When a body is pulled out of an office fire, three women are first in line for questioning.
All of them have reasons for wanting revenge against the company’s CEO.
There could only be one reason why Harry had allowed this to happen. Mia had to be better than her. That was the only thing Laura could think of – her replacement had done a better job in the last six months than she had in five years.
It could be Laura, who has returned to work to find that her maternity cover isn’t leaving. The CEO insists he’s doing what’s best for the company. Laura isn’t convinced he’s telling the truth.
Or there’s Mia. Brought in as temporary cover for Laura, she has quickly made herself indispensable – and popular with her colleagues. But if people knew why she was so desperate to keep her job, they might not welcome her so freely.
Then there’s Janie, wife to the CEO, who gave up her courtroom career to support her husband and his business. She has her own secret to protect – and will go to any length to keep it safe.
They never thought it would come to this.
Heidi Perks lives by the sea in Bournemouth with her husband and two children.
Heidi graduated from Bournemouth University with a BA (Hons) in Retail Management, and then enjoyed a career in Marketing before leaving in 2012 to focus on both bringing up her family and writing.
Heidi successfully applied for a place on the inaugural Curtis Brown Creative online Novel Writing Course and after that dedicated her time to completing her first novel, Beneath The Surface.
She has a huge interest in what makes people tick and loves to write about family relationships, especially where some of the characters are slightly dysfunctional.
Her second novel, Now You See Her was published by Century, part of the Penguin Random House group in 2018 and became a Sunday Times Bestseller and Richard and Judy book club pick.
I was really excited to read another book by Heidi Parks and this definitely hit the spot!
I loved the style of writing and was immediately drawn into the world of Laura, Mia and Janie. This is very cleverly written in sections before the first and then in interviews after the fire.
There are many complex thoughts working through this book Laura is struggling to ‘have it all’ after the birth of her baby. If leaving her precious baby behind at six months wasn’t enough, she returns to work to find her biggest customer has been ‘stolen’ by Mia and she is devastated, she wants it all, but can she have it?
Janie, on the other hand, appears to have everything she could ever want, a stay at home mum to her two beautiful daughters, both in private schools, a beautiful home complete with swimming pool and as much spending money as she wants. On the surface, she enjoys coffee with her friends and a busy life running around the children and school activities. Though underneath she appears to dislike everything about her life aside from her daughters!
Mia clearly has an ulterior motive; she has read Laura well and tricked her into leaving her role while she is on maternity leave. While she’s been gone Mia has ensured that everyone in the office loves her and she gets to keep her role and Laura’s biggest client. With a secret home life and difficulties there her motive doesn’t become clear until the very end.
Everything becomes clear at the end of the book, with a great twist!
Three perfect liars is an emotional journey to follow with many more lows than highs but it’s not a depressing read at all. This was a great page-turner that kept me hooked until the very end as I’ve come to expect from Heidi!
