Three Perfect Liars by Heidi Perks

A special thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, and Simon and Schuster Canada for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When an office fire ends in murder, Laura, Mia, and Janie are first in line for questioning. Meet our Three Perfect Liars.

When Laura returns to work at Morris and Wood after her maternity leave, she learns that the woman she hired to replace her isn't going anywhere. Not only is Laura feeling outsmarted, but she is also struggling with being a working mother.

Mia was only supposed to be temporary but has managed to make herself indispensable to everyone, including the agency's CEO, Harry Wood. Even though Laura has always had a close relationship with Harry, she can't help but feel snubbed.

Janie, Harry's wife, gave up everything to support her husband and his business. But she has a secret to protect and will do anything to keep it hidden.

Perks latest work is a psychological thriller that contains its fair share of shocking twists and turns. She masterfully tells the story using multiple points of view, the police interviews conducted by DC Emily Marlow, and alternating timelines. This was an effective way to tell the story; there was an edge of intensity created as well shocking revelations that were a result of the police interviews.

Laura, Mia, and Janie all had distinct voices and personalities. They were fully developed characters with fleshed out backstories that provided context for their motives. These are clever women, each with their own brand of deception.

Three Perfect Liars is a riveting thriller about revenge and the complexities of secrets and lies.
