Summary
Everyone is guilty of something.

Handywoman Barb Young has lived in the sleepy coastal town of Bullford Point for over fifty years - and frankly, in that time, not much has happened, unless you count that business where a bush turkey managed to board the ferry a couple of years ago.

When Joe Griffiths returns from Sydney after six years of drug addiction, jail and, eventually, rehab, Barb offers him a job, hoping to help him turn his life around. However, when another new resident of Bullford Point is murdered, Joe becomes the prime suspect.

Barb thinks the police have got it wrong, but the more she tries to find the truth and clear Joe's name, the more confusing things become. Is the murder connected to the developers circling the waterfront home Joe inherited from his parents? Or to the true crime podcast he has been making about the death of his ex-girlfriend, seven years previously? And what was the information the murdered woman had been trying to horse-trade with police?

As her off-the-books investigation continues, Barb discovers that drowsy Bullford Point is actually a town full of secrets - and that even though she's known everyone in the close-knit community for years ... everybody lies.

PRAISE FOR LIARS:
'I loved it. Intriguing, genuinely mysterious and authentic. Such a well-told story, so surprising and rewarding. I honestly couldn't put it down. If you only read one book this year, make it this.' WIL ANDERSON

I quit listening after an hour. To say this book is repetitive is an understatement. In the first hour, 27 sentences started with Email from and another 35 sentences started with text from, excerpt from, letter from etc. It got so annoying I couldn't listen any longer. There weren't any face-to-face conversations.

Just reading reports and letters back and forth - terribly confusing and creates listening fatique

I really enjoyed this book abit usually at first but worth continuing the characters were easy to relate too and I didn’t work out who did it until the end easy to listen too

The reading of the emails back and forth was a bit odd at first, but I related it to the way an investigator has to piece together events from such matter. Once the narrative started, it really drew the reader in. Very intriguing and well thought out!

The first few chapters are a series of extracts from email, text etc and is pretty dull. Was about to quit but so glad I persisted. You soon get into the story and characters, Barb is great. Loads of lovely blind alleys and red herrings, as soon as you’re sure you have it sussed…… well worth sticking with it.

Hard to get into. Only reason I continued was because I’d paid for it. About the end of chapter 3 there was finally a story to listen to. It starts with “reading emails” which, for me, was terribly boring and uninteresting. The ultimate story was good.
