About this listen

Brought to by Penguin.

What will it take to tell the truth when your life depends on a lie?

A year ago, a father and his fiancée were brutally stabbed in their opulent London townhouse, sparking the most high-profile murder investigation in recent history. Blood spatter expert Doctor Claudia O’Sheil’s evidence put the killer behind bars – or so everyone believes. Since the trial, Claudia’s learned a horrific truth: her evidence and her testimony were wrong. And someone she knows made sure of it.

Now, as she takes the stage to give a career-defining speech before London’s elite, Claudia faces a devastating choice. Protect her children and her livelihood with her continued complicity or blow the whole conspiracy apart and reveal the truth: not only is the real murderer still out there, they’re in the audience.

As Claudia steps toward the microphone, she revisits that fateful night. What really happened? And what speech will Claudia give?

From The New York Times bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author, Denise Mina, comes a taut, intelligent thriller about power, class, and the lengths we're willing to go for family.

Critic Reviews

Authentic, compelling and written with wit so sharp it’ll cut your fingers. Once again, Denise Mina shows the rest of us how it’s done (Erin Kelly)
Filled with intelligence, intensity, and empathy, The Good Liar is a taut, propulsive mystery about family, truth, and morality. Denise Mina is such a talent (Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Note)
Denise Mina sets the gold standard in crime fiction that is whip-smart, funny and insightful. This has it all: a cat and mouse game with the highest stakes, diabolically clever forensics, and characters that crackle from the page. Blisteringly good. (Sara Hilary, author of the Marnie Rome series)
