It soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems in the lives of either man. And it’s unclear whether either - or neither - might be the unidentified murder victim.

*Review of the Tami Hoag crime novel ‘Bad Liar’ written by Wednesday Elf
Sounds like a captivating detective thriller! Louisiana is such an interesting state with unique and scary landscape areas, not to mention the menacing creatures that lurk there. The perfect setting for missing persons mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLouisiana certainly does have some unique & scary landscape for sure. I would find the bayou areas scary with poisonous snakes and alligators making their homes there. :) A certain beauty too not found anywhere else in the U.S.
DeleteSounds like a book I would enjoy
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, the Louisiana bayou makes a perfectly scary setting for a murder mystery! I enjoy watching Eve Dallas and Roarke team up on murder investigations, so I’m thinking I might enjoy Broussard and Fourcade as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Bayou is such a mix of either spectacular beauty, or scary to the core, almost mystical - For those who enjoy a good crime thriller, this is a perfect choice. Sounds riveting!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really good book to me. What I don't understand is how can I read so much and still have a growing list of books? Thanks for adding another one to that list Pat~!
