A gripping debut psychological crime thriller you won't want to miss!

A freak accident. An impossible choice. But what was...

THE FIRST LIE

When Paul Reeve comes home to find his wife in the bathroom, bloodied and shaking, his survival instinct kicks in.

Alice never meant to kill the intruder. She was at home, alone, and terrified. She doesn't deserve to be blamed for it. Covering up the murder is their only option.

But the crime eats away at the couple and soon they can't trust anyone - even one another...

Industry Reviews

This is a real page turner. I finished it in one go!

A master of suspense who knows how to keep readers hovering tensely over the edges of their seats.

Where nothing is as it seems, The First Lie is twisty, layered and compelling. A genuine page-turner, A.J. Park has a big future in British crime fiction

A great thriller that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. A story that will continuously make you question what you would do in the same position. Great read!

The First Lie has everything I want in a thriller. Riveting, fast-paced, and full of twists and unforgettable characters, and that one rare quality: I absolutely could not put it down

What a fantastic read it was! It's a superbly gripping and brilliantly twisty tale

Fast-moving, gripping, the ground shifting perpetually beneath your feet as you read...I read in one sitting.

What an incredible thriller it is. So many twists and turns that I didn't see coming, and extremely engrossing.
