Sophie Stava

Sloane Caraway on patologinen valehtelija. Kun Sloane näkee itkevän pikkutytön leikkipuistossa, hän väittää tytön erittäin viehättävälle isälle Jaylle olevansa sairaanhoitaja ja nappaa mehiläisen piikin irti lapsen jalasta. Valheen myötä Sloane päätyy varakkaan brooklyniläispariskunnan lastenhoitajaksi. Mutta Sloane ei ole ainoa, joka osaa valehdella sujuvasti. Jayn ja Violetin täydelliseltä vaikuttava avioliitto kätkee kulisseihinsa synkkiä salaisuuksia. Sophie Stavan pirullisen koukuttava esikoistrilleri on todellinen herkkupala Freida McFaddenin, Lisa Jewellin ja Ruth Waren lukijoille.

I'm your friend. But can you trust me? A voice-driven, read-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave. * A Good Morning America March book club pick * * Soon to be a HULU television series starring Lindsay Lohan * 'Utterly intriguing, the pages turned themselves' LIZ NUGENT ‘This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page. I just had to keep reading!’ LIANE MORIARTY ‘The author nails it from the first sentence … With its punchy, chatty writing style nothing will stop this from becoming a runaway bestseller’ Daily Mail _________ Sloane Caraway is a liar. They are harmless lies, she tells herself, to make her own life a bit more interesting. So when she sees a child in tears in a playground one afternoon, she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee sting from his daughter’s foot. With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for Jay and Violet Lockhart who have everything: a beautiful brownstone house, a daughter in private nursery school, and long summers on an idyllic island just off the coast of New York. Sloane wants to be just like them. She wants their life and she’s prepared to lie about almost everything to get it. But Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and soon she begins to realise that all that’s picture-perfect about her employers hides a much more dangerous truth . . . _________ More praise for Count My Lies: ‘Utterly gripping and unputdownable' AMY TINTERA ‘Readers will find themselves racing through the final, jaw-dropping pages, desperate to gather every last clue of this astonishing web of lies’ KATY HAYS ‘Get ready for a rollercoaster of twists’ LIV CONSTANTINE 'Sophie Stava masterfully weaves suspense, deception, and heart into a brilliant, twisty thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page' TRISHA SAKHLECHA Readers are loving Count My Lies: 'So addictive' 5-star reader review 'Jaw dropping' 5-star reader review 'Thrilling' 5-star reader review 'I couldn't put it down' 5-star reader review 'Twisty, and absorbing novel' 5-star reader review 'Just when you think the big twist has happened, there’s another, and another, and another!' 5-star reader review

A read-in-one-night suspense thriller about a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. This is perfect for the millions of us still chasing those gone girls. Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can't help herself--she tells the girl's very attractive dad that she is a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl's foot. With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged life of Jay and Violet Lockhart. The perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island. But maybe Sloane isn't the only one lying, and all that is picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years. The thing about lies is that they add up and form their own truth and twisted prison of a world. And in Count My Lies, Sophie Stava spins a breakneck, unputdownable thriller about the secrets we keep and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the picture-perfect images we spend so much time trying to maintain. Be careful what you lie for.
