A review by jessthebookworm
The Liar's Daughter by Claire Allan

3.0

Heidi has to look after Joe, the man who raised her as a father, as he is dying of cancer. It soon becomes apparent that Heidi doesn't want to help Joe, she actually despises him. When he dies it seems like a relief, but then the police raise suspicions as to his cause of death.

Heidi is dealing with a lot, her baby is 5 months old, her stepsister hates her as much as always, she's battling to cope with her grief. She doesn't think that she can cope with hearing the townsfolk speak about Joe as though he was a wonderful man.

The problem is, everyone seems to suspect that Heidi killed Joe.

This was a very hard hitting read, dealing with very tough subjects. I actively hated Heidi's stepsister Ciara throughout this book. It definitely elicited a strong response out of me.
