3 1/2 stars
I have read a few of Shalini Boland's books and do enjoy them. Some more than others. This book was good. Not one on the tops ones, but good.
Tia, Fiona and Kelly have been friends since they were kids. Tia is happily married with 2 small children. Kelly is a widow with 2 almost teenage boys and Fiona is married and is a successfully interior designer. They all seem to have perfect lives and are happy, until things start to happen that could tear their lives apart.
One day on the way home from school Tia's 5 year old daughter is quiet and sullen. When Tia finally gets her to tell her what is wrong she is taken aback. "Mommy why did you kill someone?" It seems some boys at her school are saying this. But once she assures her daughter those boys were just being mean, Tia thinks all is fine. Until she receives photos in the mail that could tear her marriage apart. Why would some one be doing this to her?
Fiona's business is going great, until one day tax auditors show up. Now they are going through all her files and Fiona is afraid she could lose it all.
It has been a year since Kelly's husband died, but she and her boys are finally getting back to normal. That is until the day Kelly helps a woman that shows up at her house and asks for her help.
Why is someone trying to destroy these woman?
The book is told from the POV of Tia, Fiona and Kelly. With each of their chapters we get to see into their lives and what each is going through with what is happening to them. And I did like getting all their perspectives. I did figure one thing out, and then closer to the end figured out who was behind it all.
There was one thing that left me a bit confused, but don't want to say what it was to spoil anything. And while I did enjoy the book overall. It was not a page turner for me. And while I did like getting into the lives of the characters, they did have me shaking my head at times on how stupid they were (especially at the end). Whenever a character in a book is keeping something from a loved one, I am always like "OMG just tell them" but then I think well, that would make for a short book huh. lol
All in all, this was good and I do look forward to reading what the author has next.

Shalini Boland, will your psychological thrillers ever fail to amaze me? No, I think not!"One of Us is Lying" was another page-turner (or binge-listen in my case), and I'd expect nothing less from one of my favorite *1-click* authors!Tia, Kelly, and Fiona are childhood best friends, all grown up and mostly as close as ever. Tia and Kelly each have families of their own, while Fiona, forever career-oriented, makes up half of an outwardly perfect power couple. When rumors start to form, unbelievable photos pop up, and reputations come into question, it doesn't take long for these friends to start doubting each other and everyone around them. You'll have to read it yourself to find out just how it all unravels!Shalini certainly knows how to write 'em! This particular story is told through three main narratives, along with glimpses into a past event that sneaks up every few chapters. "One of Us is Lying" was another one of those books that kept me interested the entire time and made me want to knock some sense into a few of their heads! While I wasn't completely pulled towards one character or another, I appreciated what each of them brought to the metaphorical table. Tia's persona was driven to protect her family, no matter the cost. Kelly desired to help those in need, even at the risk of her family. While Fiona craved peace and success. Perhaps if they'd all confided in each other, to begin with, they'd have figured out how everything connected a lot sooner - luckily for me, they didn't, as that would've shortened things up way too fast for my liking!Now, if you're looking for a binge-read with an ending you won't entirely expect, then look no further! Thank you to the author, the publisher Bookouture and Netgalley, for my complimentary ebook copy of "One of Us is Lying"! I also purchased the paperback and audio format of this title as Shalini Boland is a favorite, and I love following along in multiple ways, depending on my mood! I'd like to note, Katie Villa was an excellent narrator for this piece of work! I have voluntarily and honestly reviewed this title as four stars.
