The Liar's Child by Carla Buckley
Published March 12, 2019, Ballantine Books
Source; library book
Genre: suspense
The suspense novel is about more than one liar and more than one child; the book is intriguing and holds your interest throughout. One or two threads of the plot are left dangling, in my opinion, but overall, this was quite a good thriller. The focus is on a missing parent, and on missing children as well as parents who may or may not be to blame. A four star read for plot and child and adolescent characterization.

Wouldn't it be fun to get in at the beginning of a series, like you are with Death in the Family. The Liar's Child looks interesting, too. Winter seems like a good time to read suspenseful books.
