Liars All, Aug 12 2010
By Jenni French - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Liars All: A Brodie Farrell Mystery (Hardcover)
A tragic car accident. A missing necklace. A local mobster. An infant with an incurable disease. This book has enough twists and sub-plots to keep anyone's brain whirring. This mystery was more interesting than Laughed 'Till He Died. I enjoyed the British setting and the twists in the plot, especially toward the end. Many authors, myself included, have a wretched end game. It is very difficult to write the last chapter of a book - the problems are all solved, the characters are well-known, all the loose ends are tied up. But this book had a satisfying ending, and not one that dragged out long after the denouement, either. I will probably see if the public library has any more books by this author.

This review is from: Liars All: A Brodie Farrell Mystery (Hardcover)
Another in the outstanding Brodie Farrell series - the characters are so intricately drawn and human - you won't be able to put it down.

Time to End This Series, Jun 13 2010
By Jandsarah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Liars All: A Brodie Farrell Mystery (Hardcover)
This series seems to have run its course. The characters in the earlier books, especially Brodie Farrell, were refreshing and the plots captured the reader's interest. Sadly, the characters have become intensely self-centered and endlessly self-analytical (especially that pseudo-saintly bore Daniel Hood) while the who-done-it tension is almost nonexistent. I did finish Liars All in the hope that it somehow would improve as the pages turned but no such luck.
