Fantastic book! Can’t believe the talent of this debut author - very excited to see what will be next!
Lisa

This book has all the hallmarks of a bestseller. From page one, Perfectly Woven Lies wraps you in a web of quiet suspense and psychological tension that refuses to let go. Isla is the kind of protagonist who lingers in your mind—flawed, resilient, utterly compelling. The writing is crisp, the pacing razor-sharp, and just when you think you’ve figured it out… the rug is pulled. Fans of Lisa Jewell, Karin Slaughter, and B.A. Paris will devour this. It’s a masterfully crafted debut that deserves a place on every thriller lover’s shelf.

Beautifully written, deeply unsettling—and utterly unmissable. From the first page of Perfectly Woven Lies, I was hooked. Isla’s quiet strength and the slow unravelling of her world made for a read that was as heartbreaking as it was empowering. The tension builds like a whisper, until suddenly—boom—you’re holding your breath and racing toward an ending that changes everything. If you’re a fan of Karin Slaughter’s grit, Lisa Jewell’s tangled truths, or B.A. Paris’s psychological precision, this debut delivers in every way. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.
Elaine Wells

A gripping, emotionally charged thriller that lingers long after the final page.”** Perfectly Woven Lies threads suspense and psychological insight into every chapter, pulling readers into Isla’s carefully controlled world—then unravelling it with devastating precision. With a protagonist you’ll root for and a twist you won’t see coming, this is a story about control, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to reclaim your life. Perfect for fans of slow-burn thrillers with real emotional bite. If you think you know how this ends… think again.

Thank you for writing such a wonderful book. I started Perfectly Woven Lies yesterday and absolutely loving it. Two days later and OMG I couldn’t put it down, I was willing her to leave him and the ending was not what I expected- the tellings of a great book. But I want to know who sent her a text- does this mean a sequel? Here’s to many more bestsellers from M C Fox!
