Once you start, you are held captive for a wild ride of non-stop suspense and action until the end slams into you, leaving you blinking in stunned disbelief. These books are always over too quickly and always leave you hungry for\u00a0more.<\/p>\n<p>After the stunning conclusion of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktopia.com.au\/fifty-fifty-james-patterson\/prod9781780897110.html?utm_source=booktopian_blog&amp;utm_medium=booktopian&amp;utm_campaign=liar_liar\">Fifty Fifty<\/a>,<\/em> Harry has gone rogue. Looking for vengeance, she&#8217;s on a mission to hunt down the serial killer Regan Banks. When she catches him, she has no intention of bringing him to justice. Instead, she plans to end him. Regan Banks deserves to die and Harry is\u00a0determined to ensure he gets <em>exactly<\/em> what he deserves.<\/p>\n<p>And so begins an epic game of cat and mouse as Harry hunts Banks, while Banks\u00a0taunts Harry at every turn &#8230;\u00a0meanwhile the police are in pursuit of them both.<\/p>\n<p>This book is\u00a0fraught with near unbearable tension, and things get very dark and scary at times. Opening with a tragic and terrible act of violence, readers are propelled on a frantic chase towards a real game-changer of an ending.\u00a0I am so very keen for the next book in this series &#8211; I just wish I could dive into it straight away. Without giving away any spoilers, I will say that the ending of <em>Liar Liar<\/em> sets thing up for a pretty spectacular fourth book.<\/p>\n<p>As a huge fan of Harry Blue, I loved this book and relished each and every moment with this brash, ballsy, violent, foul tempered protagonist. I was also delighted to catch up with other favourite characters like Tox Barnes and\u00a0Edward (Whitt) Whittaker.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0is a great new addition to one of my favourite crime series and I really cannot recommend it highly enough. \u00a0Gripping, shocking, fast-paced and fun &#8211; <em>Liar Liar<\/em>\u00a0is another pitch-perfect page-turner from James Patterson and Candice Fox.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready for the next one please!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktopia.com.au\/liar-liar-james-patterson\/prod9780143787471.html?utm_source=booktopian_blog&amp;utm_medium=booktopian&amp;utm_campaign=liar_liar\">Click here to order your copy of <em>Liar Liar<\/em> by James Patterson and Candice Fox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>And don&#8217;t miss our podcast\u00a0with\u00a0the amazing Candice Fox when she came in to talk to us about Liar Liar (and that time she met a serial killer and a former American President in the same day!)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/479420514&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liar Liar Detective Harriet Blue # 3 by James Patterson &amp; Candice Fox The Detective Harriet Blue series continues to get better and better with each new book.
