The Liar's Girl

Twenty-nine-year-old Alison has lived in the Netherlands for the past 10 years, finishing college and starting her professional life. She has never been back to Dublin, not even to visit her parents. Ten years ago, her boyfriend, Will, confessed to multiple murders, and the knowledge that she was in love with a convicted serial killer sends Alison reeling. Will is behind bars, yet the killings have resumed, and the Dublin police are desperate to stop them. Alison agrees to come back, speak to Will, and try to get helpful information. But all is not as it seems, and Alison is shocked to learn the truth. This novel is fast-paced and intriguing, keeping readers guessing until nearly the end. However, Alison prefers to hide rather than face up to reality, which makes sense when she is 19 but wears thin by age 29. Also, readers might get tripped up on the Irish vernacular, if they are only familiar with American English.
