The Whole Truth

An attractive student. An older professor.

Think you know the story? Think again.

'Riveting' Shari Lapena

'So twisty, so timely, so terrific' Nicci French

'My new favourite crime series' Louise Candlish

She has everything at stake; he has everything to lose. But one of them is lying, all the same.

When an Oxford student accuses one of the university's professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley's team think they've heard it all before. But they couldn't be more wrong.

Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student a six-foot male rugby player.

Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. What they don't realise is that someone is watching.

And they have a plan to put Fawley out of action for good...

The fifth twisty, up-all-night thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling Cara Hunter. For fans of Shari Lapena, Claire Douglas and Lisa Jewell.

Reviews

Fantastic . . . my favourite series ever!

—— Shari Lapena, author of SOMEONE WE KNOW

Fresh, fast-paced, and confident - with a mass of cork-screwing twists

—— Sarah Vaughan, author of ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

I was totally gripped and terrified!

—— Araminta Hall, author of OUR KIND OF CRUELTY

Secrets spill out as the story twists and turns and, with its pacy end, this is a summer must

—— Woman's Weekly

With intriguing twists and turns and a pacy end, this is a perfect summer read

—— Woman's Own Magazine

A dissection of the cobwebs of relationships that, on one hand, keep families tied together; but on another drive them apart

—— Canberra Times

Nicola Moriarty has a gift for domestic drama, cracking pace, and skilful narrative timing

—— Sydney Morning Herald

Clever, tense and jam-packed with twists and turns you won't see coming . . . while there's quite a large cast of characters to follow, you never lose track of what's happening thanks to Moriarty's polished writing and character-work. Dark, twisty and utterly enthralling, You Need to Know is a gripping domestic thriller with Netflix written all over it. It is yet another unputdownable read from the very talented Nicola Moriarty

—— Better Reading

You Need to Know offers a tense, well-crafted storyline, interesting, multifaceted characters, and a sensational climax. I think Nicola Moriarty has found her niche in the Aussie domestic thriller genre

—— Book'd Out

Moriarty has delivered another gripping domestic drama about secrets, lies and fractured families. She builds the tension so expertly, with twists and turns leading towards one cracking end, that you may well need to see a chiropractor afterwards

—— The Australian

A brilliant thriller

—— Bella

Praise for Nicola Moriarty

Had me turning the pages into the small hours

With secrets and intrigue, this is a compulsive read

Moriarty rocks the drama genre

Nicola Moriarty belongs to a family tree laded with writers. She more than holds her own

—— The Australian

Nicola's got great pace and snappy dialogue, and I especially like her male characters

—— Liane Moriarty , Sydney Morning Herald
