SOON TO BE A HULU TELEVISION SERIES STARRING LINDSAY LOHAN

“The very definition of a page-turner! This smart, original, twisty story had me gripped from the first to the last page.” —Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies

A listen-in-one-night suspense thriller narrated by a compulsive liar whose little white lies allow her to enter into the life and comfort of a wealthy married couple who are harboring much darker secrets themselves. For the millions of us still chasing those gone girls, this is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Lucy Foley, and Laura Dave.

Sloane Caraway is a liar.

Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting.

So, when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot.

With this lie, and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart—the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.

But maybe Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years.

The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth and a twisted prison of a world. And in Count My Lies, Sophie Stava spins an “utterly gripping and unputdownable” (Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about the secrets we keep, and the terrifying dangers that lurk just under the images we spend so much time trying to maintain.

Careful what you lie for.

Dear Listener,

What was the most fun thing about writing a story featuring an unreliable main character?
"I can’t tell a lie to save my life, so it was great fun putting myself in the shoes of someone like Sloane who is willing to say anything, no matter how outrageous or untrue. I also deeply empathize with Sloane’s reason for lying (to be liked, to build connection with others), so it was easy for me to slip into her mind while writing. It was freeing as well, as Sloane isn’t bound to her own reality. She can make up anything she wants, as long as it sounds interesting and relatable, so the world was my oyster while I was crafting her character. And even though Sloane is a liar, she doesn’t lie to the listener, so we’re in on her secrets. It felt deliciously satisfying to be her co-conspirator!"– Sophie Stava, writer of Count My Lies

Very original and satisfying. Sloan and Violet are a force to to reconned with. You don’t know who’s telling the truth and what’s going to happen next at any turn.
Well written and twisted. This is a great summer beach read that’ll make you question all the people in your life.

Great twists and turns!
