Who Is the Liar

How it reads

Who Is the Liar is mystery (experimental psychological mystery, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in several locations, in the present day, told in the first person by several narrators. Its central concerns are secrets, identity and justice. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending is left open, for you to argue about. At 283 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
