Liar: An Irene Kelly Mystery

Rating:
Summary: well written, interesting and very detailed
Review: This is a very interesting, exciting story involving Irene's family and friends. I have read all of the Irene novels and they seem to get better and better. There is a degree of humour in Liar which made me burst out laughing in parts. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next Irene Kelly story.

Rating:
Summary: too long - too confusing
Review: While I read Goodnight Irene and enjoyed it, this novel was just a little too long and just a little too confusing. There were too many characters. I had trouble keeping track of brothers, in-laws, nephews, etc. I found myself trying to finish this book as a pain, not a pleasure. I think I will read the next "Bones", hoping that Burke has tightened up her act a little. Don't give me 400 pages when 350 would do just as well. Karen Kirsch - Novi, MI
