Suspense
Spinning a page-turning story of literary suspense that begins in the present and unwinds back more than half a century, this unforgettable debut channels the haunting allure of Atonement as its masterfully woven web of lies, secrets, and betrayals unravels to a shocking conclusion. Veteran con artist Roy spots an obvious easy mark when he meets Betty, a wealthy widow, online. In no time at all, heβs moved into Bettyβs lovely cottage and is preparing to accompany her on a romantic trip to Europe. Bettyβs grandson disapproves of their blossoming relationship, but Roy is sure this scheme will be a success. He knows what heβs doing. As this remarkable feat of storytelling weaves together Royβs and Bettyβs futures, it also unwinds their pasts. Dancing across almost a century, decades that encompass unthinkable cruelty, extraordinary resilience, and remarkable kindness, The Good Liar is an epic narrative of sin, salvation, and survivalβand for Roy and Betty, there is a reckoning to be made when the endgame of Royβs crooked plot plays out.
