Until Proven Guilty

Someone, somewhere is killing young women. And scalping them.

Appointed head of the task force to catch the serial killer, tough DA Kathryn Mackay is soon caught up in the crossfire between press, TV and the police- and reporter Ricardo Sanchez who seems to know more than he should.

Soon the killer is on her case too-sending cryptic taunting note; Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread man.

And run Kathryn does, through the false leads and missed clues, on into the dark tunnels of the killer’s mind-and the terrifying realisation that the hunter has become the prey...

Reviews

I love the Lew Archer books.

—— James Ellroy

The finest series of detective novels ever written by an American.

—— William Goldman

The most brilliant mystery novelist of our time

—— Patricia Cornwell

New Daughters of Africa is a beautiful, essential anthology. It is both long-awaited and urgently needed; it recognises the individual voices and interwoven histories of every facet of womanhood

—— Preti Taneja

New Daughters of Africa is indispensable because African voices have been silenced or diminished throughout history, and women's voices even more so

—— The Irish Times

The mistress of mystery

—— Daily Mirror

Delivered with the sharp wit that we associate with Osman

—— FINANCIAL TIMES

Intricate plots, humour and the most endearing cast of characters

I inhaled Everyone Here is Lying. Shari is a very gifted storyteller, and a most entertaining one. The pace never flags, the twists are fiendishly clever and the writing is as perfect as can be

—— Liz Nugent

Everyone Here is Lying is a Shari Lapena signature read: a taut, clever, chilling ride of manipulation and family secrets, with a terrifying question at its core-what if you can't believe the very people you love the most? Prepare to be consumed!

Gripping, clever, and tightly plotted, Everyone Here is Lying showcases Shari Lapena at her absolute best. I was utterly transfixed. A must-read.

An incredibly clever set-up that made for one of the most gripping and surprising thrillers I've read in a while. A one-sitting read.

Everyone Here Is Lying opens with a corker of a premise that had me racing through the book... a clever twist... a thrilling ride

—— The Observer

A fast-paced read with jaw-dropping twists

—— The i

Shari Lapena is an expert in both pace and the placing of clues and misdirections

—— Literary Review

Shari Lapena has been described as the queen of the 'just one more chapter' thriller, and having devoured this compelling novel in double-quick time it's easy to see why . . . Plot twists are planted like hand grenades throughout the narrative, set to go off when you least expect them, and the denouement is as surprising as it is shocking.

—— Choice

Lapena has great fun pulling secrets from her conjuror's hat . . . when it comes to construction she's a master, her stream of twists and surprises perfectly timed

—— Daily Express

I read this in three days and loved every addictive page
