Category: Fiction , Thrillers , General

If Ridley Jones had slept ten minutes later or had taken the subway instead of waiting   for a cab, she would still be living the beautiful lie she used to call her life.   She would still be the privileged daughter of a doting father and a loving mother.   Her life would still be perfect—with only the tiny cracks of an angry junkie for   a brother and a charming drunk with shady underworld connections for an uncle to   mar the otherwise flawless whole.  But that’s not what happened. Instead, those   inconsequential decisions lead her to perform a good deed that puts her in the right   place at the right time to unleash a chain of events that brings a mysterious package   to her door—a package which informs her that her entire world is a lie. Suddenly   forced to question everything she knows about herself and her family, Ridley wanders   into dark territory she never knew existed, where everyone in her life seems like   a stranger. She has no idea who’s on her side and who has something to hide—even,   and maybe especially, her new lover, Jake, who appears to have secrets of his own. Sexy and fast-paced, Beautiful Lies is a true literary thriller with one of the   freshest voices and heroines to arrive in years. Lisa Unger takes us on a breathtaking   ride in which every choice Ridley makes creates a whirlwind of consequences that   are impossible to imagine . . . .
