The grand Chedwell Estate, known as Blessinghurst Manor, looks like a picture of peace — a Tudor masterpiece tucked deep in the English countryside. But behind its elegant façade lies greed, resentment, and murder waiting to happen.

After their father’s death and their mother’s crippling stroke, siblings Roberto and Stella Chedwell are at war over their inheritance. In a desperate bid to keep the peace, Stella hires a curator to manage the family’s priceless art collection before Roberto can ransack it.

Enter Mikky dos Santos — brilliant artist, expert forger, and reformed criminal.
From the moment she arrives, Mikky senses danger. The charming yet menacing Roberto seems to be hiding something — and when rumors surface of his mafia connections and a bounty on his head, Mikky realizes she’s stepped into far more than a family feud.

As she pieces together a web of lies, illicit affairs, and deadly secrets, Mikky must decide who to trust—if anyone. Because at Blessinghurst Manor, truth is a weapon… and the next victim could be her.

A gripping international thriller filled with psychological tension, high-stakes deception, and shocking twists, Truthful Lies will keep you breathless to the last page.

Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, David Baldacci, Lee Child, Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, and Robert Ludlum.
