Sunday Salon: Liars and Stalkers

There are a lot of liars in mystery and suspense titles these days. Here are three that I've recently finished and liked.

The Truth Behind the Lie by Sara Lovestam

Published August 27, 2019, Minotaur

Genre: mystery set in Sweden
Source: library book

An unusual private investigator, a young Iranian illegal immigrant in Sweden, tries to help a single mother Pernilla find her missing six-year-old daughter. The investigator, in spite of being impoverished and alone, himself in hiding, goes to unusual lengths using persistence, keen observation, and an analytical mind, to solve the mystery.

Well developed characters and a well planned story using a struggling immigrant in Europe as a main character made this a very interesting read.

I've also read:

The Liar's Child by Carla Buckley

The Lying Room by Nicci French
