The Good Liar eBook Catherine McKenzie

"...a woman running away from a tragedy, a woman running toward the same tragedy, and one stuck in the middle of it." This is The Good Liar in the author's own words. Another great read by Catherine McKenzie. All three women have a story to tell. There's an underlying sense of foreboding throughout the book, even though the catalyst is tragic enough. The pieces start falling into place and you think you're getting a handle on it all, but then there's another 1/3 of a book left! There's more to read, trust me.
This is the kind of book that you read again just to see if you missed anything the first time, to see if you can pick up on the subtle clues now that you know the end. Good stuff.

The Good Liar eBook Catherine McKenzie Reviews

I love Catherine McKenzie’s work, and this novel, although different from her other books, was just as enjoyable a read.

On October 10 at 10 a.m. an explosion decimates an office building. Three women who escaped the tragedy are forever marked. Their stories are told in part because a documentary filmmaker interviews them about the experience.

Told from the alternating points of view of the three women, lies and deceptions are slowly unveiled right until the very end, which had me smiling and thinking, bravo Ms. McKenzie.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Lake Union publishing for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this novel.
A year ago, an explosion in a Chicago building took the lives of more than 500 people, and injured thousands more, and the lives of three particular women are altered permanently.

As the one year anniversary approaches, Cecily is morning not just the loss of her husband, but also of her best friend. She was supposed to be in the building at the time of the explosion, but was running late and instead witnessed the aftermath from the street.

Kate, ran from the scene of the explosion and is hoping that her past won’t catch up with her, and Franny, a young woman in search of her birth mother, watched the horror unfold on the morning news, knowing that the woman she was so desperate to reconnect with was in the building.

To honor the anniversary, a documentary is being made, but each of the women have something to hide, and are desperately hoping that their secrets remain hidden.

The Good Liar was really easy to read, and had me hooked from the start, especially when I realized that the book was set in Chicago, which is where I live! The book read like more of a suspense novel to me, sort of in the vein of Big Little Lies, but a little darker.

The book follows Cecily and Kate, and also contains interview transcripts with Franny. Each of these women have secrets that they are trying to keep buried, and the reader is left trying to guess about what those secrets are. I found some of the reveals to be very obvious, but there were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming.

The book was well written, and kept me engaged and wanting to know more, so it was easy to get through quickly! If you liked Big Little Lies, and want something a little darker with a mystery that has a lot of puzzle pieces in play, this will be a great choice for you!
I pre-ordered this novel as I enjoy the Author and her previous writings, however the back and forth of the writing as well as the slow start had me almost giving up on it. I kept on though and it all started to make sense. That is what Catherine McKenzie does and I must not have been patient enough when I began reading. Once into it I enjoyed it. The idea of running away from one's life was most intriguing to me; to up and leave your kids and spouse in an instant., where would one go? What would they do? Would have given 4/5 stars IF not for the slow start.
** I have received an Arc for a honest review!! **

WOW!! WOW!! This is an amazing story! I absolutely LOVED it!! This is her very best one yet!! I would like to reread so I can catch more of the details.

Cecily is running late. Since she was late, she was safe. She was supposed to meet her husband for a meeting in that building. There was a gas exploration in Chicago that killed five hundred thirteen people. A lot of twists and turns that kept my interest.

Franny is searching for her birth mother in that building.

Kate fled hoping she will be able to start over.

I loved how the author intertwined three different ladies with one single event. It makes you think and feel a lot! What an amazing job Catherine! I really enjoyed it!!
I bought this book for my on Sunday and could not put it down; finished it less than 2 full days later.

When you have something that's that good a read, you like to tell people about it.

This is an amazing novel, about an event that joins three women together irrevocably and forever. They are bound by secrets and stories that follow them, unable to let them go, and which have deep emotional consequences.

I won't recap the premise here, but I will say that it's well worth the read. And while I did guess SOME of what was coming up, a good deal of it was a surprise--the best kind of surprise possible, when the writer gets ahead of you. I did not see the final twist coming, and I'm glad.

This is a book I'll re-read, probably more than once, and very happy I found it. Well worth your money and your time.
I love the way Catherine McKenzie writes her characters, there are so many ways to learn who they are and yet who you wonder are they really who they seem, by the choices they make, the secrets they hide. A gas explosion decimates the building where Cecily's husband Tom works, and his co-worker Kate. Folks are running blocks away from the debris, and smoke, and fate kept one woman from being in that building while another lost her husband, and another her mother. The story is told ten years later in a documentary, with alternating voices of each women. What happens over the years is told, how these three women are connected and what their lies have propelled them to do, each chapter building more palpable suspense and questions. This book is compelling and brilliantly written and I highly recommend it as one of this authors best, if not the best to date!
