But, thankfully, none of them are overtly obvious (which is the sign of a good mystery, if you ask me). I am SO GLAD that not everything in this book is a lie, although…Â heh…Â almost ALL of it is.Â There are red herrings all over the place.

Yup, in this case they actually speak the truth in the blurb, even though the book is about a bunch of big, fat liars. Terrifying clues that point to Max as the murderer.Ĭan Max find the real killer before he goes to prison for a crime he didnât commit? In a story that Kirkus Reviews called 'Captivating to the very end,' Paula Stokes starts with one single white lie and weaves a twisted tale that will have readers guessing until the explosive final chapters.Īn outstanding suspense thriller/mystery that actually did have me guessing until the very end (as promisedÂ in the book summary above). Then the evidence starts to pile upâterrifying clues that lead the cops to Prestonâs body. When Preston wants his own cover story to go visit a girl he met online, Max doesnât think twice about hooking him up. Suddenly everybody needs something and the cash starts pouring in. With the help of his friends Preston and Parvati, Max starts Liars, Inc. Max Cantrell has never been a big fan of the truth, so when the opportunity arises to sell forged permission slips and cover stories to his classmates, it sounds like a good way to make a little money and liven up a boring senior year. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
