Liar is author Jan Burke’s sixth in her series about newspaper reporter Irene Kelly. In this outing the plot revolves around past events in Irene’s own family, as first she learns that her estranged aunt has been murdered and then finds out she is the prime suspect.In an intricate story of family scandals, alienation and secrets, Irene decides the best path for her to clear herself is to first locate her cousin, Travis whom she hasn’t seen since he was a young boy. As her husband is out of town, she turns to her friend, Rachel, a private investigator, and together they track the missing relative. They soon realize that bringing Travis home could be a mistake as someone is out to remove all the family members in order to keep their secrets from surfacing.This was a well plotted thriller full of family grudges and feuds. Irene is smart, tough, sensible and an extremely likeable heroine. I really enjoyed the women’s camaraderie and how capable a team they were. Liar was not only a great suspense read, it also helped to fill in much of Irene’s family background and help define this character. I am looking forward to future books in this highly readable series.

As good as any other books by Burke that I've read, and while I won't give it a 4 or 5, because none of them are on course with a book like The Lovely Bones. But they don't have to be. This author writes intriging mysteries very well. I reccomend.
