What to expect

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING HELEN MIRREN AND IAN MCKELLEN

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is a life told back to front.

This is a man who has lied all his life.

Roy is a conman living in a small English town, about to pull off his final con. He is going to meet and woo a beautiful woman and slip away with her life savings.

But who is the man behind the con and what has he had to do to survive this life of lies?

And why is this beautiful woman so willing to be his next victim?

Critics Review

An assured thriller debut in the footsteps of le Carré, Highsmith and Rendell...The Good Liar makes you want to experience Nicholas Searle's next trick
Guardian
This is set to be one of the books of the year that will get everyone talking....If you go in with absolutely no preconceptions, you will have your socks knocked, nay, blown off
Stylist
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch
Financial Times
The Good Liar is a taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time
Jonathan Freedland
All the ingredients are in this book...You're in safe hands with Searle's elegant writing
The Times
An incredibly dark, taut thriller...it deserves to be a bestseller. Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré
Daily Express
Searle shows a gift for complex plotting. The Good Liar is packed with secrets and surprises, bluffs and double-bluffs
Daily Telegraph
A perfectly entertaining way to spend a few hours
Sunday Times
A confident debut...an easy page-turner

A cracking read
Graham Norton, BBC Radio 2
