Bald-Faced Liar

Read the new thriller from
Victoria Helen Stone!

Living a lie becomes a matter of life and death for a woman hiding from her past in a novel of mounting psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Jane Doe and Follow Her Down.

Traveling nurse Elizabeth May has a promising new home in Santa Cruz. And another new identity. It’s a pattern of reinvention for a woman escaping a traumatic childhood—and hiding from the decades of notoriety and destruction that followed. Invisibility has kept Elizabeth safe. Until now. After all these years, someone sees her for who she is.

Threat by threat, a vengeful stalker is dismantling Elizabeth’s carefully constructed lifetime of lies. And no one in her temporary circle can be trusted. Not her fleeting new love interest. Not the supportive friend she knows only from online forums. And certainly not the police. They’ve never been there for her.

As dread sharpens to fear, Elizabeth soon discovers something about her past that even she didn’t know. The revelation could finally set her on a path of healing and redemption. Or, now alone in the dark, it could be Elizabeth’s worst nightmare.

Buzz About BALD-FACED LIAR

Bald-Faced Liar is hysterically, mindblowingly great. There’s so much of this book that I loved, and by so much I mean everything. Characters, plot, theme, voice, world-building. Sinking down into Elizabeth’s world was so delightful. What a fun, exhilarating ride.

Suzanne Brockmann, New York Times Bestselling Author

I sat down to read just the first chapter and didn’t get up until I’d finished the book. Only Victoria Helen Stone could deliver a heroine so complex, so damaged, and so damned funny. Bald-Faced Liar is a whip-smart ride you won’t be able to put down.

Deanna Raybourn, New York Times Bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age

A big 5 creeptastic stars! I had NO idea what was the truth… this seriously kept me guessing to the very end! The stalker vibes were off the chain!! This quickly got dark and terrifying.

I write dark & twisty stories. WSJ & Amazon Charts bestseller. My latest suspense, BALD-FACED LIAR, is out now!!! Order at the link below:

Thank you to @audreyoaksreadseverything for this l Thank you to @audreyoaksreadseverything for this lovely pic & review! (and sorry about the delay in reposting 😁) Posted @withregram • @audreyoaksreadseverything 🚩🚩🚩

🚩Happy Labor Day! Labor Day serves as an annual commemoration of the achievements of American workers and the labor unions that fought for better conditions. As a teacher I faithfully paid my very expensive union dues every year to support our vocation and those fighting for us. Labor Day is also the unofficial end of summer but we aren’t packing up the lake yet. I’m hoping for more nice weather and that’s not a lie! 

🚩Why do people lie? There’s most often a reason but it’s always a red flag. In Bald Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Sloan our narrator Elizabeth May was a traveling nurse but she has settled in Santa Cruz doing an online job. Her family doesn’t know where she is. She gives everyone different versions of her name to throw them off. She’s content to live her life only by observing others. Just when she thinks she has it all handled smoothly with lies someone begins stalking her and tearing her carefully protected world apart. Is her past really in the past?

🚩When I started reading this one I couldn’t put it down. Liz, Beth, Eliza and the other names she calls herself was an immediate puzzle to me. Was she an introvert? Was she a good person? Or was she an extrovert? Was she NORMAL!? Is she RELIABLE???What is she hiding? I had to find out. I’m not always a fast reader but I read the first half of this book in a couple hours. The book ties together nicely in the end even with all the twistiness. I think you’ll love it. Thank you @suzyapprovedbooktours @lakeunionauthors @victoriahelenstone for the opportunity!
