Detective Nicole Lawson has a Valentine’s Day date for the first time in years only to be stood up by the man she’s been seeing. Having to show up at a scene with a body in her date clothes, walking across the sand in her Jimmy Choos’, is just the cherry on top of her crappy evening. What starts off as a suspected suicide quickly gets ruled as a homicide, sending the Lost Beach Police Department scrambling to preserve whatever evidence they can.
As Nicole starts questioning witnesses, more questions arise than answers. Detective Emmet Davis, Nicole’s secret long-time crush and her work rival, is made the lead in the homicide case, and together they try to figure out what the witness is holding back. When she’s almost run down, followed by another body dropping, Nicole finds herself on her own, working a theory no one else believes in. Now with her relationship with Emmet changing, she’s going to have to figure out who’s targeting her before it's too late.
Laura Griffin finally gives us Emmet and Nicole’s story in LIAR’S POINT. These two have been circling each other for a while in the Texas Murder File series and the undercurrents have been smoking. From the first chapter, Griffin weaves a complex tale full of murders and mystery and then throws in a smoldering romance to top things off. The way the mystery unfolds, I don’t think anyone can see the motive behind the murders or predict what’s coming next. There are also updates on characters from other books in the series and it’s always fun to see what previous favorites are now up to. For fans of really good romantic suspense, LIAR’S POINT should be your next read, though I recommend you binge the entire series.
