The Lies I Tell

by Julie Clark

First published 2022

Meg Williams transforms herself completely for each new mark. She becomes Maggie Littleton in one town, Melody Wilde in another. College student, life coach, real estate agent. Whatever identity serves her purpose. She studies her targets, tells them exactly what they want to hear, then vanishes with their money and trust. Kat Roberts has spent ten years hunting the woman who destroyed her world. When Meg finally surfaces again, Kat sees her chance for payback. She plans to expose every lie, every stolen identity, every ruined life left in Meg's wake. But as Kat gets closer to her target, nothing unfolds as expected. The woman she thought she knew becomes harder to pin down. Kat's certainties about the past start falling apart. She begins to question who Meg really targets and why. The hunt for justice becomes something more complicated, forcing both women to confront what they actually want from each other.
