“Black Narcissus for the Facebook generation; a clever exploration of how petty jealousies and misunderstandings can unravel even the tightest of friendships. Claustrophobic and tense, a thrill-ride of a novel that keeps you guessing.”
Elizabeth Haynes
“The Lie is absolutely brilliant – The Beach, only darker, more thrilling and more tense. Compelling, addictive and wonderfully written.”
Louise Douglas
“Creepy, horrifying and twisty. C.L. Taylor is extremely good at writing stories in which you have no idea which characters you can trust, and the result is intriguing, scary and extremely gripping.”
Julie Cohen, 2014 Richard and Judy Summer Book Club Pick
“A gripping and disturbing psychological thriller: every bit as good as The Accident.”
Clare Mackintosh
“C.L. Taylor delivers another compelling read that’ll keep you turning pages way too late into the night. Warning: may cause drowsiness the following day.”
Tamar Cohen
“My heart was racing after I finished The Lie. Dark, creepy and full of twists. I loved it.”
