AN INTENSE, EVOCATIVE DESTINATION THRILLER FOR FANS OF LUCY CLARKE AND WILL DEAN

I thought I saw her today. Down by the water. It was her hair I noticed. Do you ever see her, Lex? Does she haunt you too?

I haven’t been back to Eos since I first met my step-sister, Lex.
It’s been twenty-five years since that summer.
Since we went from strangers to sisters.
Since Abigail went missing.
Since we told the first lie.

Now we’re back together on the island.
So much has changed since we were teenagers.
We’ve both tried to move on from the past – from each other.
But the island won’t let us escape our secrets.

Only me and Lex know the truth about Abigail.
We’ve been living a lie for so long.
And if the truth comes out – neither of us will survive it…

Critics Review

Compelling and utterly transportive – The Liars is a scorching summer read. Katherine Fleet’s gorgeous line by line writing and masterful build of suspense held me rapt on heat-drenched Greek island shores. I absolutely loved it
Lucy Clarke
Secrets and lies cross the two timelines of this novel, which is both a coming-of-age tale and a gripping mystery. And with darkness and intrigue lurking in an idyllic Greek setting, this has got to be the perfect summer thriller
Heat
This addictive thriller about the friendship and rivalry between three teenage girls on a sun-soaked Greek island one summer is everything you could want from a beach read
Red
Taut, tense, stylish and incredibly atmospheric, with a thrilling twist. So propulsive, it grabbed me and didn't let go. The perfect book for summer!
Daisy Buchanan
Completely addictive and wonderfully compelling. A sun-dappled summer escape with a jagged dark heart. You won't be able to put it down
B P Walter
A propulsive thriller...the sultry, sun-soaked setting of Eos in the Greek Cyclades really adds to the atmosphere
Good Housekeeping
Superb storytelling. The ideal read for a holiday!
Prima
Sinister and sun-soaked, and razor-sharp on teenage girl friendships and insecurities. This is a perfectly crafted mystery that I flew through in days
Caz Frear
A fantastic read. Combines elegance, atmosphere and emotional suspense with a twisting, sinister, irresistibly pacy plot that puts The Liars right up there with the best crime thrillers of the moment. I was swept away to Greece and completely immersed in the lives of the three girls, desperate to unravel the secrets of the past. This is heady, seductive, riveting fiction and I enjoyed every page
Emma Stonex
The Liars is an outstanding read. Beautifully written and masterfully plotted – I simply could not put it down
