The Good Liar
An instant national bestseller from author Catherine McKenzie about what lurks in the wake of tragedy.
One explosion. Three women. Countless secrets.
When Cecily sets off to meet her husband, Tom, in downtown Chicago, she’s unaware of the drastic turn her life is about to take. Before the morning is over, Tom is killed when a building explodes. In the months that follow, a photo of Cecily watching the horrifying scene brings her unwanted attention as the poster child of the tragic event—and she is desperately trying to hide something.
Franny lost her birth mother—Cecily’s best friend—in the destruction shortly after the two met. A year later, she and Cecily team up to help families obtain financial compensation for their losses, but their budding friendship is derailed when it starts to become clear that Franny’s story doesn’t quite add up. How did Franny track down her mother? And why did her mother keep their reunion a secret?

With surprising twists and turns, The Good Liar is a suspenseful read that will make you wonder how far you’d go to hide your own secrets.
