Critics Review
-
A taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time
Jonathan Freedland on 'The Good Liar'
-
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch
Financial Times on 'The Good Liar'
-
Added to the fiendishly clever plot, Searle's writing is both drily amusing and elegantly crafted. An absolute treat of a book
Daily Mail on 'The Good Liar'

An incredibly dark, taut thriller... Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré
