Mahmood just keeps getting better and better -- Simon Lelic Imran is probably the most exciting crime fiction author in the UK right now and All I Said Was True is further proof of that. The dual narrative is exhilarating, the plot complex and layered, the writing is perfect and the narrator's voice is somehow both unreliable and trustworthy. Superb stuff -- M. W. Craven Wonderfully twisty and kept me guessing all the way to a really satisfying denouement -- Ajay Chowdhury This novel haunted me with its lyrical lies -- Jane Corry A suspenseful and intriguing thriller, layered with authenticity and told with real poise -- Victoria Selman
