I've had my eye on Rachel Amphlett's books for a while now but I had never got around to reading one until now. What a book to start with; The Friend Who Lied is so tense and compelling that I could hardly tear my eyes away from the pages. I definitely have the Rachel Amphlett bug now.

I was hooked right from the start when Lisa wakes up in hospital after a kidney transplant, only to find out that she is alive because one of her friends has died. This close knit group of five have been friends since university and we soon find out that they used to be a group of six. 'They're all hiding something', I cried and I couldn't wait to find out what! I love digging into fictional characters' lives and we get a good old nosy around in this book!

I found the living donor theme really interesting; it's one thing to get tested when your friend needs a kidney but it's a whole new ballgame when you find out you're a match. It seems like such a no-brainer to save the life of a friend or family member, but I wondered what I would do in the same situation and whether it would be an easy decision to make. With the risk of organ rejection it's not guaranteed to work, but could you live with the guilt if you didn't even try? It's lucky for Lisa that her match died and the decision was taken out of their hands...but was fate the only player in this game?

The Friend Who Lied is an absolute secret-fest; I love scratching the surface and seeing what lurks beneath and in the case of this group of friends, it's very murky indeed. They all have something to hide and it's only a matter of time before the masks start to slip. I absolutely raced through this book and as the web of deceit began to untangle I even found my greedy eyes sneaking a peek down the page!

I can't believe it has taken me so long to read a Rachel Amphlett book but, on the strength of The Friend Who Lied, I'll definitely be adding her whole back catalogue to my wishlist. The Friend Who Lied is faultless and worth every one of the five stars I have awarded it; it's a very highly recommended read and most readers will easily read this in one-sitting.

I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. ( )
