Story
Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed her father into the woods. In freeing the girl trapped in the root cellar, Naomi revealed the horrible extent of her father’s crimes and made him infamous. No matter how close she gets to happiness, she can’t outrun the sins of Thomas David Bowes. Now a successful photographer living under the name Naomi Carson, she has found a place that calls to her, a rambling old house in need of repair, thousands of miles away from everything she’s ever known.

From #1 New York Times-best-selling author Nora Roberts comes a novel of a woman who needs nothing, a man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed, and danger that brings them together - and that could tear them apart… As a professional house-sitter and freelance writer, nothing ties Lila Emerson down - not her work, not a home, and definitely not a relationship. She spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a friend's Manhattan apartment.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

Publisher's Summary
In a “sexy, suspenseful read,” #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers “a slow-burning fuse of a plot that ultimately explodes in a nail-biting conclusion".
Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her illusions....
The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt. He was an adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his safe-deposit box, she finds multiple IDs. The man she loved wasn’t just dead. He never really existed.
Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband had secrets she has yet to discover. Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows - and threatens Griff, as well. And an attempted murder is only the beginning...

Like nails on a chalkboard
Between the southern drawl in the baby talk I couldn't even get past one chapter of this audiobook. I may try to buy the book later and see how it fares to read it but definitely not able to deal with the narrator on this book.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed the book even though I figured it out mostly in the first two chapters.
It sort of dragged a bit. There were times Shelby got on my last nerve and No doubt it could have been shorten. But I read/listen to books for entertainment and I was entertained so the book did it's job. Some people were looking for a straight up suspense, I like romance with my suspense.
I guess I must not have read/listen to the books this book was supposed to be like because I didn't feel this was a rehashed book or a couple of Nora's older books re-done.
It is not a great story, but a decent one. You won't be disappointed unless you are looking for a block buster.

Enjoyed it but figured it out too early.
Always love her books. I just wish I hadn't figured it out so early. Instead of spending the book wondering "who did it, "I spent the book wondering how the mystery would be solved. Maybe that was her intent, and if so, she succeeded. I still enjoyed the book immensely.

Not a great book.
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Usually fans of Nora Roberts Romance/Dramas. But I'm not sure this time.
Has The Liar turned you off from other books in this genre?
No.
What three words best describe January LaVoy’s performance?
Good except for Child's.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment
Any additional comments?
The performance was pretty good. But the Southern accents become grating and progressively more difficult to listen to. The story is less than stellar and so predictable.

So formulaic, sappy and annoying.
The performance... I couldn't take the baby talk either. And the stereotypical Southern accents and Southern-isms.
What's to LIKE about this book? Not much.This book is basically a Hallmark channel movie. The story is entertaining enough in its simple and predictable way, but is almost too irritating to get through. I'm about halfway through and can't go any further.

Not Worth Your Time
What disappointed you about The Liar?
The story read like it was written for a 5 year old. The narrator was awful with a very FAKE Southern accent. I tried putting it on FAST play but it was still unpalatable. I should have known better than pick a Nora Roberts book in the first place. I don't think any man would enjoy listening to it. Never again.
Has The Liar turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes. Also, certainly from this author or narrator.
Would you be willing to try another one of January LaVoy’s performances?
Never never never.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Liar?
Everything involving the kid.
Any additional comments?
Bad bad bad choice. Yuck!

15 hour story that should have been 2
It just goes on and on and on. . Like listening to a bunch of chickens clucking in a hen house. It started with potential, but it's like listening to a scenic tour of the desert salt flats, pretty soon it's not hard to guess what's up ahead. Even towards the end when the tension finally starts to build and go somewhere, it prematurely climaxes and just leaves you feeling unsatisfied... Overall it's vanilla.

You know what you're getting
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
You know where you're going with a Nora Roberts' suspense romance but that's half the fun of the journey. It is worth listening to if you want a traditional romance novel with a heroine escaping a past that includes violence from the worst kind of man - and the odd malicious or cold woman -.and finding her path in life. With Nora Roberts the heroine will face fear and heartache down and be thrown together with family or friends old and new as well as a lasting love interest who will stay the course as she finds out what she wants. It is not breathtaking, but there is comforting easy listen to be found in the escapism and the attention to details of idealised small town American life. I like the emphasis on friendships as well as romance that Nora Roberts adds into the mix so it isn't all about finding the right man. In fact the relationships are only sealed as permanent when our heroine knows where she is (and how strong she is) in other areas of her life. I am also a total sucker for the animal characters Roberts writes and her loving description of the landscape, homes and towns she sets her stories within. Her books are like a road trip - it's the places you visit on route, the view and the company of the characters that make the book time well-spent.
The dialogue is often edging on ridiculous - does anyone actually speak like that? Despite that I find myself liking most of the characters. Each voice is well narrated by January LaVoy.
So, when I need predictable, tidy endings with some adrenaline moments, Roberts is a good bet for an enjoyable listen. If that's not what you're looking for, she may not be the author (and this may not be the book) you are looking for.

One big yawn
It was obvious from the beginning where this story would lead. The narration leaves much to be desired. I cringed every time I heard the child's voice. Speaking of said child, she was a perfect little girl and it got irritating real quick. Nora Roberts has written some interesting thrillers but this wasn't one of them. I think it's time to stop supporting Ms Robert's writing factory.

Promised excitement, delivered shallow romance
The story had an exciting setup with backstories and a nice revenge motive. The it was just scene after scene of happy family life and predictable romance. The ingredients were just out of proportion with this one: all fillers, no content. Great reader though.

Oh so slow
I listened to this book because I had enjoyed a previous Nora Roberts book. This book could have been a 1 hour story. The story was good but the drivel in-between just went on and on and on, it started well but was so slow getting to the action. Full of sugary itty bitty characters from the deep south, whose drippy sweetness overkill, had me near puking at times, there were so many fingers down the throat moments. The truly handsome sexy men, the lispy child, the sex scenes were really over the top.
The book is read in a southern American drawl, which as a Brit is sometimes hard to take, but then the average Brummie accent must do the same to Americans, so you go with the flow.
If I had not been on my own and deep cleaning I would never have bothered to go on listening but it was light enough to float over me and I just let it play out - don't waste your money if you are a serious crime book reader it was romantic drivel with crime thrown in.

just boring
nora roberts must have written this one when she was very tired and out of ideas. Usually her books have a bit more suspense and action. It just drags. i deleted it when there was still hour and half remaining. There was just nothing there to keep the listener going to the finale....if there even was going to be one!!

Enjoyable light listen
What did you like most about The Liar?
I've been a bit hit or miss with Nora Roberts's stories in the past, but gave this a go and I'm happy I did. It's charming portrait of small town life and close knit family makes up for some of the themes that irked me.
The unravelling of the mystery is done with deft timing, and was an enjoyable listen.
The narrator is gold. Perfect voice for bringing this book to life and was one of the main reason's I enjoyed it.

Pretty good
Any additional comments?
Looking back at my Goodreads status reviews I can see that for the first half I was addicted to listening to this book. The book slowed down in the middle, then picked up again near the end.
I would say that it's a bit predictable based on the title but it was fairly suspenseful and engaging through most of it. I'll classify this a beach read. 4 stars!

Not for me...too soapy.
Struggled to finish...the narrator did a fine job, but the mawkish characters had me rolling my eyes constantly...I only saw it through to the end because I wanted to see if I'd picked the outcome ...I did. Never again, just not my thing like a really long mills and boon..
