Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin – Review by Shea Gilkerson 10/17/23

Liar, Liar by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We are back in the Eider police department, this time following the story of Sheriff Shane Hamilton following his “just barely” win of the election. On top of the win causing blowback, Sheriff Hamilton is dealing with two homicides and multiple cases of arson. Add the work stressors rising to the distraction of a personal anniversary, he is wanting nothing more than a bit of time to sort his feelings and emotions regarding it all.

Unfortunately, FBI agent Liza Bartholomew appears in that same time frame on a tip that a scam artist she has been pursuing for years has been spotted there. Liza has a history with Eider, and coming back was never in her plan. With a thirst for vengeance on behalf of the victims and racing to protect her career, Liza refuses to let the town sheriff hold her back, no matter what he may stir in her. When they realize their cases are connected, they have to decide to work together, in spite of their feelings on relationships and their chemistry, as well as the high stress cases and Liza ending up back in Eider.

Really have enjoyed the Eider PD series, the characters are likeable, the suspense is palpable, the writing is compelling and keeps you flipping the pages. There’s romance, danger, trauma, some steam, bad guys and the good ones who pursue them.
