Over the course of the past five years, Elle Marr has skyrocketed to the top of the charts with her signature take on the psychological suspense genre. Marr has stunned critics and readers alike with her deft character development featuring Asian-American protagonists, exceptionally eerie details, and astonishing plot twists. She now returns with her most sensational novel yet, THE LIE SHE WEARS (Thomas & Mercer; November 18, 2025).

Fans of Ashley Flower’s The Missing Half, Lisa Jewell’s Don’t Let Him In, Alafair Burke’s The Note, and Frieda McFadden’s The Tenant will be enthralled by this white-knuckled thriller about a museum curator who inherits her mother’s deadly secrets.

Pearl Davis always had a strained relationship with her mother, Sally. Growing up, she rarely felt her mother’s love. So many things about her mother’s behavior never added up. But when Sally dies unexpectedly, she leaves Pearl a letter from the grave…confessing to murder.

Suddenly, Pearl has even more questions than she has answers. She suspects the letter is just a sign of her mother’s diminished state of mind―until she finds human remains in Sally’s garden. With the help of a friend, Pearl begins searching for the truth of her mother’s actions―and as she does, more cryptic notes emerge. But these letters aren’t just clues behind a confession. They’re a warning. Sally was terrified of something.

When more remains are discovered, it’s clear whatever secrets Sally died with are now Pearl’s to bear. And as darkness closes in, Pearl fears that her mother’s past could be the death of her.

This intricately woven tale is told alternately between the present and the past, with each chapter adding another layer of intrigue and terror. If you enjoy thrillers packed with nail-biting psychological suspense, breathtaking twists, and unforgettable characters, you won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough to discover the surprising conclusion of THE LIE SHE WEARS.
