Description de l’éditeur
Three women. Two bodies. One big lie...
'Shocking and scandalous' Cosmopolitan
Working at an elite private school nestled in the Colorado mountains, office assistant Natalie dreams of having a life like the school moms she deals with every day. Women like Brooke - a gorgeous heiress, ferociously loving mother and serial cheater - and Asha, an overachieving and overprotective mom who suspects her husband of having an affair.
They have one thing in common: the handsome, charming assistant athletic director Nicholas, who Natalie loves, Brooke wants and Asha needs.
But when two bodies are carried out of the school early one morning, it seems the jealousy between mothers and daughters, rival lovers and the haves and have-nots has shattered the surface of this isolated, affluent town - a town where people will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Set in a world of vast ranches, chalet-style apartments and mountain mansions, The Lying Club is a juicy thriller of revenge, murder and a shocking conspiracy - one in which the victims aren't who you might think.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pill-popping Natalie Bellman, the protagonist of this disappointing psychological thriller from Ward (Beautiful Bad), wakes up early one morning in her car in the parking lot of the Falcon Academy, an elite private school in the Colorado mountains where she works as an administrative assistant. Vaguely thinking she's done something regrettable, she wanders over to the gym. Through a window, she spots a body in a pool of blood and wonders, "What the hell did I do?" Flash back six months. Natalie is over the moon when she hooks up with ladies' man Nick Maguire, the highly sought-after academy coach. Despite Nick's desire to keep their relationship a secret, she believes he's serious about her, especially after he breaks up with his girlfriend. But when she presses Nick about going public with their relationship, he breaks up with her. Natalie then self-medicates and stalks Nick. Meanwhile, she also cultivates relationships with two mothers who have hired Nick to give their daughters private soccer lessons. The three soon learn Nick isn't who he seems. Stock characters match the predictable plot. Readers can safely skip this one.
