Reviews

I couldnt 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 writers 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 Home
An incredibly unique thriller with beautiful relationships and cracking twists. * C.C. MacDonald, author of HAPPY EVER AFTER *
