LIAR'S KEY is the sixth in the Sharpe & Donovan series by
action filled writer Carla Neggers. This installment centers
around FBI agent Emma Sharpe, a retired agent who gets to
close to the fire by the name of Gordy Wheelock, a cat
burglar, a heist with hints of terrorism, and, last but not
least, a wedding.
As Emma heads to Maine to meet her fiancee, Colin Donovan,
she begins to investigate. Colin is FBI and recently
finished an undercover assignment. He is tired but needs to
spend some time catching up on his rest and planning a
special honeymoon for Emma after their upcoming wedding.
Colin and Emma bring the romantic theme to this story of
murder, lies, and betrayals.
Oliver York is my favorite character. English, and
brazen, he is a cat burgler who never got caught and will
never be prosecuted. Charming, good at changing any subject
he has no wish to talk about, he added a lot to this tale.
Carla Neggers writes a suspenseful and interesting book with
a look into antiquities and mosaics. LIAR'S KEY begins in
Boston, heads to Ireland and ends up on the beautiful rocky
coast of Maine. The build up of the plot is a bit slow for
me, but the ending was good and the murderer a surprise. Is
their story going to continue in the next
series? A good read once more by Carla Neggers.
