Brought to you by Penguin.

This is a life told back to front.

This is a man who has lied all his life.

Roy is a conman living in a small English town, about to pull off his final con. He is going to meet and woo a beautiful woman and slip away with her life savings.

But who is the man behind the con and what has he had to do to survive this life of lies?

And why is this beautiful woman so willing to be his next victim?

Critic reviews

An assured thriller debut in the footsteps of le Carré, Highsmith and Rendell...The Good Liar makes you want to experience Nicholas Searle's next trick
This is set to be one of the books of the year that will get everyone talking....If you go in with absolutely no preconceptions, you will have your socks knocked, nay, blown off
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch
The Good Liar is a taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time (Jonathan Freedland)
All the ingredients are in this book...You're in safe hands with Searle's elegant writing
An incredibly dark, taut thriller...it deserves to be a bestseller. Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré
Searle shows a gift for complex plotting. The Good Liar is packed with secrets and surprises, bluffs and double-bluffs
A perfectly entertaining way to spend a few hours
A confident debut...an easy page-turner
A cracking read
All stars

The narrator was a true pleasure to listen to. Briljant, as well as the story itself.

Extraordinary performance!
