Three Perfect Liars
by Heidi Perks
Laura, Mia, and Janie are all connected by an advertising agency, Morris & Wood. Laura has just returned after 6 months maternity leave. Mia, the temp who covered for her, is now working there full-time and seems after Laura’s job. Janie’s husband, Harry, owns the company. When a fire that is considered arson burns the ad agency to the ground, secrets that all three ladies have been hiding will eventually come out.
This book had such a great premise that I was really excited to read it. I struggled getting into it though. The book alternates through the three ladies perspectives as well as police interviews after the fire. I did like the alternating points of view because you got to see how the three ladies perceived each other. All three ladies are unreliable narrators which makes sense with the title.
I started this book in August and then put it on hold for a bit because I just couldn’t get into it. I wanted to love it, but it just moved so slowly. Once I picked it back up determined to finish it, I still felt the pace was so slow. I kept wondering if it would ever end. With that said, I was still intrigued to see how it would all play out.
Mia was my favorite of the three liars. I found her story the most interesting and kept reading to see what really brought her to Morris & Wood. Laura got on my nerves a lot. Too much of the book focused on her jealousy and obsession with Mia. Janie was just kind of there until the party scene where we start to get a better understanding of her. All three of these ladies had a reason to start the fire so the author did a good job of keeping her readers guessing.
There is a bit of a twist at the end which I didn’t see coming. The problem is that it didn’t really wow me. I like my jaw to drop at a surprise ending, but I was just like “oh, ok”.
Although this book wasn’t really for me, I have read other reviews of people who loved it so please take that to heart when deciding to read this.
