Reviewed by Sandra Wurman
This is a story about disappointment, disappointing and ultimately betraying. The Liar, by the masterful storyteller Nora Roberts could very well be my all-time favorite by one of my very favorite authors. Roberts has a way of fashioning a story that is ingenious to say the least. The Liar is broken up into parts. Each part is actually a tier in the story. Kind of like life has tiers or moments. If you can survive that moment and move on coming out ahead of the fray then you will be okay.
The Liar is about family. No one does family better than Roberts. And needless to say to any of her fans the dialog is true and at times heartbreakingly real. The Liar is like no other book I've read and I am pretty certain Roberts fans will agree.
If you want to meet one of the best families look no further than the McNee/Pomeroy clan. Their dialog will have you laughing out loud. Their closeness and devotion will have you dripping in envy. And their tenacity and strength is awe inspiring. In actuality this clan is quite ordinary and small town by anyone's definition. What sets them apart is their amazing drive while keeping true to their southern roots.
Roots -- such an important commodity especially in a world where people drift away from their hometowns, their friends and most unfortunately their heart -- their family.
Shelby was pursuing her dream of a career as a singer. She was young, impressionable and most important in love. When she met her husband Richard she thought this was the man she would spend her life with. As family had always been so much a part of her life she looked forward to starting one of her own with Richard.
In just a fleeting moment Shelby's life was forever altered. Left as a young widow with her young daughter Callie, Shelby had to access her life. She never guessed the nightmare she was cast in. Around every corner were doubts concerning this lifestyle her husband cultivated. It seemed to be all smoke and mirrors.
Being married to Richard hadn't been easy but his death was becoming a devastating nightmare. Shelby knew that ultimately she needed to turn to her family and that meant going home to Rendezvous Ridge.
Home to her amazing family and that's where she meets Griffith a man who made her feel good about herself something her husband never did. Where Richard was intent on belittling Griff was becoming her champion and greatest fan. Shelby was unhappy that she so obviously needed to rely on her family and now Griff. And even worse her nightmare of a life with Richard didn't end with his death. Richard was a cheat and a liar and now his exploits were putting Shelby and Callie in danger.
Imagine waking up and discovering that the man you were married to had a totally separately life. With every page in The Liar, Nora Roberts keeps the reader questioning what has already been established. The Liar is a study in opposites. Generations of a family built on love, honestly and support versus a life built on lies. Love can make you blind to a person's faults. Love can give you a better sense of who you are -- who you want to be. The Liar will just blow you away. The Liar is a well written page turner that keeps you glued to the book.
