Synopsis

This “brisk, crafty, and fascinating psychological thriller” (The Washington Post) from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger follows a chronic liar who finds herself trapped in her own web of deceit after her friend goes missing.

Lana Granger lives a life of lies. She has told so many that the truth is like a hazy nightmare she can’t quite recall. About to graduate from college and with her trust fund almost tapped out, she takes a job babysitting a troubled boy named Luke. Expelled from schools all over the country, the manipulative young Luke is accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana, he may have met his match. Or has Lana met hers?

When Lana’s closest friend, Beck, mysteriously disappears, she resumes her lying ways—to friends, to the police, to herself. After all, she will do anything to hide the truth about her whereabouts the night Beck disappeared but it might not be enough to keep her ominous secrets buried: someone else knows about Lana’s lies. And he’s dying to tell.

Masterfully suspenseful, finely crafted, and written with a no-holds-barred raw power, In the Blood is “an absolute corker of a thriller that cements Lisa Unger’s status as one of the brightest stars in the game” (Dennis Lehane, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

This is available TODAY!!! Oh how I love Lisa Unger and her fictional little world in "The Hollows"-where many of her stories take place. Having read five of her books so far, IN THE BLOOD is definitely my favorite! Lana Granger is hiding from her past. She was a troubled child- whose world took an ev......more

3.5 stars. Creepy doesn’t begin to describe this thriller. I read it in 2 days; I couldn’t put it down. It’s written in first person narrative, (the unreliable narrator), Lana Granger. We learn quickly that Lana is a trauma survivor, her mother is dead, and she is a compulsive liar (by her own admis......more

I just read the last chapter of this book standing up, going backwards and forwards, whilst I was meant to be doing something else. This was good. It made it last longer. It drew out the end and made me work for more. This was my first book by Lisa Unger, and like so common for me, I'm late to the p......more

This was my first time to read a book by Lisa Unger. I'm not sure at this stage if I will read any more. I thought this really started off very well, suspenseful, thrilling, creepy, a good haunting atmospheric setting, lots of twists and turns, unreliable and disturbed characters, basically all the......more
