2.23.2018 - The Liar's Girl

The Liar's Girl

Many thanks to NetGalley, Blackstone Publishing, and Catherine Ryan Howard for the opportunity to read her latest book - it's a great one!

Allison is anxious to leave home for college in Dublin with her best friend, Liz.  She soon meets Will, another student at school who becomes her first real boyfriend.  Peace is shattered at the college when young girls' bodies are found dead in the nearby canal.  Liz becomes the next victim and soon after Will is charged with all 5 murders and sent to a psychiatric facility.  Fast forward 10 years and Allison is living in the Netherlands.  She has a new life and never thinks about what happened and how she couldn't have known that her boyfriend was a serial killer.  Then police show up at her door saying that there has been another murder, they've been to see Will who says he has something to confess but will only do so to Allison.  The police take her back to Dublin and she's soon immersed in the nightmare again.

An addictive read, told in paragraphs from Allison Now and Allison Then, so we learn the backstory.  Interwoven are chilling paragraphs from the serial killer.  Lots of twists and turns in this one - highly recommended!
