The professional and the personal intertwine in unexpected ways — in edge-of-your-seat style — in Louise Tickle’s un-put-down-able Between the Lies thriller.
On the night of her ninth birthday, Cherry was there when her mother and brother were killed, and her father was subsequently jailed for their murders. After being brought up by her aunt and uncle in West Wales, she’s forged a career as a freelance journalist in Bristol, with a special interest in domestic abuse and the complex realm of family courts.
Just as Cherry randomly meets a woman whose case of domestic abuse and ensuing fight to protect her children captures her attention, she receives a letter from her father — he wants to meet her, which throws her into disarray, and compels her to read up on her family tragedy.
In her day job, Cherry has to keep an open mind about both parties. In her personal investigation, she realises not everything was exactly as she remembered. In both situations, Between the Lies is powerful on the dissonance between instinct and truth, the complexities of memory, and what makes a reliable witness. In short, it’s an out-and-out page-turner.

Between the Lies Synopsis
When it comes to families, is anyone a reliable witness?
Cherry Magraw can never forget the date her mother and brother were killed – the night of her ninth birthday. When her father was jailed for their murders, she lost everyone she loved.
Twenty years later, Cherry is a freelance journalist investigating domestic abuse and the secret world of the family courts, when she gets a letter from her father – still in prison for the killings – which contains a startling request.
From that point on, her past becomes entangled with her work, dismantling everything Cherry thought she knew about her family tragedy and plunging her into a dangerous of game of cat and mouse. Will her history cloud her judgement about another desperate family? And how far will she go to save someone else’s children?
