A murder mystery built around a stolen identity

In the fourth installment of Sara Shepard’s Lying Game series, Emma Paxton is living as Sutton Mercer after Sutton’s murder, trying to uncover who killed her twin. Sutton, separated from Emma at birth, remains present as a ghostly witness. The investigation turns Emma’s attention toward the people closest to Sutton—including friends, rivals, and family—and toward secrets surrounding the Mercer family. The dual perspectives place the search for answers alongside Sutton’s account of watching Emma take her place, linking the mystery to questions of identity, trust, and family history.

Book overview

The fourth installment in the thrilling Lying Game series, from New York Times bestselling author Sara Shepard, delivers dark family secrets, devious pranks, and nail-biting suspense that will thrill old fans and new.


Separated at birth, twin sisters Emma Paxton and Sutton Mercer never had a chance to meet. And now they never will. Someone murdered Sutton and forced Emma into taking her place.

Sutton can only watch from beyond the grave as Emma tries to figure out who killed her--and why. But as Emma digs deeper, the girls discover that the truth may be far more terrible than they'd ever imagined--and the killer may be a lot closer to home....

 

  • Twin Sister Mystery: Emma must become Sutton, the popular twin she never knew, to find a killer who could be anyone--a jealous friend, a bitter rival, or even family.
  • Secrets and Lies: Everyone in Sutton's life is a suspect, and every clue Emma uncovers reveals that her sister's perfect life was built on a foundation of dangerous secrets.
  • Nail-Biting Suspense: Told from the unique perspectives of both Emma, the imposter, and Sutton, the ghost, this page-turner keeps you guessing until the very last page.
  • Dark Family Secrets: As Emma gets closer to the truth, she realizes the murder isn't random. It's connected to a terrible secret the Mercer family has been hiding for years.
