The Better Liar

The Better Liar by Tanen Jones  306 pages

If Leslie had arrived at her sister's Las Vegas apartment a few hours earlier, she would have found Robin to be alive. It would have been their first reunion in ten years, forced after Leslie learned her inheritance depended on re-connecting with Robin. But now, Robin's dead. And Leslie really needs that money.  However, her salvation may come in the form of Mary, a charismatic young woman who has a startling resemblance to Robin. The two make a bargain: Mary pretends to be Robin, in exchange for half the cash from the inheritance.  Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Mary is obviously hiding something and as Leslie starts to learn more about her, she becomes more disturbed.

And, of course, you find yourself wondering if Robin is actually dead. Does Mary have a connection to Robin? Why does Leslie need the money so badly? If you like books that make you start questioning things, and wondering what kind of twist will come next, this is the book for you. Psychological suspense + sister and family relationships + a touch of thriller/danger.
