WARNING: This review may contain spoilers. 

The Perfect Liar is a mystery and thriller fiction of Thomas Christopher Greene about a married couple who seems to have a perfect life. It is the first (ever) book of Greene that I’ve read and I’m not regretting it! It is also one of those books that will make you read all night. The writing style is good enough to not want to put it down and the plot is full of twists. On the other hand, the book cover is appropriate for the plot. Thumbs up to that!

I’m glad that I requested for a copy because I was hooked right away. The first anonymous note was already mysterious and creepy. It was exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time because right after a mystery was solved, another mystery will pop up just like bombs waiting for the perfect time to explode! I like how the author exemplified the past beneath the characters’ seemingly perfect life by providing a separate point of views. I was literally on the edge while reading it because of many unexpected twists and turns. At some point, I honestly doubted my own judgment of who is the real perfect liar.

Moreover, I could have given this book a rating of 5 stars if not for my correct prediction of the person behind the anonymous notes. I doubted my prediction several times but through the end, I’m happy that I didn’t change my mind.

I am slightly dissatisfied with how it ended. Nevertheless, The Perfect Liar is an excellent book to read if you are looking for mystery and thriller fiction.

A seemingly perfect marriage is threatened by the deadly secrets husband and wife keep from each other, for fans of B.A. Paris and Paula Hawkins.

Susannah, a young widow and single mother, has remarried well: to Max, a charismatic artist and popular speaker whose career took her and her fifteen-year-old son out of New York City and to a quiet Vermont university town. Strong-willed and attractive, Susannah expects that her life is perfectly in place again. Then one quiet morning she finds a note on her door: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Max dismisses the note as a prank. But days after a neighborhood couple comes to dinner, the husband mysteriously dies in a tragic accident while on a run with Max. Soon thereafter, a second note appears on their door: DID YOU GET AWAY WITH IT?

Both Susannah and Max are keeping secrets from the world and from each other —secrets that could destroy their family and everything they have built. The Perfect Liar is a thrilling novel told through the alternating perspectives of Susannah and Max with a shocking climax that no one will expect, from the bestselling author of The Headmaster’s Wife.
