's release 'Good Little Liars'



Emma held the photo for a long moment before her eyes focused on the girl’s face. She dropped it and let out a muted cry. The girl in the photograph was Tessa.

Twenty-five years after losing her friend Tessa in a tragic accident, Emma’s life is happy and settled. She rarely thinks about the day that Tessa fell to her death, or the secret that she made Emma swear to keep just hours before. But when her marriage implodes, Emma and her daughter find themselves unexpectedly moving into the headmaster’s former cottage on the grounds of her old school – Denham House. And it’s here she finds the photograph: an explicit image of Tessa, looking directly at the camera.

Between catching up with old friends Marlee and Clementine, who are home for a reunion, and the demands of single parenthood, Emma has plenty to distract her… but she can’t shake the image of the photograph. Or the thought that it’s proof of something she had long suspected: Dr Brownley, now headmaster, was involved with Tessa. Was it a mistake to keep quiet about what she knew?

Marlee and Clementine have their own complex feelings about returning to their hometown. And when Emma starts to question what really happened to Tessa, each woman must deal with the consequences of decisions they made all those years ago. Because the more Emma digs into the past, the more she discovers that everyone remembers it differently, and that the innocent schoolgirls she thought she knew are hiding some very big secrets.

A page-turning novel about family drama, lies, and the secrets we keep to protect those we love. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, The Silent Wife and Kerry Lonsdale.


'Good Little Liars'  is Sarah Clutton's debut novel and is a a great novel set around a tradegy that happened during the last year of school for Emma where she lost her best friend, Tessa.

I absolutely loved this book. Based on two timelines I really enjoyed the timeline featuring the last year of secondary school where Tessa was found dead. It was great to read. As a child I loved stories set in schools, Good Little Liars is definitely not Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers or St Clares, but it felt like a grown up story set in a school setting. 

The storyline features childhood friends Marlee, Clementine and Emma and they all retell the tale through their own narrative as the secrets unfold and the truth is discovered.

Good Little Liars is a fantastic read and I recommend it to all my blog readers.I am already looking forward to reading Sarah Clutton's next release.

Thank you to Bookouture for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
