The Good Liar by Nicholas Searle
Film release: Nov. 15
Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen team up in this story of a modern-day Tom Ripley and his mark, a wealthy widow who readily welcomes him into her home and her life. “The pace is almost maddeningly deliberate, with details about the characters and their schemes doled out like a controlled substance, but patient readers will be rewarded with devastating third-act twists and a satisfying denouement,” writes Publishers Weekly of Searle’s novel.
