A reporter for the Chicago Tribune (Rita Polansky) masquerades as a client with a liar husband. Rita retains Cat, a private detective, to follow Chance Savino, a guy with a pocketful of smuggled diamonds. After an explosion, the FBI claims Savino was killed in the fireworks but Cat isn’t buying it. When her client fails to show for a scheduled meeting, Cat finds her at home with a knife in her chest. Sounds good, but is not a great murder mystery. In Larsen’s mystery novel, private investigator Cat DeLuca knows just how to nail a cheating husband. After all, Chance Savino, her ex, taught her all about deceit and untrustworthiness. But when he is supposedly killed during an explosion, no one believes Cat when she insists he’s alive and up to his tricks again. Then when Rita Savino is found dead, threats soon follow and Cat finds herself dodging hit men, the FBI, cops, and even the mob. To survive this, Cat will need to turn to her family and her new partner to find the truth before someone else turns up dead.A great installment to the A Cat DeLuca Mystery series.
What do You think about Liar, Liar (2010)?
Your average, funny li'l crime story. Felt like an Evanovich wannabe, but entertaining nonetheless!

Funny and sassy! As good as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series!
