'Irresistible intrigue and rich people behaving terribly.' -The Guardian
'Lush language and a setting full of breezy glamor provide an easy entry point into this layered, atmospherically tense exploration of jealousy, love, and family loyalty.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review
'Beautiful and devastating.' - Kirkus, starred review
'Poetic and thoughtful.... I anticipated that at some point a shocking twist would come. And, wow, does it ever.' - The New York Times
'Besides superb character development, there is a dark, supernatural angle that makes this an interesting novel with unexpected twists.... An atmospheric story that will welcome new and seasoned readers to the Sinclair family.' -NPR
'The Sinclairs invite you to join them on their own private island in this compulsively readable story of rich families behaving badly. Lockhart is at the top of her game here, making the dream-like poignancy of Carrie's summer feel effortless and real.' Ellie Marney, author of None Shall Sleep
'Mesmerising and moving, chilling and quietly powerful, Family of Liars is fearless: a superb prequel to a contemporary classic.' Jaclyn Moriarty, bestselling author of The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone
'There's a reason We Were Liars was such a huge hit - because it was kick-arse awesome. So it's a pleasure to spend time with the Sinclairs again. Family of Liars goes back one generation to the 1980s: before the fire, before the chaos, before the mayhem, when everything was more innocent, and more glamorous, but also more corrupt. The characters leap off the page, and the ghosts (who doesn't love a bit of ghost action?) are creepy enough to get the hairs on the back of your neck standing to attention. You'll find yourself yelling at the page, telling the characters to step back from the brink of disaster, even while at the same time you can't stop turning the pages because you can't guess what's going to happen next. Excellent fun!' Gabrielle Williams, author of It's Not You, It's Me
