The Liar is the third book in the Eddie Flynn series, which has rapidly become one of my favourites, due to the combination of a highly likeable, smart but fallible hero, with highly complicated but deeply satisfying adrenaline-fuelled plots. Each mystery stands alone, but I recommend reading the series in order, including the prequel novella. I only started these because I received an ARC of the next one, Thirteen, from NetGalley, but I am so glad I invested in the earlier books.
Con-man turned Defence lawyer Eddie is contacted by a figure from his past that he can’t say no to. Lennie Howell made a fortune running a hostage recovery business, but when his own teenage daughter is kidnapped, he’s willing to break all the rules to get her back, and wants Eddie to defend him for it, but when the money drop goes wrong, Lennie finds himself accused of her murder. Meanwhile Eddie’s mentor Harry’s career is at risk from a predatory lawyer who has reopened the case of a young drug addict whose baby died in a fire, and plans to blame Harry for her conviction.
I reckon this is the best of the series so far, as there are so many interweaving storylines that even though I figured out part of the mystery quite early on, I had no idea how it all tied together, and was completely gripped until the end. There are a variety of antagonists from the start, as well as some sympathetic support characters, and lots of surprises. While these are books about a lawyer, and there are courtroom scenes, these are much more exciting than your typical legal thriller, and way surpass any John Grishams I’ve ever read.
