Sie wohnt in einem schönen Stadthaus in der besten Straße des Viertels und hat drei aufgeweckte Kinder, die ihr ganzer Stolz und ihre Freude sind.Das hat sich Marianne stets so gewünscht, denn sie wird immer noch hin und wieder schmerzhaft an ihre Vergangenheit erinnert: an den Verlust ihrer Mutter und das Aufwachsen in Pflegefamilien.Auch ihr Mann Simon ist immer für sie da. Er ist charmant und als erfolgreicher Chirurg ist ihm nichts zu gut für seine Familie: Blumen, Geschenke, Reisen nach Frankreich, alles was man sich nur wünschen kann.Doch dann sagt Simon plötzlich den Namen einer anderen Frau, und die Art und Weise, wie er ihren Namen ausspricht, Caroline, lässt Marianne einen Schauer über den Rücken laufen. Aber sie weiß, dass sie diesen Anflug des Misstrauens nicht zu ernst nehmen darf.Früher hätte sie sich mit ihrer Arbeit abgelenkt, doch Marianne hat ihre glamouröse Karriere hinter sich gelassen, als sie geheiratet hat. Eigentlich würde sie sich einer Freundin anvertrauen, aber sie ist zu sehr mit ihren Kindern beschäftigt, und außerdem mag Simon die wenigen, die ihr noch verblieben sind, nicht besonders.Zuerst beginnt Marianne fast zufällig, mehr über Caroline zu erfahren. Doch als sie einmal angefangen hat, kann sie nicht mehr aufhören. Denn was sie herausfindet, zwingt sie dazu sich zu sorgen, ob die Frage nicht sollte ich eifersüchtig sein, sondern sollte ich Angst haben lauten müsste.Fans von Girl on the Train und Alleine bist du nie, die auf der Suche nach einem düsteren, packenden Psychothriller sind, werden von All die kleinen Lügen begeistert sein.Was Leser über All die kleinen Lügen sagen:Omg dieses Buch!!!!!
