The Lying Game is a suspense-filled thriller that combines carefully, the right dose of drama, romance and mystery. The plot revolves around Emma, a foster kid who'd been dragged aimlessly through dozens of useless 'families'. But suddenly her world, life and identity are turned upside-down after watching a video of herself. Except it was not her. She then contacts Sutton Mercer an adopted doppelganger who seemed she had everything she didn't. Except a life. Separated at birth, Sutton got the good life, and Emma got nothing but memories of a mother who abandoned her. She is then forced to act as her long-lost twin Sutton, as she tries to uncover the mystery of her sisters murder. As she digs ups more and more of Sutton's life, her own is thrown into a world of lies, mind-games and tricks. The book is narrated by Sutton who has just occasional glimpses of parts of her past life as she, too, tries to piece together her own death and who is using Emma to get away with murder - no body, no death.
