The Liar

Library Journal 04/15/2015 Appalled by the depth of her husband's deceit and the debt he leaves behind when he is lost in a boating accident, Shelby Pomeroy Foxworth takes her three-year-old daughter, Callie, and heads home to her family and her Smoky Mountain roots. Reconnecting with her past and building a life for herself and Callie is the order of the day. Having another man in her life—especially one as appealing as Griff Lott—or realizing that something evil and dark has followed her to Rendezvous Ridge is certainly not on the agenda. VERDICT A strong, capable heroine who comes into her own, a hero with the intelligence and patience to wait, and a cast of engaging secondary characters combine in an intense, complex (but not too surprising) mystery that links superlative writing and character development with plenty of down-home Tennessee charm. Riveting. Roberts (Blood Magick) lives in Keedysville, MD.
