So when she sees a child in tears in a playground one afternoon, she tells the girl's (very attractive) dad she's a nurse and helps him pull a bee sting from his daughter's foot. With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for Jay and Violet Lockhart who have everything: a beautiful brownstone house, a daughter in private nursery school, and long summers on an idyllic island just off the coast of New York. Sloane wants to be just like them. She wants their life and she's prepared to lie about almost everything to get it. But Sloane isn't the only one lying, and soon she begins to realise that all that's picture-perfect about her employers hides a much more dangerous truth . . . _________ More praise for Count My Lies: 'Utterly gripping and unputdownable' AMY TINTERA 'Readers will find themselves racing through the final, jaw-dropping pages, desperate to gather every last clue of this astonishing web of lies' KATY HAYS 'Get ready for a rollercoaster of twists' LIV CONSTANTINE 'With its punchy, chatty writing style nothing will stop this from becoming a runaway bestseller' Daily Mail 'Sophie Stava masterfully weaves suspense, deception, and heart into a brilliant, twisty thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page' TRISHA SAKHLECHA 'This twisty debut novel about a young woman named Sloane, a habitual liar who finds work as a nanny for a 'perfect' New York couple, has garnered comparisons to Gone Girl' Washington Post Readers are loving Count My Lies: 'So addictive' 5-star reader review 'Jaw dropping' 5-star reader review 'Thrilling' 5-star reader review 'I couldn't put it down' 5-star reader review 'Twisty, and absorbing novel' 5-star reader review 'Just when you think the big twist has happened, there's another, and another, and another!' 5-star reader review
