    One of Us Lied

    A missing woman. A shattered town. A truth no one saw coming.

    Claire Whittaker has a good life… a respectable job, close friends, and a charming boyfriend everyone adores. Marcus Jenkins is steady, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of man Claire always hoped she’d find. Together, they seem picture-perfect.

    Until the night Claire disappears without a word.

    As days stretch into weeks, speculation runs wild through the small town of Ashmoor. Did Claire finally snap under the pressure no one else could see? Did she leave to start over somewhere new? Or has something happened that no one’s ready to admit?

    When evidence surfaces, the people closest to Claire must ask themselves difficult questions. How well did they really know her? And what secrets was she keeping behind closed doors?

    One of Us Lied is a gripping, slow-burn psychological mystery about love, trust, and the stories we tell ourselves to keep the truth at bay.
