Julie Compton creates fascinating characters, and she milks them for all they're worth. She plays us like violins, too, and the ending leaves us panting for more. There is evidently a sequel coming pretty soon. When I finished Tell No Lies on my Kindle, I was sitting in the local Burger King. My thought was, "Holy mackerel, what an ending!"

Idealistic St. Louis prosecutor Jack Hilliard appears to have it all: intelligence, good looks, a great job, and a solid marriage with his wife, Claire. When Jenny becomes the main suspect in a shocking murder, and Jack is the only one who can prove her innocence, he faces an excruciating choice: save Jenny by speaking out, or save his marriage and career by remaining silent.
Compton proves she has real storytelling skills.
Praise for TELL NO LIES. Compton’s debut is a taut, tense cautionary tale complete with courtroom drama and a surprise ending. Compton proves she has real storytelling skills. Tell No Lies' final twist is as stunning as that classic surprise in Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent. South Florida Sun-Sentinel. A real seat-edge thriller packed with the heady ingredients of power, passion, lies, lust and disaster. Peterborough Evening Telegraph (UK).
