COMP CLOSED ‘Seven Lies’ by Elizabeth Kay

“If lies are dangerous, the truth can be catastrophic . . .”

This week, we’re giving away three copies of the new novel Seven Lies by debut author Elizabeth Kay. It’s being described as the most mesmerising and unsettling thriller you'll read this year!

“It all started with just one little lie. But we all know that it never ends there. Because, of course, one lie leads to another…”
Jane and Marnie have been inseparable since they were eleven years old. They have a lot in common. In their early twenties they both fell in love and married handsome young men.

But Jane never liked Marnie's husband. He was always so loud and obnoxious, so much larger than life. Which is rather ironic now, of course.

Because if Jane had been honest – if she hadn't lied – then perhaps her best friend's husband might still be alive… 

This is Jane's opportunity to tell the truth, the question is: Do you believe her?

Ooooh, who to believe! To be in to win this fresh take on the thriller genre, tell us the biggest or most memorable LIE you’ve ever told (in 25 words or fewer). Our favourite three answers will WIN a copy of the book!

Entries close midday Monday 15 June, Sydney/Melbourne time.

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
