Sweet Liar Read online



  My friend Judith McNaught taught me, by example, how to McNaughtize my book, then stayed up all night reading Sweet Liar and called me to tell me how much she liked it.

  Special thanks go to the Pocket Books production staff, unsung heroes who make my books look so good. I pestered them a lot with this one. And, Sophie, we all miss you.

  I would like to thank Lamont for climbing mountain after mountain with me while I plotted Sweet Liar. He was the best listener I ever had, never losing patience at hearing the same pieces of plot over and over as I worked them out. If he didn’t have four feet, I’d marry him.

  Most of all, I’d like to thank two very important people in my life: my secretary/friend, Gail; and my editor/friend, Linda. Thank you more than I can say.
