Books on Tour - The Liars House by Carla Kovach

Today I am very excited to be taking part in Bookouture's Books on Tour to celebrate Carla Kovach's fourth novel, The Liar's House.

Samantha stumbled out of the party and on to a busy street only ten minutes away from her home. But she never made it home… 

Seven years after Samantha’s disappearance, on what would have been her thirty-fifth birthday, her best friend Diane is shocked to find a letter addressed to Samantha on her doorstep.

Opening the envelope, Diane pulls out a birthday card and a finger nail painted in dusky pink nail polish. The same shade Samantha always wore. The same shade she was wearing the night she went missing.

When police analyse the nail, they don’t get the result they expected. Instead of linking them to Samantha, the nail belongs to another woman, Jade Ashmore. And Jade was murdered the night before the envelope was delivered….

THE COMPLETELY ADDICTIVE NEW CRIME THRILLER FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR CARLA KOVACH – if you love Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, you’ll love The Liar’s House. Gripping from the first page – you won’t be able to put it down. 

The Liar's House is the fourth novel in Carla Kovach's popular series featuring Detective Gina Harte and I believe that this is the best so far!

Carla writes fantastic reads, which she delivers in short, fast paced chapters. Drawing the reader in, she does not let go until the very end - hence me reading this in a short period of time. Carla captures the fear and urgency of the case's victims and investigating team perfectly and this all adds to the atmosphere of the book.

The book does cover the sensitive subject of domestic abuse however Carla tackles it with tact and sensitivity and is a book that may make readers look at their friends and colleagues to spot the signs of this ever increasing taboo subject.

Although this is the fourth book in a series, it could be read as a standalone, however I believe in order to understand DI Harte and her persona it is best to read them in order.

I am already looking forward to Carla's fifth novel and definitely recommend The Liar's House to all my readers, especially those who love police procedural novels. 

Thank you to Bookouture for inviting me to take part in the Books on Tour blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

Carla Kovach is taking part in a Meet the Authors event at The Hive, Worcester on Thursday 17th October with Sue Watson and Sheryl Browne. A great oppurtunity to meet local authors at the fantastic city centre venue - our beautiful library.
