I recently listened to the audiobook of Liar by K. L. Slater.

This is another thriller (I said I have been on a kick), and I loved this one.

From the publisher’s summary:

Single dad Ben is doing his best to raise his children, with the help of his devoted mother Judi. And then Ben meets Amber. Everyone thinks this is a perfect match for Ben but Judi isn’t so sure…

There’s just something about Amber that doesn’t add up. Ben can’t see why his mother dislikes his new girlfriend. And Amber doesn’t want Judi anywhere near her new family. Amber just wants Ben and the children.

The further Judi delves into Amber’s personal life, the closer she gets to shocking secrets that could change everything. And Judi must make a decision that could lead to the most disastrous consequences.

This was a book where I found myself finding ways to have more time to listen to the book.   Amber and Judi are both interesting characters.  You’re not supposed to really like Amber, and that’s deliberate in how the story unfolds.  And Judi nearly drove me crazy a few times.

But there’s a twist to this one that was absolutely delicious to uncover.  It left me saying “WHAT?!” and it made me a  K.L. Slater fan.  Both this and the other Slater book I have listened to are set in England and narrated by  Lucy Price-Lewis, who was easy to listen to. She provides nuanced narration and it is easy to follow character changes in her diction.

This one is a highly recommend from me.
