About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Good Liar by Nicholas Searle, read by Martin Jarvis.

This is a life told back to front. This is a man who has lied all his life.

Roy is a conman living in a small English town, about to pull off his final con. He is going to meet and woo a beautiful woman and slip away with her life savings.

But who is the man behind the con, and what has he had to do to survive this life of lies? And why is this beautiful woman so willing to be his next victim?

Narrator brings ‘Roy’ alive. Film is better than the book. Still worth listening to, but the ending felt a little flat compared to the movie

Narrator is superb, story doesn’t match the film

This is a terrific read. I actually read it years ago but enjoyed it more this second time.

Marvellous

a protracted story which could have been shorter and more consise...a lot of ramberling which was never explained or used again in the story line...I felt as if the writer was asked to pad it out. not so sure if I had been reading it I would have ever bothered to finish it !

not so good

Well written. Kept me listening in anticipation of what would happen next. I liked how it moved from the past to the present as the story unfolded.

Excellent tale with many twists
