Set in Chicago, "Liar, Liar" is a funny, action-packed mystery at high speed. If it took itself seriously, then...but it doesn't. Cat DeLuca, the protagonist owner of a detective agency, is a fully realized character with lots of attitude and a crazy family.

If you like mysteries, Chicago, OR humor in your novels, you'll really like this book.

A completely fun ride.

There were places where I found the writing to be a bit scattered and hard to follow. The charactors are great and easy to identify with. There were times I laughed out loud at Cat and her gangs high jinx.

My favorite charactor would have to be Mama DeLuca with her quick wit and undying love for her family. Anyone coming from an Italian family can relate to Cat's family and laugh along at her frustration.

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to any readers who like Janet Evanovich and Lisa Lutz. I gave Liar,

I absolutely loved this book! It was very funny, and had a nicely developed mystery too. The characters made me laugh out loud. Cat was an extremely likeable heroine, and her family was so entertaining that I had a hard time putting the book down. I hope that this author (which actually is a writing team of three sisters!) will be coming out with a sequel to this one- I will definitely be watching for it!
(Looks like the sequel will be called "Sticks & Stones"- coming out 2/2012.)

What a fun book. If you like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books you will like this book as it is very much an Evanovich knock-off. Mind you, an excellent knock-off. I can't wait to read the next two books.

Fun, quirky characters...Cat is a detective, her family very Italian. Her mom is a hoot and she has an Uncle Joey with mob ties. A lot of comic relief with a keep you reading mystery thrown into the mix.

The authors are three sisters. I'm not sure how one does that --- 3 authors, but they have it going on. If you want to laugh out loud and be entertained this is the book for you. Enjoy, I did.
