A CHOIR OF LIARS

One year after seventeen-year-old Arden Vale’s death is ruled a tragic accident, her mother Claire invites five former choir students back to St. Agnes Church in Hollow Lake, Minnesota, to record a memorial hymn.

But the recording session is not an act of healing. It is a trap.

Claire has spent the past year collecting deleted messages, old recordings, hidden files, surveillance fragments, police inconsistencies, and the quiet lies people tell when they believe grief has made a mother weak. She believes someone in that room knows what really happened to Arden at the lake.

As the night unfolds inside the locked church, the former choir members are forced to confront the secrets they buried, the roles they played, and the truth they have avoided for a year. Arden was not simply an innocent victim. She was brilliant, manipulative, loved, feared, and impossible to forget. Everyone loved her differently. Everyone failed her differently.

A Choir of Liars is a dark psychological thriller about grief, guilt, memory, manipulation, and the terrifying power of being heard. Set in a small town where silence is a form of currency, it asks a brutal question: if no one killed Arden Vale, why does everyone sound guilty?
