“The Liar’s Child” by Carla Buckley

“The Liar’s Child” by Carla Buckley

Sara Lennox has left her past behind and relocated to the Paradise apartments on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. She quickly finds herself having random encounters with the kids who live next door and their father. As a hurricane approaches, Sara realizes the kids are alone, their father can’t be found, and she has to get herself and the kids off the island. Now what?

This is not a mystery in the traditional sense, but it is a thriller that centers around a family drama that the reader won’t fully understand until the end. I found the story to be more and more captivating as I got further and further into it. None of the characters are candidates for sainthood and the lot of them could keep a whole office full of therapists busy for months, but I still found them engaging and felt compelled to find out what had happened to them. One of my favorite parts was the driving in the hurricane. The descriptions were so vivid that reading it was like being in the car with them. I was just completely engrossed in this story from beginning to end and I think everybody else should read it too!
