Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-10 00:00:00 Ron Suriyopas Because I know a ton of writers, and I like to support their efforts, I often buy books which are not really my own particular genre or taste. I never regret it because we all need all the support we can get in this business...but every once in awhile, I get this fabulous surprise in a package that I don't really expect to like. Just such a gift is Patry Francis's "The Liar's Diary" which is touted as a "seductive psychological thriller" and a murder mystery. (not my cup of tea) Except! Except! IT IS!! This cleanly written, suspense-laden little gem had me up half the night and unable to put it down all day today. It's just twisty and turny, SO well written, and while you know you're "doing" a murder mystery, you get so much character study and expert writing that you simply get the lost in the art of it, and keep turning those pages as fast as you can! Wonderful! I had a great read with this book and would recommend it to anyone who thinks they don't care for this particular genre. And it's a MUST for those of you who like the head-scratching who dunnits! What a present. Thank you, Patry!!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-03-21 00:00:00 Leslee Gunter I had a difficult time with this book. It had twists and turns and beautiful writing, but then the twist near the end felt like it belonged on Lifetime and I wanted to throw it across the room. Then I thought about it a few hours later. Then a few days later. It started to dawn on me that even though the ending had initially felt contrived, it wasn't. It was damned near perfect. And now, two weeks later, I'm still mulling over it. I guess that's a clear sign that it was worth the read.
