Includes an exclusive audiobook Q&A with Michael Robotham and narrator Stephen Shanahan

I look along the road and notice how many people are standing outside their houses or watching from doorways and windows. Staring. Studying.
'Do you think this town will ever forgive me?' I ask.
'Not in a million years.'

Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn't expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia's Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association.

His return to the former goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved - the ones he couldn't save.

Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago.

The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.

A compelling, devastating story about family and the long shadows of the past. Tell Me Something True is unforgettable (KARIN SLAUGHTER)
Tell Me Something True is my book of the year. This compelling, intriguing and entertaining masterpiece examines the conscience of a whole town, and should win every award going. Genius (LIZ NUGENT)
This is Michael Robotham's masterpiece. From the first chapter, you know you are in the hands of a storyteller at the peak of his powers. It is tender, heartbreaking, beguiling, enraging, exhilarating and triumphant, sometimes all on the same page. An epic elegy of love, family, morality and justice that deserves to be showered with awards (CHRIS BROOKMYRE)
This is the book Michael Robotham was born to write. Tell Me Something True is a skilled anthropologic dig into the heart of the small town, its characters and motivations. In Robotham's hands the small becomes big in terms of showing how the ripple effects of crime move through us no matter where and how we live. This is a universal story (MICHAEL CONNELLY)
Emotional, startling and beautifully crafted; it brings small town Australia into your living room (VAL MCDERMID)
This novel and its characters will stay with me forever. I ached, cried, and laughed and it felt like I bled right along with them. No one will ever forge a flawless novel, but with Tell Me Something True, Robotham has gotten as close to it as I've ever seen (DAVID BALDACCI)
A triumph. A gripping page-turner with a vivid sense of place, impeccably drawn characters, a plot you can't second guess, and real emotional punch. I loved it (CHRIS CHIBNALL)
Tell Me Something True is a profoundly rich and heartbreaking novel about the singular endurance of love in all its forms, even through unthinkable and compounding tragedies. Michael Robotham demonstrates uncommon insight into the suffering and survival of a family devastated by murder and its myriad aftermaths. Here is a master storyteller reminding us that hope is more powerful than grief (JEANINE CUMMINS)

This is one of the most moving books I have read so far, The story is so beautiful and so sad, and at one stage I could not stop sobbing. The characters are beautifully drawn up. The story is atmospheric, but so melancholic that, at times, it was difficult to continue, I just felt that the main characters had deserved so much better and it was clear from the beginning that there would be no big happy ending - but as the main characters grew on me, I was happy even for small mercies. For me the book falls into the same category as The Lewis Trilogy by the recently deceased Peter May (RIP) which I equally loved. Great book.

Absolute masterpiece

It is hard not be moved by the main character’s story. Everything in the story feels unfair and it is sad how the system failed innocent people. The reader does a wonderful job.

Incredibly touching
