Such Charming Liars by Karen M. McManus
Thank you to Puffin Books and Netgalley for the advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Such Charming Liars follows main character Kat, all her life it has just been her and her mother Jamie except for the 48 hours where Jamie was married and she had a step-brother Liam.
Now Jamie is a jewel thief working one last job before going straight. That last job being a massive heist at a billionaires mansion where Kat has found a way to tag along. The last two people they expect to see are Liam and his father who is a scammer with his sights set on Ross's daughter.
When a Sutherland dies on site the night of the party Kat and Liam are thrown together trying to get out of the killers crosshairs. They can't trust anyone except each other. Or can they as the one thing they have both learnt is how to lie.
Another strong YA mystery thriller from McManus that leaves you guessing and then second guessing right up until the end.
The books plot is incredibly smart and well thought through right up until the end. I was a fan of the multiple perspectives we were given from both Kat and Liam throughout the story. However for a trained from a young age thief Kat does make a fair few mistakes that leave you thinking why. I get it it drives the plot.
The characters were all fleshed out really well and you came to a understanding for most of them how they are where they are with the background they have had.
Overall a fantastically crafted YA mystery thriller. A joy to read and I can't wait to read more from Karen M. McManus.
