To Tell You the Truth

About the book

The author behind the well-received books The Nanny and What She Knew - praised by big names like Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Tess Gerritsen, and Shari Lapena - is back with another intricate thriller that skillfully weaves together setting, unreliable memories, enigma, and dark secrets from the past, creating a gripping, suspenseful tale that will make you doubt all you thought you knew.

Truth be told, everyone tells lies.

Lucy Harper has gained fame, wealth, and a legion of fans through her talent for crafting bestsellers. She has also acquired Dan, her insecure, envious husband whose own writing career has gone nowhere.

Now Dan has disappeared. Yet this isn't the first time someone has vanished from Lucy's life. Thirty years ago, her younger brother Teddy also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the lone witness, fabricated scenario after scenario concerning Teddy's disappearance, much to the detectives' frustration and her parents' anguish. This marked the beginning of her gift for storytelling - a skill that has served her well.

But now Lucy is an adult who can no longer hide behind fiction. The eyes of the world are upon her, and her entire existence is under intense scrutiny, filled with tales, some more plausible than others. Could she have harmed Teddy? Did she do away with Dan? At last, Lucy Harper is prepared to reveal the truth.

She swears.

And waits for fate to take its course.
