SEPTEMBER 2017 SELECTION FOR BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF 2017

From the author of the USA Today bestselling novel, The Widower's Wife, comes an electrifying story of love and deceit.

The truth can be darker than fiction.

Liza Cole, a once-successful novelist whose career has seen better days, has one month to write the thriller that could land her back on the bestseller list. Meanwhile, she's struggling to start a family, but her husband is distracted by the disappearance of his best friend, Nick. As stresses weigh her down in her professional and personal lives, Liza escapes into writing the chilling exploits of her latest heroine, Beth.

Beth, a new mother, suspects her husband is cheating on her while she's home caring for their newborn. Angry and betrayed, she aims to catch him in the act and make him pay for shattering the illusion of their perfect life. But before she realizes what she's doing, she's tossing the body of her husband's mistress into the East River.

Then, the lines between Liza's fiction and her reality eerily blur. Nick's body is dragged from the East River, and Liza's husband is arrested for his murder. Before her deadline is up, Liza will have to face up to the truths about the people around her, including her own. If she doesn't, the end of her heroine's story could be the end of her own.

Reviews for Lies She Told: A Novel

Praise for Lies She Told -This was a thriller I couldn't put down. Cate Holahan expertly constructs two parallel stories connected in unexpected ways with a twist that left me thinking about the characters long after I turned the final page. Bravo!---Rena Olsen, author of The Girl Before Praise for The Widower's Wife Nominated as one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2016-[Done] with a master's hand. One of those rare thrillers that really will keep you reading all night.---Kirkus starred review -Holahan once again creates a compelling heroine who can tap into bottomless reserves of strength when push comes to shove. A fast read for domestic-suspense fans.---Booklist -In this chilling cat-and-mouse tale... Holahan keeps the action going.---Publishers Weekly -Ryan Monahan is so intriguing that readers will be anxious to read about his further adventures.---RT Book Reviews -Cate Holahan did a great job of weaving together a tale of how far desperate people will go... I can't wait to read her next book.---San Francisco Book Review -The Widower's Wife is a terrific mystery... Holahan has somehow created an insurance company employee who is a sympathetic character -- almost unheard of in today's mystery genre -- and hopefully we will see more of him in the future.---Bookreporter
