Description
"A taut, well-written thriller...The pace is crisp, the surprises keep coming, and there are two big ones that readers are unlikely to see coming." - Associated Press
A seemingly perfect marriage is threatened by the deadly secrets husband and wife keep from each other.
Susannah, a young widow and single mother, has remarried well: to Max, a charismatic artist and popular speaker whose career took her and her fifteen-year-old son out of New York City and to a quiet Vermont university town. Strong-willed and attractive, Susannah expects that her life is perfectly in place again. Then one quiet morning she finds a note on her door: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Max dismisses the note as a prank. But days after a neighborhood couple comes to dinner, the husband mysteriously dies in a tragic accident while on a run with Max. Soon thereafter, a second note appears on their door: DID YOU GET AWAY WITH IT?
Both Susannah and Max are keeping secrets from the world and from each other—secrets that could destroy their family and everything they have built. Thomas Christopher Greene's The Perfect Liar is a thrilling novel told through the alternating perspectives of Susannah and Max with a shocking climax that no one will expect, from the bestselling author of The Headmaster’s Wife.

THE PERFECT LIAR is amongst my very favs of the year! Absolutely brilliant! I highlighted masses of paragraphs for their poetic beauty and hilarious wit. I may read it again, simply to study the expert craftsmanship of this novel. Will write more, closer to pub date. Five massive shining stars! Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press,

"The Perfect Liar" by Thomas Christopher Greene took me on a crazy ride I did NOT expect! Susannah is a single mother until she meets Max W, an up and coming artist. Several years into their marriage, Max gets a fellowship position at a university in Vermont with a teaching position and a beautiful home. One day when Susannah returns from a run, she finds a note on the front door (the first of three) saying, "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE." This is where the roller coaster begins and we start to learn all the secrets from Susannah's and Max's lives.
The book takes us into the pasts of both Susannah and Max - their time before meeting as well as during their marriage. It makes you really think about the people in your life and do you REALLY know who they are. This book will surprise you, and you will be glad you picked it up. I don't want to say anything that could remotely give anything away because you will be shocked at the conclusion.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. This book is scheduled for publication in January 2019.

This book!! It is sooo good! I didn't expect most of the twists and turns to turn out the way they did. I loved the suspense and not knowing what would happen. Some mystery/suspenseful books are very predictable. Not this one! I loved the writing and would read many more books by Thomas Christopher Greene. You will never want to put it down, it's all very relatable, and is fun to see what will come next.
