'Petronella McGovern consistently delivers smart, twisty page-turners guaranteed to keep her readers coming back for more.' LIANE MORIARTY


Family. It means everything to Sheridan. Her brother Lachy is finally home in Australia and she's excited about Easter with him and their nephew. But when a traumatic incident tears the families apart, she blames him.


Lachy knows he's not coping right now but his sister doesn't have the full story. And nor does he. There are some gaps in his memory. How is he connected to a DNA request, a missing woman, and a hit and run?


To untangle the truth, he must decide who he can trust. His friends? His family? Himself?


A gripping thriller about siblings and secrets, and the traces we can never erase.


'McGovern's books take us to people and places we know, the characters ringing so true. And the books are addictive, leaving you guessing to the very end and wanting more.' CANBERRA TIMES


'A textured psychological thriller that encompasses voices of truth, lies, deceit, deception and benevolence, The Liars is a first rate read that I mightily recommend.' MRS B'S BOOK REVIEWS on The Liars
