Laura Nielson, a smart and capable teacher in the middle of a breakup, is set up on a date with widowed surgeon Andrew Earlham. However, the morning after, Laura realises she has been raped. When reporting the rape to the police proves fruitless, Laura investigates the incident herself, ultimately discovering video evidence of her own and several other rapes. Before Earlham can be arrested, however, he is found dead, and the second series focuses on the hunt for his killer. Told from multiple POV, Liar is very well written and very clever. It is simply written, which only adds to the suspense. It’s Las Vegas, baby! Anything can happen in Las Vegas and it does in this book: a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, a fireball in the desert, a disappearing act, counterfeit money, and murder and mayhem. It’s a zany start to this entertaining plot-driven story!

Liar by K.L. Slater | Goodreads

Ben doesn't understand why Judi hates Amber so much, and Judi is extremely upset that Ben is allowing Amber to cut him and the boys out of her life. Amber just wants Ben and the children. Ben then becomes torn between the two women in his life who both appear to want him and the boys all to themselves. Micah tells her story in bits, though, alternating between snatches of the past, details about her family, told in past tense, and what's happening "now", told in present tense. The tense changes enable you to switch readily, but the stop-and-start nature of her story-telling, the less-than-linear plot, does get a bit tiring. It is cleverly constructed and structured, but the constantly-interrupted flow of the narration makes you feel like you're watching an hour-long ad break, or one of those modern music videos where they don't stay on a shot for longer than a second or two, making it hard to tell what you're even looking at. Even though this structure and pacing works perfectly for the story and the way Micah reveals it, it sometimes makes it hard to really sink into it. This book is perfection. Seriously. Look "perfection" up on a dictionary and they should have a picture of Liar as an example. This book transcends all genres it is supposed to be to become more than a YA book with a really engrossing main character; more than a thriller with a really confusing ending; this is 21st century literature at its best. It may seem like I'm exaggerating but I really do mean it. A controversy like that isn't what made me want to read the book, though. At first, I didn't particularly want to read it at all. The blurb didn't entice me, and because of the nature of the story all the reviewers are keeping quiet about what the story's really about. Which is a good thing, because when I did get the book on a whim and start reading it, I was taken by surprise. And I like that. Now at 35, Remmi is living in San Francisco, and a tell-all book has just been published about DiDI’s life. But no one talked to Remmi about it. Coincidentally, Remmi is on her way to talk to the publisher, when a woman leaps from the ledge of a balcony. Remmi’s first glimpse of the jumper shakes her to her core. The broken woman bore a strong resemblance to DiDi. She was dressed in DiDi costume and wig. But it wasn’t DiDi. So where was DiDi and where has she been for the past twenty years?Liar ensnared me, played with my emotions, kept me guessing, kept me reading all through the night, made me question my thoughts, it's gripping,and truly is the perfect physiological thriller!!! Justine Larbalestier is an Australian young-adult fiction author. She is best known for the Magic or Madness trilogy: Magic or Madness, Magic Lessons and the newly released Magic's Child. She also wrote one adult non-fiction book, the Hugo-nominated The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction (Best Related Book, 2003), and edited another, Daughters of Earth: Feminist Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century. In addition, I felt like the reason behind everything got seriously convoluted, but still left a plot point hanging.

Liar Liar: The new, most gripping psychological crime Liar Liar: The new, most gripping psychological crime

Shelley Conn as DI Vanessa Harmon, a detective with the fictional Thanet and Dover Police who investigates Laura's allegation of rape After the first series concluded on 16 October 2017, it was announced that the programme would be returning for a second series. The second series, which premiered on 2 March 2020, [9] focuses on a whodunnit storyline involving the cliffhanger of the first series' finale. Froggatt and Gruffudd both returned. [10] [11] [12] Episodes [ edit ] Series 1 (2017) [ edit ] No.It would be pretty easy to dislike such an unreliable, unfriendly narrator. Wrong again. Larbalestier makes that impossible. Liar or not, Micah is intriguing and oddly likable. A lot of people have asked the author what really happened, but Larbalestier has refused to tell. I think what really happened is beside the point. What's fascinating is the journey Micah takes you on, the two narratives with their very different endings. In fact, I don't think even Larbalestier knows which one is the "truth". I don't think it was her intention for there to be a discernible truth. Things go wrong out there though and when Remmi confronts her mother she still refuses to give any answers. Was Remmi’s mother trying to sell one of her siblings to the stranger? And then when her mother doesn’t return home sixteen year old Remmi finds herself with a baby and no where to go. This is by Far my favourite physiological thriller of 2017..... I have a strong feeling Liar is going to be a hit! But he really did frustrate me and at times I wanted to shake him and shout "open your eyes" ... I know they say love can be blind....but Wow!!!
