'The final twist turns out to be a full-on gut punch' Sunday Times

Two sisters. One fortune to claim. But who is...the better liar?

Estranged for a decade, sisters Leslie and Robin must reunite if they are to claim the fortune their father left them. But when Leslie arrives at her sister's apartment in Las Vegas, she finds her body instead. And without Robin, she won't see a penny.

Mary spends her nights waitressing at a seedy restaurant. She'd do anything to start her life over again. When Leslie offers her a huge sum of money if she pretends to be Robin, she takes it.

But Robin's life isn't as straightforward as Mary thought it would be. And Leslie seems to have dark secrets of her own...

Reviews for The Better Liar

I couldn’t help becoming so drawn in . . . Tanen Jones has written a compulsively page-turning story. She cleverly drip-feeds nuggets of information, each more surprising than the last, until the final shocking revelation Jones’ sensational debut has the bones of a thriller but reads like literary fiction: lean, shrewd, and gratifyingly real. * Entertainment Weekly * Gripping, suspenseful […] The chracters are deep and complex and unpredictable – exactly the kind of characters a thriller should deliver […] the story makes a bold and thought provoking statement on women, sisterhood and motherhood. * Daily Mail * THE BETTER LIAR is a knockout, a stunner of a debut that left me in awe of this new writer’s talent. Smart, fresh, twisty, and compelling, with utterly believable characters, gorgeous prose, and a storyline that kept me guessing until the final pages. You know a book is good when you wish you'd written it! -- Karen Dionne, author of <i>Home</i> An incredibly unique thriller with beautiful relationships and cracking twists. * C.C. MacDonald, author of HAPPY EVER AFTER *
