Praise for this book

"Readers be forewarned: once you pick up Heard's latest, you won't be able to put it back down, so be sure to clear your schedule. We'll Never Tell is a fast-paced, thrilling murder mystery about friendship, family, and betrayal that twists and turns through parts of Los Angeles seldom seen by outsiders. I could not put it down." - Liz Lawson

"A fun, incredibly nerve-racking read! Readers will be on edge as this group of friends try to claw their way out of the hole they've dug themselves into." - Diana Urban

"Wendy Heard has been my favorite thriller writer for years, and We'll Never Tell is a brilliant example of why: perfect pacing, an incredibly real and immersive California setting, and characters as compelling as they are suspicious. I was riveted by every twist and turn." - Erica Waters

"A fiery, queer, breakneck thriller that will leave you tasting smoke and Hollywood grit on the back of your teeth--a look into who gets left behind when the media makes a spectacle of someone's pain, and what you might do to make that pain worth it. Exhilarating." - Andrew Joseph White
