Can you catch a liar in their word—literally? Forensic linguist Kirsty King confidently answers in the affirmative. Liars are betrayed by their own speech, and it's impossible to avoid it.

When people lie, their brains work at full capacity: they need to conceal the truth, craft a convincing lie, and monitor the other person's reaction, adapting their story to it. This stress influences their word choice, speech structure and volume, voice, and gestures. King teaches you to notice details: what pronouns a liar chooses, what they avoid, how long pauses arise in their speech. Each conclusion is illustrated by a real-life example—from criminal cases, celebrity interviews, or personal life—and supported by the results of linguistic and psychological research. This book provides concrete recommendations that will help you make an informed decision about whether to believe what you hear or not.
