The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark

A sharp, twist-filled psychological thriller about deception, revenge, and the blurred lines between justice and betrayal.
Meg Williams is a con artist, reinventing herself wherever she goes — a college student, a real estate agent, a life coach. Kat Roberts is a journalist who’s been waiting a decade to expose her. But when their paths collide, the truth becomes far more complicated than either woman imagined. In this gripping cat-and-mouse thriller, trust is the biggest lie of all.
 
Julie Clark’s The Lies I Tell is a masterfully layered story of two women whose lives are entangled by deceit. Meg Williams has perfected the art of the con, targeting those who deserve a taste of their own manipulation. Kat Roberts, an investigative journalist, has been waiting years to expose Meg’s true identity — but when she finally gets her chance, her understanding of right and wrong begins to unravel.
Clark blends psychological insight with heart-pounding suspense, crafting a thriller that’s both empowering and unsettling. Through alternating perspectives and morally gray choices, The Lies I Tell examines how women navigate survival, power, and revenge in a world built on deception.
