“Old jealousies and fresh deceits, family loyalties gone wrong and love turned sour, all lay a twisting trail that leads deep into the Louisiana swamp, endangering all who cross the path of a bad liar.”
Bad Liar, Tami Hoag
Looking for a book with dedicated detectives, the Louisiana swamp, and 2 missing men connected by their small town past? Bad Liar by Tami Hoag has all of the above (and more)!
As your resident police procedural expert, this was excellent. Nick Fourcade and Annie Broussard are fantastic leads, with a long history together and a determination to get justice for their cases. I enjoyed following both of them as they worked their cases, visiting the many areas of their precinct.
The cases Fourcade and Broussard were working to solve were fascinating, and so realistic. As the third book in their series, I was worried it would be about hunting some fantastically intelligent serial killer. Instead, Hoag wove together stories of heartbreakingly real issues: opioid addiction, domestic violence, and assault. Hoag also wrote incredible side characters that truly impacted me emotionally.
Thanks to Netgalley and Dutton Books for the free advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review!
