When a young boy falls from a balcony in a block of flats, DS Grace Allendale witnesses the shocking aftermath of the tragic event. But strangely, no one will admit to seeing anything - and the parents will only tell the police that it was an accident.
Determined to sort the truth from the lies, Grace is thrown into a case that takes her to the darkest corners of the criminal world - and strikes closer to home than she could have ever imagined...

I'd never heard of the author before so didn't really know what to expect with Liar Liar. I enjoyed this book so much I will definitely read more of her work. I read a lot of thrillers and they can get samey after a while. There are only so many original storylines. Liar Liar offers something very different. The premise seems simple, DS Grace Allendale witnesses what seems to be an accident at first when a toddler falls from a balcony. The boy's distraught parents say it was an accident. Grace is suspicious when all of the neighbours conveniently didn't see anything and it's revealed the boy landed on his feet so couldn't have fallen the way everyone says he did. What's going on? Was it an accident or is something more sinister going on? Why are the neighbours so reluctant to speak out? Each time I sat down to read, I was hooked and didn't want to stop until I knew what the hell was going on. Liar Liar offers a new take on ever-popular police procedurals with a realistic setting and great characters.
