Strange Sally Diamond. The Garden of Your Lies. Set of 2 Books

«Set of 2 Books (Strange Sally Diamond; The Garden of Your Lies)» — is a collection of psychological thrillers about people whose lives are changed by violence, family secrets, and crimes of the past. The edition includes two independent novels by Liz Nugent, which do not continue each other and are read separately. One focuses on a heroine who grew up in isolation and is forced to come to terms with her past, while the other centers on a family where a long-ago crime poisons relationships among loved ones. Both texts are united by a dark atmosphere, attention to trauma, and an interest in how the decisions of others shape people's destinies for years.

«Strange Sally Diamond» begins with an act that seems logical to the heroine but is a shock to those around her. After the death of her adoptive father, she finds herself in the center of attention and gradually confronts a past she knew almost nothing about. The novel revolves around isolation, the consequences of violence, and the attempt to understand a world where familiar rules have long been foreign to her.

«The Garden of Your Lies» unfolds as a family story in which a crime becomes the source of a long lie, dependency, and inner struggle. The tension here is not so much about the unraveling of the mystery as it is about how fear, power, and obsession change relationships among loved ones. Several storylines converge on questions about the price of truth and what happens to a home where the past does not let anyone go.
