Review:
An assured thriller debut in the footsteps of le Carré, Highsmith and Rendell...The Good Liar makes you want to experience Nicholas Searle's next trick (Guardian)
This is set to be one of the books of the year that will get everyone talking....If you go in with absolutely no preconceptions, you will have your socks knocked, nay, blown off (Stylist)
As the tension mounts, the reader is kept guessing: is Roy going to be rumbled? Is Betty as guileless as she seems? The final denouement is a real cracker, and this reader at any rate was led through the nose to the very end. Added to the fiendishly clever plot, Searle's writing is both drily amusing and elegantly crafted. An absolute treat of a book. (Daily Mail)
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch (Financial Times)
The Good Liar is a taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time (Jonathan Freedland)
Twists and turns galore! (The Bookseller)
All the ingredients are in this book...You're in safe hands with Searle's elegant writing (The Times)
One of 2016's most intriguing debut novels (Independent)
I was engrossed by Nicholas Searle's story of Roy, a conman out for one last scam, and Betty, a wealthy widow, and the perfect mark. The plot unfolds to a payoff as inevitable as it is shocking. A superb thriller and a truly compelling read. (Ruth Ware, bestselling author of 'In a Dark, Dark Wood')
An incredibly dark, taut thriller...it deserves to be a bestseller. Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré (Daily Express)
