Nora Roberts

The Liar

When her husband Richard is killed in a freak accident, Shelby Pomeroy is devastated. But she soon learns a horrible truth - Richard was a conman and a cheat, and their life together was a lie. Returning home to Tennessee, Shelby discovers a new sense of strength and freedom. And hope, too, in the form of handsome carpenter Griffin Lott. But not everyone is thrilled to see Shelby Pomeroy back in town. And when a shocking act of violence is traced back to Richard's shady business, Shelby realises she is still not safe from his lies...

This was a good book! I can see the crossover in the buildup of suspense with her JD Robb books. Enjoyed this quick read.

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. Attempted murder is only the beginning.

Lots of pointless rambling dialogue, and flat characters. Readable, but only just.

The book is great. It’s well written with tons of detail. Maybe even too much detail that it can be hard to keep things straight. It’s also mostly build up. I’d say out of a 500 page book 450 of those are just for building up what ends up being a very short finale (which is also pretty easy to guess, from the beginning I knew exactly how this book was going to end even the big surprise) It took me forever to finish this book because not a lot is happening until the very end.

Nora Roberts's book are potato chip lit for me. I love them, but they're kind of empty calories. Predictable but enjoyable.

Every time I say I am not going to read another Nora Roberts because "they are all the same", she makes another interesting book. Having been a single mom and a daughter who is a single mom, I love Griff!

I have fun reading Nora Roberts books, and this one was no exception. A bit overlong with some repetition, I still thoroughly enjoyed Shelby's story of coming back from a horrible marriage filled with lies. I especially loved the ending (view spoiler)[because Shelby saves her own darn self before her guy can come do it for her (he is on his way though) (hide spoiler)]. Perfect type of book for reading while keeping one eye on three year old.

As always, Nora Roberts has come up with another winner. It was a good story with engaging characters. However, it seemed as though this was the first of one of her trilogies rather than a stand alone story. It was easy to see that the supporting characters could have had their own books. The romantic suspense was fairly limited, but still this was a good stand-alone story.
