출판사 설명
From the author of the “breathtaking, bone-chilling work of psychological suspense” (Cristina Alger, USA TODAY bestselling author) Her One Mistake, comes a twist-filled thriller following three ambitious women whose professional rivalries and personal secrets collide after a devastating fire threatens to expose the truth.
Returning to work after maternity leave, Laura expects to reclaim her role at the powerful advertising agency Morris and Wood. Instead, she finds herself sidelined by Mia, the woman hired to cover for her—and who now seems determined to stay. Despite Laura’s long-standing connection to the agency’s influential CEO, she struggles to regain control while juggling the pressures of career and motherhood.
Mia insists she’s only doing her job, but her desperation to remain at the firm runs deeper than anyone realizes. If her carefully guarded secret were revealed, everything she’s built could collapse overnight. Meanwhile, Janie, the wife of the agency’s founder, has sacrificed her own ambitions to support her husband’s success—and harbors a dark secret she will protect at any cost.
When a shocking fire rocks the agency, the fragile balance between the women shatters. As investigators circle and long-buried lies surface, each woman must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her future.
With her signature “chilling, captivating” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) prose, Heidi Perks weaves another bone-chilling and unputdownable thriller in the vein of Watching You and The Couple Next Door. Taut, chilling, and relentlessly suspenseful, this novel explores ambition, betrayal, and the dangerous power dynamics lurking behind polished office doors.

Three Perfect Liars
The book started out very intriguing and immediately caught my attention. As the pages dragged on, there was a lot of repetition that soon became boring. It took a while for the author to get past the repeats and finally into the meat of the story. I found myself skimming pages to finish the book. The author’s writing style is interesting as she jumps between the past and present. The ending was anticlimactic.
Slow to develop
Enjoyable read but very slow to go anywhere. I related to the characters, and it was well written, I just felt like we never got anywhere. Won’t be one I’ll remember.
