What are those signs and how can we spot them? And why can’t we get enough of liars and unreliable narrators in our favourite stories? Three authors – one of crime fiction, one of domestic thrillers, the other a criminal barrister – discuss the art of deception, the differences between personal and professional lying, and how to spot a liar yourself.
