• The Liar

• By: Nora Roberts
• Narrated by: January LaVoy

Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her illusion….

The man who brought her from Tennessee to a suburb dedicated to Philadelphia left her with a heavy debt. He was an adulterer and liar, and when Shelby tracked down his safe deposit box, she found multiple IDs. The man she loved wasn’t just dead. He never really existed.

Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter south in search of comfort in her homeland, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband has secrets that she has yet to uncover. Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows it to be – and threatens even Griff. And a murder is just the beginning.

Possibly one of the best Norah Croft books yet. Has everything. Drama, romance, children, family and a strong woman. Couldn’t be better.

The Liar is packed with suspense, intrigue and romance, together with great characters and a fantastic narrator. I was thoroughly entertained throughout. It was easy to distinguish between the characters and although I’m not from Tennessee and therefore am not an expert, I had no sense that the accents were overdone. So, I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the narrator and I want another story about Shelby’s brother Forest.
