Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson
3.0
This was the third Lisa Jackson book that I have read, but the others were read years ago, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, this book was just as mediocre as the other two books that I read.
Part 1 of the book was to set up the story line that Didi Scott, presumably committed suicide. After witnessing what seemed to be her mother's suicide, Remmi Scott was transported back to 20 years earlier, when she was 15 years old, and witnessed her mother selling, Ariel, one of the twin babies her mother had. During that sale, a car blows up, someone is shot, and Didi Scott is terrified. Remmi tries to get her mother to admit to the baby selling scam, but Didi won't, claiming she will take care of everything. Didi's friend and midwife, Seneca, disappears with the other twin, Adam.
Fast forward 20 years, and Remmi needs to find out if that was really her mother who committed suicide. She meets with the cops, and it all seems to revolve around a book that was recently published about Didi Scott and her career as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator.
The novel is rambling at times, and the story is too neatly wrapped up. There are way too many coincidences, too many close calls, and too many unbelievable situations. The story was quite predictable. Quite a disappointment.
The only saving grace of the book in my opinion was that I liked Remmi and her friend, Noah Scott.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
