I'm in your house. I'm your friend. You can trust me. A voice-driven, read-in-one-night suspense thriller coming to you in 2025. Sloane Caraway is a liar. They are harmless lies, she tells herself, to make her own life a bit more interesting. So when she sees a child in tears in a playground one afternoon, she tells the girl's (very attractive) dad she's a nurse and helps him pull a bee sting from his daughter's foot. With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for Jay and Violet Lockhart who have everything- a beautiful brownstone house, a daughter in private nursery school, and long summers on an idyllic island just off the coast of New York. Sloane wants to be just like them. She wants their life and she's prepared to lie about almost everything to get it. But Sloane isn't the only one lying, and soon she begins to realise that all that's picture-perfect about her employers hides a much more dangerous truth . . . _________ 'This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page. I just had to keep reading!' Liane Moriarty 'From the first page until the final twist, Count My Lies is utterly gripping and unputdownable' Amy Tintera 'Readers will find themselves racing through the final, jaw-dropping pages, desperate to gather every last clue of this astonishing web of lies' Katy Hays 'Get ready for a rollercoaster of twists' Liv Constantine 'Sharp, engaging, and unputdownable. Sophie Stava masterfully weaves suspense, deception, and heart into a brilliant, twisty thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page. I devoured this in one day!' Trisha Sahklecha
