What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Karen M. McManus, the internationally bestselling YA thriller author of One of Us Is Lying, is back with a brand-new murder-mystery – you won’t be able to resist Such Charming Liars.
When mother-daughter con artists set out on their final heist before cleaning up their act, it's not long before the job turns deadly and they have a lifeless body to contend with . . .
For all of Kat’s life, it’s been her and her mother, Jamie - except for 12 years ago, when Jamie was married for two days and Kat had a stepbrother, Liam. But all that ended in a swift divorce.
Now Jamie is a con artist trying to go straight, but she has one last job, at a billionaire's 80th birthday party. Neither Kat nor her mother know about two surprise guests: Liam and his father, a serial scammer with his own sights set on Ross Sutherland’s family.
Kat and Liam are on a collision course to disaster, and when someone dies, the two teens realize they might be in the killer’s crosshairs. They can’t trust anyone except each other.
Or can they? If there’s one thing both of them know, it’s how to be such charming liars . . .
