Bald-Faced Liar

Read the new thriller from
Victoria Helen Stone!

Living a lie becomes a matter of life and death for a woman hiding from her past in a novel of mounting psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Jane Doe and Follow Her Down.

Traveling nurse Elizabeth May has a promising new home in Santa Cruz. And another new identity. It’s a pattern of reinvention for a woman escaping a traumatic childhood—and hiding from the decades of notoriety and destruction that followed. Invisibility has kept Elizabeth safe. Until now. After all these years, someone sees her for who she is.

Threat by threat, a vengeful stalker is dismantling Elizabeth’s carefully constructed lifetime of lies. And no one in her temporary circle can be trusted. Not her fleeting new love interest. Not the supportive friend she knows only from online forums. And certainly not the police. They’ve never been there for her.

As dread sharpens to fear, Elizabeth soon discovers something about her past that even she didn’t know. The revelation could finally set her on a path of healing and redemption. Or, now alone in the dark, it could be Elizabeth’s worst nightmare.

Buzz About BALD-FACED LIAR

Bald-Faced Liar is hysterically, mindblowingly great. There’s so much of this book that I loved, and by so much I mean everything. Characters, plot, theme, voice, world-building. Sinking down into Elizabeth’s world was so delightful. What a fun, exhilarating ride.

Suzanne Brockmann, New York Times Bestselling Author

I sat down to read just the first chapter and didn’t get up until I’d finished the book. Only Victoria Helen Stone could deliver a heroine so complex, so damaged, and so damned funny. Bald-Faced Liar is a whip-smart ride you won’t be able to put down.

Deanna Raybourn, New York Times Bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age

Bald-Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Stone sounds dark and scary, but the wonderful thing is, it’s not. The narrator’s voice is nothing short of joyful, exuberant at times.

About Victoria Helen Stone

Victoria Helen Stone, author of the runaway best seller Jane Doe, writes critically acclaimed novels of dark intrigue and emotional suspense. Aside from Follow Her Down, At The Quiet Edge, The Last One Home, Problem Child, Half Past, and the chart-topping False Step and Evelyn, After, she also published twenty-nine books as USA Today bestselling author Victoria Dahl and won the prestigious American Library Association Reading List award for best genre fiction. Her novels have been published in English, Russian, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Lithuanian, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Indonesian, Czech, Hebrew, Estonian, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch, and Thai.

Victoria writes in her home office high in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, far from her origins in the flattest plains of Minnesota, Texas, and Oklahoma. She enjoys gorgeous summer trail hikes in the mountains almost as much as she enjoys staying inside by the fire during winter. Victoria is passionate about dessert, true crime, and her terror of mosquitoes, which have targeted her in a diabolical conspiracy to hunt her down no matter the season.

➡️ SCROLL FOR THE BLURBS ➡️

This year was packed full of truly amazing books. So much so, in fact, that I couldn’t limit my runner-up list to 10…or 15…or even 20. No, I could only narrow down my 274 reads to the top 50. So, with no further ado, here’s my list of 25 (and a half) books that just barely missed being my top reads of the year. Just be sure to SAVE THIS POST so that you can return and order from my Amazon Storefront later (link in bio). I promise that you don’t want to miss out on any these stunners…
