About this listen

An ingenious novel of suspense about sisterhood, innocence, murderous games, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love.

In a tight-knit town in the 1980s, a child-killer is on the loose. And Topaz’s parents are on edge. At ten years old, Topaz is so vulnerable. But she has nothing to worry about. Her eldest sister, Ruby, has made sure of that. Swearing Topaz to secrecy, Ruby reveals she has trapped the monster in their root cellar.

Bound and bloodied in the cold space is kindly Brother Johnson from the church. Pleading with Topaz to cut him loose, he says her reckless sister is a liar. Brother Johnson is right about that: Ruby does lie. She also likes to scare people. Still, even Ruby wouldn’t lie about this. Would she? The game—and the secret—is in her hands. But Topaz just wants to do the right thing.

Let Brother Johnson die in the cold space? Or try to set him free—and then see what happens next?

Critic reviews

“Disturbing, tense, and deeply uncomfortable, Laura Lee Bahr’s Who Is the Liar is a vicious, harrowing examination of family, deception, and the inevitable loss of innocence. I inhaled this novel in one feverish sitting and was left breathless by the very end. Most importantly, Bahr’s powerfully incisive novel accomplished a nearly impossible task: This book genuinely shocked me.”—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

“Laura Lee Bahr’s Who Is the Liar is eerie, horrifying, and utterly original. She knows exactly how to bind a reader’s heart in twin ropes of worry and terror. This is a fantastically creepy tale that cuts close to the bone.”—Victoria Helen Stone, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Jane Doe

“Haunting and beautifully written. Should be a contender for the Shirley Jackson Award.”—Francesca Lia Block
