A perfect Christmas. A perfect family. The perfect lie…

At Lazarus House, Christmas is done properly: candles, old silver, roaring fires, snow on the lawns and a family determined to carry on as normal.

Eloise Hart has been welcomed into that family as Sebastian Lazarus’s devoted girlfriend. Since the accident that left him in a coma, she has stayed by his bedside, supported his mother and become part of the household.

But Sebastian’s sister, Imogen, doesn’t trust her. She thinks the woman everyone calls loyal may be something far more dangerous.

Then a member of the family vanishes during a Boxing Day blizzard.

As the search spreads across the frozen grounds, Lazarus House begins to reveal what it has been hiding. Because the Lazarus family has secrets of its own.

Someone at Lazarus House has lied.

Someone has killed.

And once they discover the truth, they will make sure no one else ever does…

Every family has traditions. This one has a body in the snow.

For readers who love glamorous gatherings, snowbound secrets and families who know exactly how to lie,
Merry Little Lies is a darkly elegant psychological thriller set inside one unforgettable Christmas at a country house where the most dangerous guest is not the only one hiding the truth. A dark, twist-filled psychological thriller perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Shari Lapena and locked-room mysteries where every guest has something to hide.
