Perfect Liars: Perfect for fans of HBO’s hit TV series Big Little Lies

I enjoyed Rebecca Reid’s compelling debut novel Perfect Liars.

Perfect Liars is a thoroughly satisfying character driven psychological thriller. It’s cleverly plotted and clear from the beginning, despite being paced on the slow side, that it is a compelling tale.

The characters are somewhat unlikeable in that they are typical stereotypical pretentious, entitled, self-centered women. The story is told using a dual timeline, past and present. Whilst they display a close friendship to the world it is deeply flawed.

There are certain parts of the storyline that I felt were a little too unbelievable and that is why this does not get a full five stars from me.

A fantastic debut by Rebecca Reid and I very much look forward to whatever she comes up with next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this novel at this time.

Brutal, thrilling, gripping drama based on the 'Peaky Blinders' who were a gang, using razor blades sewn into the peaks of their caps, specifically to slash any body who crossed them. (2 more)
Great attention to detail, brilliant sets and the quality of the acting is of the highest standard.
The direction of this series, has been done to create a totally compelling series.

When Aaron is asked to clear a young man with Asperger Syndrome, he can't say no. The police do have a pretty compelling case, can Aaron prove he is innocent? The sub-plots threaten to take over at times, but the humor and characters kept me quickly turning pages.
