Sister, Liar, Suspect, Sleuth by Lisa Nicholas
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.0
What I love about cosy crime books is that they are so often completely bonkers, a bunch of amateur sleuths putting two and two together and coming up with 27. The other thing I love is that they are so totally implausible, real escape from reality fiction. And Sister, Liar, Suspect, Sleuth definitely fits into that category, so of course I loved it. At times there was almost too much going on, the search for Mila’s killer and children, the scandal surrounding Fabien and the search for the truth about his father's death, but it all came right in the end.
The writing was perfect for this genre. I really felt like we got to know the characters, odd as many of them were. I instantly disliked Chloe, I don't know why though, she just annoyed me.
I think Lisa has done a really good job of capturing how difficult it must be for refugees coming here too. The feeling of not really fitting in, and people being nice to your face whilst also thinking you shouldn't be here.
Overall, this was a fun, cosy mystery read which is just what I needed on a chilly Sunday afternoon.
