Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson
4.0

This book was such a good combo of Gosford Park and The Secret History! The mystery was very much my vibe and I loved the concept of this close knit group of 90’s college students in a country house mystery. I also loved Stevie’s subplot in London. I just love London so much and reading this book made me miss it so deeply. This is the fourth Maureen Johnson book I’ve read set in London and I loved all the little nods to previous books. She writes about London so well. As I was reflecting on Maureen Johnson’s writing, I realized I’ve never read a book by her where I’ve actually shipped the main couple. There is always something awkward and off about her romances, including David in this one. Which is why I can’t give it 5 stars.
