Goodreads review by Mary Beth has lots of catching up to do!

The first couple of chapters were confusing though, switching between Liza and the character in the book she is writing Beth.

Quotes

“If you can only pick one psychological thriller to read this fall, it needs to be Holahan’s Lies She Told.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

“Holahan spins a suffocating double nightmare that provides compelling support for her heroine’s rueful article of faith: ‘to be a writer is to be a life thief.’” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Holahan doles out essential elements of the domestic thriller with style…Even more impressive, the novel is impeccably paced, despite balancing two competing narratives, Liza’s and Beth’s. But this story’s greatest strength lies in Holahan’s ability to understand the genre she is embodying and comment on its blind spots…First and foremost a compelling thriller…[and] both indicative of a genre and outstanding in its field.” Shelf Awareness

“The lines between Liza’s life and the novel she’s composing blur into a fun and compelling mystery. The reader gets to experience the new work chapter by chapter as Liza writes, adding an extra layer of complexity.” Library Journal

“[An] engrossing psychological thriller…Holahan keeps the suspense high by leaving it unclear who’s telling the truth and who’s lying until the surprising denouement.” Publishers Weekly

“Left me thinking about the characters long after I turned the final page. Bravo!” Rena Olsen, author of The Girl Before
