I didn’t want it to end!” —Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Pines

“Bad Liar by the great Tami Hoag is thrilling, heartbreaking, dangerous, and blazingly smart.  Hoag is more than a riveting suspense writer. She observes deeply, sees it all, and doesn’t look away.  As in all her novels, she has created a darkly true and complicated main character.  Sheriff’s detective Annie Broussard has a brutal crime to solve, while grappling with her own trauma, doubts, memories, and the way her life has added up to this moment. My heart was pounding, the twists kept me up all night, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough–yet I did not want the novel to end. Brava, genius.” —Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author of Last Night

“My favorite kind of suspense!  Small town secrets, long-simmering resentments and explosive family betrayals collide in a perfect storm of steamy nights and murderous days.  Will grip you till the bitter end.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author
