A review by krisrid
The Liar's Lullaby by Meg Gardiner
3.0
This was a good action/suspense story that combines country-music performers, the President, and political intrigues.
When country-singer Tasia McFarland, ex-wife of the President is shot during a stunt at her concert, there are many questions about whether her death is murder, suicide or accident. When the detective investigating calls in forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett to look into the situation.
This is a series, but even though I have not read others, I had no problem following the story or enjoying it. The book is full of action, twists and turns and interesting plot development.
I liked the characters, particularly the character of Jo Beckett, but all the characters felt realistic, complex and interesting. Their activities ebbs and flows and you are never quite sure who are the good guys and who are the bad guys as the story plays out.
This was not the most fantastic book I've ever read, however, it was a good, solid murder/action story and it held my attention and kept me interested all the way through.
