But who is the man behind the con and what has he had to do to survive this life of lies? And why is this beautiful woman so willing to be his next victim? Veteran con artist Roy spots an obvious easy mark when he meets Betty, a wealthy widow, online. In no time at all, he’s moved into Betty’s lovely cottage and is preparing to accompany her on a romantic trip to Europe. Betty’s grandson disapproves of their blossoming relationship, but Roy is sure this scheme will be a success. He knows what he’s doing. He is going to woo a beautiful woman and slip away with her life savings. But not everything is as it seems. Drawing to comparisons to Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell, Nicholas Searle's debut novel, The Good Liar, is full of twists that will surprise even the most assiduous mystery reader.
