The good liar
by
laura caldwell
Kate Livingston and Liza Kingsley
have been best friends since their
childhood in the suburbs of Chicago.
They know everything about each
other. Or do they?
When Liza sets up the newly divorced Kate with Michael
Waller, an elegant man sixteen years
her senior, neither woman expects
Kate to fall for him so soon. The
relationship is a whirlwind that
enthralls Kate…and frightens Liza.
Because Liza knows she may have
introduced Kate to more than her
dream man; she may have unwittingly
introduced her to a dangerous world
of secrets.
And yet Kate marries Michael and
follows him to a French-Canadian
town called St. Marabel, where she
begins to suspect that Michael isn't
exactly who he seems. As each new
suspicion arises, Kate finds herself
investigating her husband, but what
she doesn't know is that she's about
to steer her friendship with Liza on
a collision course that will race
from the U.S. to Russia and from
Canada to Brazil, and the betrayals
she uncovers could cause the end of
all of them.
Reviews:
Divorcée Kate
Livingston leads a
sedate life in the
suburbs of Chicago,
trying with little
enthusiasm to get back
into the dating game,
when a childhood friend
offers to set her up
with a dashing older man
named Michael Waller.
The two get married
after a whirlwind
courtship, but the
honeymoon is over
quickly when Michael
begins acting strangely
secretive. What Kate
doesn't know is that
Michael is part of a
secret spy organization
called the Trust that
works illegally to
advance American
interests abroad. As
Kate gets more
suspicious, Michael
decides to get out of
espionage, agreeing to
one last contract
killing before he's
through forever.
Caldwell's taut,
enjoyable thriller hits
the ground running,
crafting a
married-to-the-mob
scenario that's
believable and chilling,
then taking the show
around the world. Though
a ham-handed villain
occasionally bogs down
the action, Caldwell's
plot moves smoothly,
juggling a number of
perspectives without
losing steam.
- Publishers Weekly
A taut international thriller certain
to keep readers breathless and awake
until the wee hours of the morning.
-James Rollins, New
York Times bestselling author of Map of
Bones
