Tanen Jones has written a compulsively page-turning story. “I thought I’d just skim a page or two before putting The Better Liar on my ‘to-read’ shelf, but I couldn’t help becoming so drawn in that I had to keep going. Even as Mary begins to suspect Leslie is hiding something, and Leslie realizes the stranger living in her house, babysitting her newborn son, and charming her husband has secrets of her own, Robin’s wild, troubled legacy threatens to eclipse them both.Īn electric, twisted portrait of sisterhood and the ties that bind, The Better Liar is a stunning debut with a heart-stopping, twist-after-twist finale that will beg the question: How far would you go to get what’s yours? But neither realizes how high the stakes will become when Mary takes a dead woman’s name. When she meets a charismatic young woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Robin-and has every reason to leave her past behind-the two make a reckless bargain: Mary will impersonate Robin for a week in exchange for Robin’s half of the cash.

And unbeknownst to anyone, even her husband, Leslie needs it desperately. Now her half of the money may be beyond her grasp. But when their father passed away, Leslie received a rude awakening: She and Robin would receive the inheritance he left them together-or not at all. In the years since Robin ran away from home as a teenager, Leslie has stayed in New Mexico, taking care of their dying father even as she began building a family of her own. If Leslie had arrived at her sister’s cramped Las Vegas apartment just hours earlier, this would have been their first reunion in a decade. “Like most of the dead, I want to be remembered.” When a woman conceals her sister’s death to claim their joint inheritance, her deception exposes a web of dangerous secrets in this addictive new thriller for fans of Megan Abbott, Gillian Flynn, and Paula Hawkins.
