Finished: The Lies I Tell (Clark) Such a great page-turner! I read this book in a day and half. It's the story of Kat, a reporter who is determined to get close to a con artist named Meg, who Kat feels ruined her life 10 years before Meg, is a brilliant con artist who is back in town after ten years to finally pull her biggest con yet on the man who stole her dying mother's house out from under her, leaving teenage Meg and her mother living out of a car. Meg spent the years since conning men...but only men who had done irreparable harm to women. Women must stick together and look out for each other, and if they can't look out for themselves, Meg will do it! Of course, the way she goes about it is totally illegal, usually scamming the men out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, on her scam that put a high school principal in prison for having sex with students, Kat became a victim as well. Sent to report on the scandalous story, she wanted to dig further and expose the person who pulled the con. Ignoring her superiors, she took a call from Meg who gave her information that led to her being traumatized herself. It's a great book and I quickly came to root for Meg to get revenge (or justice?) on these predatory men. I also loved the ending on this one! :-)
