A gripping and suspenseful debut thriller, with more twists than The Couple Next Door
Imagine you've finally escaped the worst relationship of your life, running away with only a suitcase and a black eye.
Imagine your new next-door neighbours are the friends you so desperately needed - fun, kind, empathetic, very much in love.
Imagine they're in trouble. That someone is telling lies about them, threatening their livelihoods - and even their lives.
Imagine your ex is coming for you.
If your new best friends needed you to tell one small lie, and all of these problems would disappear, you'd do it, wouldn't you?
It's only one small lie, until someone turns up dead.

Industry Reviews
"Intense, unpredictable and completely addictive - One White Lie is everything a great psychological thriller should be"
TM Logan, bestselling author of The Holiday
"Even the biggest thriller fan will struggle to guess the ending of this twisty, gorgeously written debut"
Rolling Stone
"Believable twists imbue the narrative's urgency as each character's secrets are spilled and as Lucy's past catches up with her. Lucy's credible fears about Davis elicit empathy. Konen should win a new set of fans with this domestic thriller."
Publishers Weekly
"A swift, compelling thriller with unexpected swoops and swerves."
