No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The acclaimed author of The Nanny and What She Knewโhailed by stalwarts including Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Rosamund Lupton and Tess Gerritsen โreturns with another serpentine thriller that cleverly blends atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and twisty secrets from the past into a potent, intense read that will leave you questioning everything you believe.
To tell you the truth . . . everybody lies. Lucy Harperโs talent for writing bestselling novels has given her fame, fortune and millions of fans. Itโs also given her Dan, her needy, jealous husband whose own writing career has gone precisely nowhere.
Now Dan has vanished. But this isnโt the first time that someone has disappeared from Lucyโs life. Three decades ago, her little brother Teddy also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the only witness, helplessly spun fantasy after fantasy about Teddyโs disappearance, to the detectivesโ fury and her parentsโ despair. That was the start of her ability to tell a storyโa talent she has profited from greatly.
But now Lucyโs a grown woman who canโt hide behind fiction any longer. The world is watching, and her whole life is under intense scrutiny. A life full of stories, some more believable than others. Could she have hurt Teddy? Did she kill Dan? Finally, now, Lucy Harperโs going to tell the truth. Cross her heart. And hope to die.
