A review by darlings
The King of Lies by John Hart

4.0

I really liked this one. My mom gave it to me, and, despite the dubious title (which my boss has adopted as a nickname) it is a tight, well-written mystery. Flaws: the dialogue was occasionally trite and the ending was obvious to me by the time I got two thirds into the novel, which is a red flag because I'm never able to guess where mysteries are going. Despite its flaws, it is a very quick, accesible, entertaining, and satisfying read for a weekend at the beach.
