Summary
Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo and Mo Hayder, Liar Liar showcases all the hallmarks of Arlidge's taut and rapid-fire writing, including his protagonist, DI Helen Grace, and the Southampton based team.
Faced with yet another ruthless serial killer, one with a penchant for pyromania, DI Helen Grace is an unwilling participant in a race against this new sadistic combatant.

Helen Grace - the rebus of a new generation. Great narration from Elizabeth bowers
Love the Helen grace franchise. Flawed but lovable.
Great narration as well.

Liar Liar
Oh my word, how I'm lapping up all of the Helen Grace novels one by one. This particular tome, concerning a spate of arson attacks across Southampton is compelling, yet rather unbelievable at the same time. Wouldn't DI Grace's body have been destroyed by now after she's seriously assaulted by pretty much every one of her suspects? Also, is the sleepy south coast port turning into Midsomer County?
Anyhoo ... I think that I'll give the series a bit of a rest for now.

Helen Grace continues to be of interest
Would you listen to Liar Liar again? Why?
I would not listen to Liar Liar again because I do not think it has any hidden depths - however, for me, that is not the point: it is an entertaining listen the first time around and it held my attention throughout.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that it dealt with an aspect of crime fiction I was not familiar with, namely arson, in an interesting way.
Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Bower’s other performances? How does this one compare?
The narration by Elizabeth Bower was consistently good throughout and just as good as in her other contributions to the Helen Grace books.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No - I tend to listen to audible books while I am washing up. This is the kind of book one can 'put down and pick up' and very quickly get back into the story again.
Any additional comments?
I am looking forward to listening to the next instalment of the Helen Grace books, as she is an interesting character and I am curious to find out how her relationship with her new boss progresses (especially as he has more than a professional interest in her).

Not the best Helen Grace novel...
This one had a few more holes in the plot than previous Helen Grace books, which left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Not as good as Enny Meeny
Can't decide if I didn't like this book as much as Eeny Meeny because of the story or narration. Don't think Elizabeth Bower really did it justice.

When is the next due?
What made the experience of listening to Liar Liar the most enjoyable?
I think the narrator really brings these stories to life. You get a real sense for how the characters are feeling.
What did you like best about this story?
Slightly less gruesome than the earlier DI Grace stories, it's nice to see things taking a slightly different direction.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
None particularly stand out, I enjoyed it all!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No - the book starts strongly and this continues throughout.
Any additional comments?
Can't wait until the next in the series!

another belter!
thoroughly enjoying the series, have even got hubby interested in them! continuing the works of helen grace, it's good that these books follow on with a background story. I think you could read them as stand alone books, but have really enjoyed continuing the series. on to the next one!
