thank you NetGalley for the ARC. Karen Rose is one of my favourite authors. This book was to her amazing high standards. The twists and turns through the book had you second guessing all the way to the end. Definitely recommend

Great start to the series, I really liked the characters and I am looking forward to another book in the series

A fast paced thriller that had me guessing g all the way through the book. Will definitely read. Ore from this author. I liked the plot line and style of writing.
Definitely one I would recommend

Another amazing book from Karen Rose. One of the major reasons why I live their books is their ability to capture my attention from the very first page. The characters were interesting and well developed and I really cared about what happened to them. Overall, another engaging and intense story from Karen Rose.

First book in this series by this author
And once again she didn’t disappoint
You will definitely not want to put this book down
Thanks NetGalley

Oh I do love a Karen Rose book, she never disappoints and I have been reading her for years. This was very enjoyable and I soon got into the characters and the crime. Looking forward to book 2.

I was given a free copy by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own.

Cold Blooded Liar is the first novel in the San Diego Case Files series by Karen Rose. This is a complex murder investigation. Dr Sam Reeves is a psychologist whose client reveals that he committed a cold case murder. This case is almost 20 years old and involved the murder of a young girl. Sam makes an anonymous call to the police department and the body is found. There are indications that this body is linked to 4 other murders. Sam is tracked down and decides launch his own investigation which clashes with Kit’s own and at one stage he is considered a suspect. Kit (Kit Cat)Mckittrick, a detective with San Diego police homicide department, who has a excellent reputation for solving cold cases. She wants to solve this case as her foster sister disappeared 16 years ago and remains a cold case. As Kit and her partner Baz Constantine delve deeper they discover more bodies, some of whom are close to Sam. They need to investigate whether or not he did actually commit this crime and Sam needs to prove his innocence.
Kit and Sam are both complex individuals with interesting back stories which will no doubt be built upon in futures novels. This an intense psychological thriller that draws you, as the reader, in. The novel is well written and full of relocations and twists in the storyline. I was completely wrong in my suspicions on who the murderer is. This is what makes a great rather than a meh suspense novel. The anticipation, pinpointing a suspect and then being wrong shows how skilled an author is.

I thorough enjoyed this book and would recommend.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley UK in exchange a honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me o read an advanced copy of this book.

Although this book is shorter than the majority of Karen Rose's other books it still packs as much of a punch. I really liked both of the main characters and I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship. I will definitely be continuing with this series.

A stunner of a book that I had real trouble stopping.

Was absolutely blown away by this one. It is a must read.

Cannot wait for the next one.

Highly recommended, 5 stars from me.

I’ve read a few Karen Rose books now and really enjoyed them. In the prologue I really wasn’t sure where things weee going to go but seeing the relationships develop was so good, I enjoyed this aspect just as much as the actual murder investigation.
At about a quarter of the way through it seems like everything has been wrapped up. You know this can’t be the case but you’ve no idea where it’s going to go!
Throughout the book I had suspicions as to where things were heading and who the prime suspect was (or who I really didn’t like and wanted them to be involved 😂), needless to say I was completely wrong!

This is the first in a new series from Karen Rose and I’m really hoping that we get the next in the series soon, as I loved the characters and can’t wait to see their relationships develop.

One of my favourite authors. You will never be disappointed reading one of her books. This new series I really enjoyed and cannot wait for the next. If you are wanting a gripping thriller then this is your book - kept me guessing until the end *****

This is the first book in the San Diego series and straight away you know this is going to be a great read.

Sam a psychologist has a client who divulges details about a murder case.

Kit is a detective who wants to solve the case, so maybe working together they can find the murder.

I loved this fast paced thrilling book and cannot wait for the next instalment.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

Karen Rose knows how to write a pacy thriller and this is no exception. The first book in the new San Diego series set up the plot well and the sprinkling of crossover characters from other books was well done. I look forward to the next one. (Copy received via Netgalley in return for an honest review)

I really loved this book and everything about it. It kept me hooked from the very begining. Karen rose is one of my favourite authors and i cant see that ever changing.

Cold Blooded Liar by Karen Rose
Thank you Headline Books for sending me an advance copy for review.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it.

I loved the way the characters were built and very much enjoyed Detective Kit’s back story and loved how it shaped her decision making etc in this book. Therapist Sam was an interesting character too, and we were kept on our toes about him and also the whole will they won’t they throughout.

The storyline itself was pretty unique and I enjoyed the technological aspects that brought this crime thriller bang up to date. I didn’t guess the murderer, and that’s always a good thing, and it wasn’t a let down when all was revealed. The ending is tense and exciting and overall I think it’s a great read.

If I were to make one criticism it would be that at times it was a bit repetitive. For example when Sam was searched we read all about it happening but then we read it again when he told his parents about it in detail, and then we read it once more when he told his boss about it too.

If you enjoy crime thrillers though, I would definitely recommend it. 3.5 Stars.

This is another absolutely brilliant book from @karenrosebooks

I was instantly hooked by this one. It’s a book that became completely impossible to put down.

This is every bit as dark and addictive as I hoped. Kit is a superb character and this is a completely wonderful start to a new series- I’m already craving more.

This is filled with tension. I’ve been transported completely and unwilling to put this one down. I am a huge Karen Rose fan and this is a definitely a favourite.

I will definitely be recommending this book to fans of the genre.. I can’t wait for more.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I thoroughly enjoyed Cold Blooded Liar, which is an engrossing murder investigation with some great twists. Surprisingly there are no sizzling sex scenes and or raging hormones, which have become a feature of Ms Rose’s work, instead there is a low key attraction, which will continue in future novels, I assume. I like it as it seems more realistic to me and there is no distraction from the plot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cold Blooded Liar is a fast paced detective thriller. We follow the investigation of serial killings by a team of detectives, featuring the main character, Kit. There’s just the right mix of tense action and insight into the relationships and personalities of the various players. I’d love it if there is to be further books with the same characters as it would definitely be a series I’d follow. I thoroughly recommend it.

Thank you to the author, the publishers and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review the book.

I haven’t read any books by this author previously but I certainly will be doing now!
A great storyline that keeps you gripped throughout - an individual confesses to a murder in a therapy session and the therapist needs to decide if this individual is telling the truth or lying (as usual). Hard to put down and easy to follow - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A must read for crime and thriller fans. Thank you to Netgalley and the author/publishers for this ARC.

I just reviewed Cold Blooded Liar by Karen Rose. #ColdBloodedLiar #NetGalley

Very enjoyable thriller about a man confessing to a cold case murder to his therapist who then has to decide if his patient is lying, as he is known to do, or if he’s telling the truth.

He decides to call in the San Diego police to check it out and it sends you on a thrilling ride of did he or didn’t he? A must read for fans of murders and thrillers.
