Blog Tour And Book Review Of “Once A Liar” By A.F. Brady @TLCBookTours @HarperCollins #ParkrowBooks
From the author of The Blind comes an electrifying story of deception, duplicity and suspense
Peter Caine, a cutthroat Manhattan defense attorney, is extremely adept at his job. On the surface, he is charming and handsome, but inside he is cold and heartless. A sociopath practically incapable of human emotions, he has no remorse when he fights to acquit murderers, pedophiles and rapists.
When Charlie Doyle, the daughter of the Manhattan DA—and Peter’s former lover—is murdered, Peter’s world is quickly sent into a tailspin as the DA, a professional enemy of Peter’s, embarks on a witch hunt to avenge his daughter’s death, stopping at nothing to ensure Peter is found guilty of the murder.
Peter sets out to prove his innocence, and as he pieces together his defense, he finds that it’s those closest to us who are capable of the greatest harm.
Thank you TLC Book Tours and Park Row Books for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
I rate this book a 3 out of 5 Stars.
I enjoyed this book, he had me confused as all get out during certain parts, but I think that is what I enjoyed most. For me, it’s is extremely rare that a book can grab me, and hold my attention throughout the whole book. Most books, much like this one, don’t really grab my attention until the 50% mark. I’m not sure why that is, but with almost every book I read, the first half drags for me. That’s not a knock against the Author, it’s more so a knock against me.
I did appreciate the small town boy, becomes big important city man, who is faced to make decisions and to figure out what lines he is willing to cross. I also like the “Then” and “Now” alternating chapters, and the way Brady built up the tension between the two, so I was excited to get back to each of them, and pick up where they had left off. I do have Brady’s last published book “Blind” and I am excited to get to that one.
