Tell Them You Lied

""Deliciously toxic. Hooked my attention with vicious claws and did not let go until the very last page!”   —Jesse Q. Sutanto, New York Times bestselling author Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers and New Girl “Heart pounding, eyes bleary, I turned the final page of this novel in just three days, feeling as if I’d slashed open the underbelly of the art world and the two women jockeying for its attention. Beware, fans of Megan Abbott and Gillian Flynn, Laura Leffler has one hell of a tale in store for you!” —Alka Joshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Henna Artist “I devoured this gripping tale of ambition and betrayal set against the vibrant art scene of early-2000s New York. It spiked my heart rate and kept me guessing until the final page. For fans of Sirens and Muses with hints of Donna Tartt, Layne Fargo, and Mona Awad.”  —Caitlin Barasch, author of A Novel Obsession “Taut and electric, TELL THEM YOU LIED is a deftly-paced, searing condemnation of art’s—and society’s—careless consumption of women, and the toxicity it breeds. Choose when you begin this book wisely, because you will not be able to stop—I certainly wasn’t.” —Parini Shroff, bestselling author of The Bandit Queens “Tell Them You Lied is one of those rare novels that grabs you by the throat on the first page and doesn't let go until the last. Every twisted twist of Leffler's exceptional psychological thriller is utterly compelling.” —Kyra Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Great Mann
