Julie Clark has done it again...taking you straight into the collision course of two dynamic, complicated women. --Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author The new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight! She's back. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be--a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything. Kat Roberts has been waiting ten years for the woman who upended her life to return. And now that she has, Kat is determined to be the one to expose her. But as the two women grow closer, Kat's long-held assumptions begin to crumble, leaving Kat to wonder who Meg's true target is. The Lies I Tell is a twisted domestic thriller that dives deep into the psyches and motivations of two women and their unwavering quest to seek justice for the past and rewrite the future.

I usually don't like revenge stories but here I am. This was fun and satisfying
You Think You Know Me. This is a con artist/ revenge tale where if you think you know either of our main characters... well, you need to read through the end of the tale. ;) I found it close enough to thriller territory to warrant that label, as I was constantly wanting to further uncover exactly what was going on. Despite some other reviews claiming the contrary, there actually are a few twists... though I fully admit they are more of the “no narrator is honest” type, as the text openly admits. Ultimately I had fun with this tale, and that is all I really ask of a book. Very much recommended.
Beautiful Karma!
This is the first book I read by Julie Clark and I was not disappointed. I have had The Last flight on my kindle for at least a year. After reading this I will for sure be moving it up on my reading list.. It's a little bit different than a typical thriller which is a nice change.
We have two main characters Kat, a journalist, and Meg, or Melodie, or Maggie... she has more than a few aliases. Each is a strong woman in her own right and they both have a goal and I would not even try to stop them. Sometimes Karma is needed and beautiful.
Kat believes that Meg is a con artist and wants to expose her. While Meg definitely is not what she appears to be on the surface, her reasons go far beyond anything Kat could have imagined. Meg has returned because she has someone that she actually wants to expose. At a glance, it appears that the two women have become friends but you know what they say about keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer. Julie Clark's writing style sucked me in immediately. As the story develops, the reader discovers why Kat is so obsessed with Meg's story and that there is much more to Meg's story than Kat initially believed. Interesting storyline flashing back to some of Meg's previous cons and trying to guess how she will get back at corrupt politician, Ron Ashton. Who I didn't like as a character but I thought he was a beautifully written Villain. I adored this to the point of obsession. I can not wait to see what comes next.
