The Lies I Tell

How refreshing to read another great book by Julie Clark focusing on two women's interlocking stories. Meg/Melody is a con artist extraordinaire - she can change her persona at will, fits right into any milieu she finds herself in, always comes out on top. Kat's been chasing her for years, seeking revenge for a set-up Meg engineered that wound up causing her years of psychic pain. Now the two of them are finally face-to-face but instead of a cat fight, we get a much more intriguing interplay where Kat becomes Melody's assistant in fleecing would-be luxury home buyers and slowly, begrudgingly, comes to admire the con woman's ability to forge her way through life, getting back at those who have done her wrong. If you like strong women who seize life by the balls and don't suffer fools, this is the book for you.
