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

Critic Reviews
'a knotty thriller that layers crime upon crime, much like a club sandwich or a lasagne ... a terrific whodunnit. Read this if you like some cosiness to your crime books but also a chance to flex your deductive skills!' (Julia Jackson)
'a good cosy mystery for those who enjoy small town crime and "down-to-earth" amateur detectives' (Jeff Popple)
'[A] riveting saga of small-town lies and deceit ... Liars, much like Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, touches on some serious issues but with warmth and humour' (Katy Briggs)
'An Aussie murder mystery with appealing characters'
'Liars is a ripper of a murder mystery that's got humour, nuance, and relatable characters in spades.'
'Intriguing and mysterious, this is a crime novel that is full of surprises.' (Karen McMillan)
