Description
Amelia White dreamed of being a reporter, but the closest she'd come was selling advertising in the local paper.
Until the fateful day she stumbles on a truly shocking scoop.
A murder victim, round the corner from her home.
When the police and reporters descend, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman.
Convincing her local paper to let her take up the story herself, Amelia is determined to protect the victim from these smears. But when another body is found, the police investigation stalls.
Now, Amelia's own unfolding investigation may be the only chance of uncovering the truth, and stopping more killings.
If only she can work out who the liar is . . .

Liar is a masterpiece. I highly recommend it.
No one can tell whether the front person is a liar just by looking at his face.
When the police and reporters descend, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman.Convincing her local paper to let her take up the story herself, Amelia is determined to protect the victim from these smears. But when another body is found, the police investigation stalls.
Characters of the book were creepy and intersting especially the characters of protagonist and antagonist.
Narration of the story is excellent.
Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin UK Michael Joseph for giving me an advance copy.

This is the first novel I have read of Lesley Pearse and will be looking out for others as it was quite a read.
Amelia works for a local newspaper selling advertising space. Her background is poor from an abusive family with an alcoholic mother and father quite willing to punch his way in and out of trouble.
Her aspiration is to become a reporter and maybe write a book when one day she comes across the body of a young woman. Convincing her employer to allow her to investigate she soon finds more bodies.
Cleverly plotted as Amelia becomes involved the twists and turns keep coming.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Penguin UK, Michael Joseph and Lesley Pearse for my ARC of ‘Liar' in return for my honest review.
Great read and highly recommended.
