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 Kateā¦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:
"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...
Caldwell's plot moves
smoothly, juggling a
number of perspectives
without losing steam."
- Publishers Weekly
The Good Liar strikes like an
assanssin's bulet: sudden, swift,
precise, deadly.
-James Rollins, New
York Times bestselling author
"Caldwell, best known for chick lit,
including The Night I Got Lucky, now
ventures into thriller territory.
When Liza Kingsley set up her best
friend, Kate Livingston, with
Michael Waller, she never imagined
they'd fall in love and marry within
a matter of months. Liza and Michael
share a secret: they're both members
of the Trust, a covert operation
founded by Liza's father to protect
U.S. interests. Kate happily settles
into her new marriage, but she can't
help but notice strange things about
her husband's life. Why is she
forbidden to enter the private
meeting rooms at his restaurant? Why
is their house bugged? Liza is
chasing down a mystery of her own:
Who killed her former lover, a
Russian journalist who was
investigating the Russian mob?
Filled with romance and
intrigue,this thriller will both
please Caldwell's fans and attract
new readers."
