About this listen
A USA TODAY Bestseller
Bestselling and award-winning author David Ellis delivers a fast-paced, twisty thriller that will surprise listeners at every turn.
Leo Balanoff is a crusading attorney with unthinkable skeletons in his closet. He's also a diagnosed pathological liar. When a predatory gangster with a long list of victims is found dead and Leo’s fingerprints show up on the murder weapon, no one believes a word he says in his defense. But he might be the FBI’s only shot at taking down the gangster's even more lethal boss.
Risk his life going undercover for the feds or head straight to prison for murder? Leo accepts the FBI’s offer—but it comes with a price, including a collision course with his ex, Andi Piotrowski, a former cop and "the one who got away." Anyone else forced to walk this tightrope between an ambitious FBI agent and a cruel, calculating crime boss would fail. But this isn't Leo's first balancing act, and he still has a few tricks up his sleeve...

Critic reviews
“The Best Lies is the best book I’ve read in a long time; a complicated, high-stakes thriller in which all the characters have something to win and everything to lose. With an absolutely unpredictable plot and an ending that was as surprising as it was satisfying, I raced through this book in a single sitting. Just read it!” — Karen Dionne, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter
“The Best Lies is an addictive, whip-smart thriller. David Ellis is a master at writing keep-you-up-all-night books, and this is no exception.” — Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of A Twisted Love Story
“It’s the very rare book that elicits such violent yet positive physical reactions from me. The Best Lies is truly one of the smartest, most propulsive mysteries I’ve ever read….It’s really hard to talk in any depth about how amazing this book is without giving away any spoilers. Let’s just say that this is way more than a story of the collision between industrial espionage and a vicious crime syndicate. It’s smart, humorous, heartfelt, and written so propulsively that it’s impossible to put down. I adored this book so much that it’s one of my favorites of 2024, and hopefully will be one of yours, too.” — Criminal Element
“It is truly the perfect thriller: twisty, surprising, and not at all predictable….It’s one of those books where everything is connected in a way that makes finishing it feel like getting a gift wrapped up in a bow. If you’re looking for your next favorite thriller, you will not be disappointed in this.” — The EveryGirl

Story
Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to. Literally. Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty. And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

Addictive!!
This book might have it all: organized crime, legal procedures, undercover missions, national security threats, corporate espionage, and even some romance. If you’re wondering how all of that fits into a single story, let me tell you—the twists and turns gave me whiplash! There was no guessing where Leo was headed in this crazy tale—I kept trying and failing. Thankfully, the chapters were short, because I rewound a few times to make sure I heard correctly.
The plot David Ellis delivers is fast-paced and action-packed, yet incredibly intricate! I highly recommend this if you enjoy twisty thrillers. Absolutely addictive!

Great story. Female narrator… ugh
Really enjoy David Ellis as an author. Great story line. All the narrators were great with exception of Andi… OMG that was a struggle to listen to the narrator here. She didn’t ruin the book but she was not very good at acting. If you can get past her narrations then it’s a great book

Look Closer was a Gem so......
This author's previous book, Look Closer, ranks up there for me as one of my top listens. I was really excited for this next standalone as the cover had the same feel and multiple narrators was extremely effective with Look Closer. I started it with very little knowledge of the plot, same as the previous standalone.
This one took a little time to grab me and was just so-so out of the gate. I didn't like the characters nor the narrators as much as Look Closer and the story was less captivating. Knowing that Look Closer really had some great twists and turns, I was ready for the same with The Best Lies. By the end, I was definitely impressed again but will admit Look Closer remains the better of the two.
There were some parts of the plot jumps that I felt should have been included - maybe something the author was asked to edit out. I love multiple narrators in books but it can be slightly awkward when there is conversation between each narrator's character and only one of the voices narrating the chapter. David Ellis is definitely one my favorite authors and I will always be putting his next release at the top of my reading list!
