The Liar's Girl by Catherine Ryan Howard
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an ARC of The Liar's Girl for review.
I want to start by saying that this isn't your typical fast-paced thriller, so if you're expecting that, you're going to be disappointed. But that's not to say that it isn't worth a read for suspense lovers. The Liar's Girl is a slow build suspense, with a sort of crime solving aspect that is very easy to get overly involved in - just the way I like it! There are twists, yes, but they're not constant - but they are worth it. You'll become invested in the characters, in the crime, and in solving the murders.
I absolutely love a book that can make you hate a victim and sympathize with a criminal, and The Liar's Girl does that well. You become invested in and form opinions about all the characters, which is largely due to Catherine Ryan Howard's brilliant characterizations of them.
I definitely recommend The Liar's Girl - especially if you're a fan of Dublin. It's so fun to read a book that references place you know, and Catherine Ryan Howard is sure to point out some popular spots in Dublin, in addition to making the Grand Canal the focal point of the book.
