"Patry Francis's debut novel compels the reader to surrender to the horrible tension between a mother's loyalty and suspicion in the face of a terrible crime. The Liar’s Diary twists and turns, but never lets go."

Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean

"Patry Francis is a sly and seductive writer, and in THE LIAR'S DIARY she inexorably sucks you in for a twisting ride full of dangerous curves and jaw-dropping surprises. This is one of my favorite reads of the year!"

Tess Gerritsen, bestselling author of
Vanish and The Mephisto Club
