Hallie Ephron will be signing copies of her new thriller, ‘Never Tell A Lie’ (William Morrow), on Friday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Village Books, 1049 Swarthmore. As the Boston Globe’s ‘On Crime’ book review columnist, Ephron reads hundreds of thrillers each year, but none could match the story percolating in her mind after a particularly eerie outing at a local yard sale: ‘I thought: What if a woman goes to a yard sale, somehow she manages to talk her way into the house, she goes inside and’she never comes out?’ Ephron lives in Boston, far from Los Angeles where she grew up in a family of formidable literary talent. She is the third of four writing Ephron sisters; her siblings are movie director Nora and screenwriter/novelists Delia and Amy. Her parents, Henry and Phoebe, wrote screenplays for such classics as ‘The Desk Set,’ ‘Daddy Long Legs,’ and ‘Carousel.’
