The novel is a perfect portrait of two people married to each other and facing a major crisis in their lives. First there is Susannah a young and still very beautiful woman. She had been married, quite happily to a man that was older than her. He became the father of a boy with her but unfortunately passed away shortly after the child's birth.
Susannah has the luck to attract an interesting and intelligent young man at a party that her boss throws for members of the New York art community. Max heard about the affair and decides to try and crash it.in order to get contacts to further a career he is working on in the art world.

Susannah is helping her boss handle the details of the party, sees Max and makes a play for him. which turns out to be successful. Than with the help from her boss Max advances his career and manages to get a good teaching position with a Vermont based university. The couple and the boy are happy to leave New York and move to the area with the added luck of finding a beautiful home near the school.

A perfect life becomes opened to them when it is suddenly spoiled by the appearance of a strange note pinned to the front door. The note is not addressed nor signed but says,"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE" Both Max and Susannah are devastated by the note since each has secrets that they want to keep to themselves and not share with anyone else. The novel brings the reader into the minds of both and develops a scenario that keeps the reader glued to the book awaiting the answers. These are not evident, although logical based upon the clues developed during the read.

Great book. I usually like books that examine marriages, especially mysteries, and this book did not disappoint. This was a great premise with good character development. It turned out to be quite a thriller and kept me interesting until the end.

Imagine coming home to a note on your front door that reads I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. For Susannah and Max, the note is chilling as both have secrets in their pasts that could threaten their futures. But of course, neither of them knows the other's secret so things get dicey pretty quickly. When Max's "friend" accidentally drowns after a river run, Susannah suspects Max is protecting himself and becomes frightened that he may eventually harm her. But she has her own deceptions and is shocked when the notetaker is revealed. Great twists and turns up until the very end. May have you gasping a little as well!

A psychological thriller that keeps you interested and intrigued.

Susannah is clever and an artist but she lives in a continual state of nerves and has never achieved or accomplished anything for herself.

Susannah is rejected by her family for not conforming to their idea of the “right” marriage. Getting pregnant to her psychiatrist and later widowed, she makes a life in the Art World. Susannah then meets Max, her dream husband, and she and Freddy, her son, start their new life.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were well developed. It had an interesting plot. I would be interested in reading more.

What a heart stopping thriller!!!! The Perfect Liar is a super fast paced novel that will have your head spinning! When I first started The Perfect Liar, I had a conspiracy theory that I was sure was correct, which ended up being the first of 3 theories and let me be honest— they were all wrong! The deeper of got into this book I think I said “oh my god” out loud at least a dozen times. Having enjoyed Thomas Christopher Greene’s novels in the past, I was excited to dive into The Perfect Liar and I’m so happy it lived up to my expectations (and then some)!

Thank you to Net Galley and St. Martin's Press for an e-arc of this title in exchange for my honest review. This was a roller coaster ride of a book. There were some portions I didn't care for, such as when Susannah kept thinking/talking about her previous husband. He just seemed creepy, which I guess is the point. The characters were well done, and although I could see some things coming, I had a sense of realizing I couldn't stop it, which is the mark of a good psychological thriller to me. I really enjoyed this book a great deal. I highly recommend it.
