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.

I write dark & twisty stories. WSJ & Amazon Charts bestseller. My latest suspense, BALD-FACED LIAR, is out now!!! Order at the link below:

A joyful thriller? Yes!!! And a joyful author beca A joyful thriller? Yes!!! And a joyful author because Kristan Higgins liked my book. KRISTAN HIGGINS LIKED MY BOOK!!! This is not a drill! 

From @reshare_app • @kristan.higgins Elizabeth—or Beth, or Lizzy, or Betsy, or Ellie—lives an incredibly pleasant, shallow life, moving from one place to another as a travel nurse, avoiding meaningful connections and very happy that way. But since she settled in Santa Cruz, the idyllic town and her smattering of friends (none of whom intersect), make her feel a little complacent. Years and years ago, Beth did something very wrong, and she’s been paying for it ever since. Hence her nomadic lifestyle and unwillingness to trust anyone but herself. Things take a turn, however, when someone from that long-ago past starts stalking her. This makes Bald-Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Stone sound dark and scary, but the wonderful thing is, it’s not. The narrator’s voice is nothing short of joyful, exuberant at times. Beth loves her life, and the threat of danger makes her realize that the seemingly shallow roots she’s put down are deeper and stronger than she guessed.⁠
