You be the judge. Overall Genuine Fraud is an unputdownable novel with one of the best examples of an unreliable narrator that i have ever read.From the author of the unforgettable New York Times bestseller We Were Liars comes a masterful new psychological suspense novel-the story of a young woman whose diabolical smarts are her ticket into a charmed life. There were definitely some ‘gotcha’ moments as well as that brilliant moment where pieces start fitting together and you’re sat there thinking ‘wow, you devious bitch.’ But I also loved that there is such a strong female presence in this book along with very blurred lines on who is the ‘good guy’ and who is the ‘bad guy’.

I loved the way this novel worked backwards, it’s a very skilful way of writing and a great approach to keeping the intrigue going, we know the ending from the beginning and now it’s just a matter of finding out the how’s and why’s. A friendship woven with secrets and lies and a couple of murders thrown in for good measure. Slowly, chapter by chapter the novel begins to go back in time and the reader finds out more about Jule and her friend Imogen and the plot gets even thicker. But also a little bit mysterious and deadly. Jule, an orphan is living it up in a posh hotel. The first thing that strikes you about this book is that it starts at the end.

Wowzer! Like many other people I loved We Were Liars but Genuine Fraud is something else!
