Count my lies

Sloana Caraway is a liar. Her lies are usually harmless. She considers her life boring and sad, so she makes things up to make herself more interesting to others. When she sees a little girl crying in the park one afternoon, she can't resist. She tells the girl's very attractive father that she's a nurse, then helps him remove a bee sting from his daughter.

Thanks to this little lie, she becomes a nanny for the wealthy Lockhart family. The two of them are the perfect New York couple – they live in a lavish stone house, their daughter goes to a private nursery, and they spend their summers on Block Island, an island popular with New York's elite. But Sloana isn't the only one lying. Behind the perfect façade may be hiding something far more dangerous and darker than her fantasies…

Sophie Stava has written a gripping thriller about carefully hidden secrets and how dangerously the attempt to deceive others can go wrong.
