Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers where the protagonist isn't straightforward and you're kept guessing about who's really conning whom.

  • You're drawn to stories about women seeking revenge or justice, especially when the moral ground gets murky.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward plots where the antagonist is clearly bad and the hero is clearly good.
  • You want a lighter read or something without sustained tension and psychological complexity.
  • You dislike stories centred on con artists and elaborate schemes.

About this book

The Lies I Tell follows a con artist who operates under multiple identities—Meg Williams, Maggie Littleton, Melody Wilde—adopting different personas depending on the location and job. She reinvents herself completely, becoming a college student, life coach, or real estate agent, and manipulates people by telling them what they want to hear until they lose everything. Kat Roberts has spent ten years waiting for the woman who destroyed her life to reappear. When she finally does, Kat resolves to expose her. However, as the two women become closer, Kat's long-held beliefs about the situation begin to shift, forcing her to reconsider who Meg's actual target really is. This domestic thriller explores the inner lives and motivations of two women as they pursue justice for past wrongs and attempt to reshape their futures.
