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:

It’s another Freaky Friday! Happy weekend to you It’s another Freaky Friday! Happy weekend to you all! Let’s start with something truly creepy: hookworms. WHAT??? Listen, I don’t know how many of you grew up with Boomer parents, but… Was anyone else told as a kid that you’d get “worms” from running around barefoot outside? I assumed for a very long time that this was just an old wives’ tale, but nope! Hookworms, which enter your body via bare skin, devastated millions of folks in the United states for generations. AMERICAN KILLER: THE PARASITE THAT HAUNTED THE SOUTH by @gailjarrow is the harrowing tale of the scientific discovery and fight against a worm that sucks the life out of both children and adults, ruining families and livelihoods. This was a compelling and fascinating read, especially if you’re a medical nerd like me. (I’m now off to listen to the hookworm episode of @thispodcastwillkillyou )

As for what I’m watching… I’m midway through the TV series TEACUP, and wow, look at that creeeeepy image. It’s so good. This horror series is based on the book STINGER by @author.robertmccammon, and it is incredibly tense and eerie and gory right off the bat. Horror is always extra special when there’s a spooky kid involved. And a spooky old lady! What more can you ask for? It begins with a group of neighbors trapped on a farm in rural Georgia by animals and people behaving in a bizarre manner. And it just gets worse from there. Have you watched it?

I’d ask if you have any freaky weekend plans, but that’s not quite what I mean, so… What’s the freakiest thing you’ve read or watched lately?
My website is borked & I can’t update it with my My website is borked & I can’t update it with my new book info, so instead of posting about researching I’M HERE TO HELP, here’s a pic of my walk with the granddog tonight! 🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡 Tomorrow I start the search for a new Wordpress theme to replace the theme that’s no longer supported.
