I absolutely could not put this book down. From the beginning of the story, I was captivated by Meg and her abilities as a professional con-artist. There were some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Julie Clark is a genius! I loved The Last Flight, and I loved this one as well. An auto-buy author from me moving forward!

I read this in 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I loved the cat and mouse game between the two main characters.  It was fascinating learning some of the ways con artists work.

WOW WOW WOW. First five-star read of February ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I truly couldn’t have asked for more from this book, and I cannot wait for everyone on bookstagram to get their hands on it.

Meg Williams has spent years waiting for this moment. Her chance to finally get back at the man who stole everything from her and her terminally ill mother. She’s done her research, conned some easier marks along the way, and waited patiently for her final mark. Everything is going according to plan. That is, until Kat Roberts enters the picture. Meg has been seeking justice from those who have wronged her, but little does she know that Kat is seeking justice too. And Meg is her target.

I’m a sucker for a good con-artist story, and it’s even better when the con goes deeper than just the desire for money. In The Lies I Tell, Julie Clark does a fantastic job weaving a story of intrigue, revenge, and even…friendship?

There was one twist I kind of saw coming, but I’m not even mad about it because the in my opinion, the point of a good con isn’t always the destination, it’s the journey. And wow, what a fun journey that keeps the pages turning!

Thank you thank you thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read the e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
