A story about secrets and lie's.
An interesting storyline if a little unbelievable at times.
Well written characters, some more likeable than others.
Not my favourite from this author but still an enjoyable read.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Thanks to Louise and NetGalley for allowing me to read The Liar before the publication date.

There are hints about secrets from the start of this book, giving the story an edginess.

The chapters are narrated by each character, giving the reader an insight into some of what is happening in their lives. It is obvious that they each have history which they don’t want to share.

As the story unwinds, secrets and lies are exposed.
I found some of the story to be a little farfetched and less than believable. Overall it is an easy read.

Louise Jensen writes the type of story that keeps the reader engaged and brings them on a twisty path before revealing the truth and as always has managed to keep the eventual suspect a surprise by introducing shadowy figures who have reasons as to why they are a possibility. Apart from the main story there are a few minor ones that the author cleverly brings back together towards the end and leaves the reader to their own conclusions as to what happens after the book ends. Another totally enjoyable read for me and I am already looking forward to seeing what the next book will be.

An emotionally complex story with secrets, twists and turns. A little unbelievable at times, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

A gripping and emotional thriller with lots of shocks and twists and turns. A very good read, recommended!

'The Liar' unf0lds to be a lot more complex and intriguing than I was initially anticipating and I was hooked by it. The start of the book has the plot go in one direction and then as more and more is revealed it completely changes and makes for a very different book. This meant I was absolutely gripped by the read and read this in one sitting. The only thing that let this down for me is some of the events are very unbelievable and the book lost a sense of reality as a result.
However this is still a fantastic read and I really liked the characters.
Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for an advance copy.

Social Worker Melissa Abbott is a lovely mum. A single parent since the departure of husband Paul, she has not only lived, loved and cared for daughters Jen and Amy, but also taken in Jen’s best friend Camilla and raised her like her own. Always a shoulder to cry on, when Camilla confides a massive secret, Mel immediately acts to make things better. Just as she does with the children in her charge as their social worker.

A book full of secrets and lies, this was a really good read. The plot flowed nicely, and the characters were a mixed bag of hate ‘em, love ‘em! With some good twists too.

I will look forward to reading the finished book on its publication, as this wasn’t a particularly good arc, and some editing still to be done.

Not my favourite by this fabulous author, but still one to recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and HQ.

There are a lot of angles to this book. Jen and Amy’s mom is a social worker and tells them she needs a break. Meanwhile, Luke shows up because he had a deal with their mom to rent a room. But Luke seems suspicious and then girls are discovering things about him that don’t add up.

Jen gets into a situation at school, which results in her suspension. She is terrified two men from her past have resurfaced. Jens friend, Camilla, may also be affected by these men and she is fearful to lose her son, Mason. So many angles, so many connections one never saw coming. It flowed nicely and I really enjoyed it.
