Is it when we graduate high school or college, get our first job or apartment, solidify our first serious relationship? Rocky times abound at the start of my coming-of-age thriller All the Best Liars, out April 5 from Flatiron Books. As I was writing All the Best Liars, I immersed myself in thrillers and mysteries of all sorts, from cozy mysteries and satirical reexaminations of killer tropes to the most gut-wrenching explorations of trauma through the lens of crime. The action kicks off in a near-future summer swelter when a sinkhole opens near Maple Street, a seemingly perfect block in an upper-middle-class Long Island suburb. When a glamorous woman named Rebecca Saint John joins the prison staff, Eileen’s narrow view of her life’s possibilities begins to widen.
