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 been freakishly hot this summer, and I think It's been freakishly hot this summer, and I think the heat is affecting me, because I'm leaning into my weirdness. So let's have a Freaky Friday! I finally watched the movie Bugonia, despite the mixed reviews, and wow, I LOVED IT. It's about a disturbed man who kidnaps a rich CEO to prove that she's an alien controlling earth. I saw one of the twists coming, but uhhhh... there were *several* that I did not anticipate. This was fantastic suspense/horror/cultural commentary. (The ending gets a bit funny, but it fits with the movie's tone.) Did you watch it??? What did you think? I highly recommend it as a great weekend movie. 

I can't remember why I picked up THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION by qntm, but I was very intimidated when I started this book. I wasn't quite sure if it was hard sci-fi with lots of physics, etc. and I worried I'd be overwhelmed. But the story was truly compelling, and I'm so happy I kept reading. It was far more *storytelling* than hard science, and the vibe was creepy and moving and confusing and scary and fantastic. I honestly don't know how to describe this book. It's "memetics" as in "memories," and the earth has become inhabited by beings (or ideas?) that steal and alter memories of everyone, including the people assigned to fighting these anti-memetics. Is it your first day working there and fighting these battles? Or did you just lose core memories of the last ten years? How can you even find out when no one else remembers who you are??? SO CREEPY. Absolutely fantastic and I had NO idea where this book was going or even when it would end. PICK THIS ONE UP! 

What's your freaky story for this Friday? #amreading #bookstagram #movienight #Bugonia #qntm #freakyfriday
I don’t think we realize the sadness & cynicism I don’t think we realize the sadness & cynicism we’ll be steeped in if the tech bros triumph. We already experience it with online videos. If it might be AI, then who cares?
