Five went into the woods that night, but only four came out. Liane Moriarty meets Tana French in this major new launch from a bestselling Irish crime writer.

PERFECT HOMES. PERFECT FAMILIES. PERFECT LIES.

‘Deliciously dark... I loved it!’ Andrea Mara
‘Wildly entertaining and well written’ Liz Nugent
‘Fans of Big Little Lies will devour this’ Ashley Audrain

Killiney is South County Dublin’s most coveted postcode.
Home to cliff-top views, perfect lawns…and secrets buried deep.

On the night of a full moon, five teenagers go into the woods for a game of dares. Saskia Foley – bright, magnetic and unforgettable – doesn’t come back.

Now three women must navigate their worst fears and darkest instincts to protect their children who were with Saskia the night she vanished.

Saskia’s mother thinks she could have been taken by a wolf. Which is surely impossible.

Because in Killiney, the predators don’t have claws.
They have keys to perfect homes.
And everything to lose.

Praise for Beautiful Liars

A heady mix of glamorous characters, a glossy surface and a deliciously dark underbelly. I loved it!

Andrea Mara

Nobody is who they seem to be. Like an Irish Liane Moriarty… Cassidy’s plot keeps twisting to almost unbearable tension.

Liz Nugent

Fans of Big Little Lies will devour this propulsive mystery thick with privilege, secrets, and betrayal… A must-read for anyone who craves dark, intelligent domestic suspense layered with emotional depth.

Ashley Audrain

Amanda Cassidy more than delivers on the promise of this fast-paced, impeccably crafted thriller, set in an expensive community of privileged people in Dublin, most of whom have something to hide. It is wickedly enjoyable to watch their lives fall apart as a missing girl sets off a chain of disasters. Beautiful Liars is a clever and compelling story with unforgettable characters.

Jane Casey

Beautiful Liars is a rich, satisfying, gripping read. I couldn’t put it down.

Sabine Durrant

Beautiful Liars is the best kind of domestic suspense – a tense, taut, emotionally charged thriller with plenty of twists, but also a novel about the secrets that simmer beneath the surface of a close-knit community and the lengths that parents will go to when their children are on the line

Alafair Burke, NYT bestselling author

An atmospheric puzzle box of a thriller, Beautiful Liars plunges you into a world of mystery, family, and friendship where no one is quite what they seem and everyone has something to lose. Cassidy’s page-turning suspense is only outdone by characters who linger long after the story ends

Tracy Sierra

Beautiful Liars is a bold, impressive and utterly addictive novel about what it means to be a woman in this world and the sacrifices we will make for love. Cassidy is a brilliant storyteller, blending Irish mythology with hard realities. I found it both beautiful and moving, sharp and incisive, shocking and compelling
