Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception by Susan Carnicero, Philip Houston, Michael Floyd
4.0
I was not expecting much out of this book, but was pleasantly surprised; it is a very interesting look at what kind of behavior is manifested when deception is occurring.
Far from the hallowed steps of "Lie to Me" (the TV show centered around reading micro-expressions), this team of former CIA polygraphers delves into simple physical and speech-based cues to when someone is being deceptive.
I think the most interesting aspect was the commentary accompanying the appendices, which are actual transcripts with commentary from the testimony of individuals (I won't spoil who) that are either proven or suspected to be deceiving the questioner.
If it strikes your fancy, it's definitely worth the read.
