Just Another Liar
by Mandy Byatt
Anna is a teacher. Her long-time boyfriend has left her for good. She is heartbroken and wants to get him or get over him. She moves towns knowing that her ex is there too. Will her love life improve in this new place?
Denise is stuck at home looking after an invalid and verbally abusive mother. Her fiance left her after her mother had a stroke and she has a non-existent love life now.
Petra is married to Sam. She has had a miscarriage recently and cannot get over it. She logs on to a dating site just for the novelty of the whole thing.
David Kingfisher is a paediatric surgeon. He has a swank BMW and lives in a lovely home. He has looks to die for. But does he? Or is that just what he tells Anna, Denise, and Petra over the dating app?
David Kingfisher has now disappeared after taking money off Denise and Petra. And these three women have to come together to find him. So who is David Kingfisher? And why did he lie?
This was slow in the beginning but gained speed eventually. I listened to the audiobook and thought that three different narrators would have done more justice to the three leads.
I guessed the mystery at around midway point but that didn't take away from the listening. I really liked Denise too and gratifyingly, her character had a good arc. Anna and Petra, not so much.
There were a few plotholes in the end though the story tied up most of them well.
Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins UK Audio for the audio ARC.
