The Good Liar by author Catherine McKenzie hooks your interest from the start! It begins with Cecily Grayson giving her account of trying to reach the building for a meeting with her husband, Tom. What she sees is horrible, and then an explosion, her husband Tom is in that building!
Then the book skips forward a year and Cecily is meeting with the Teo Jackson, a film producer who is making a documentary about three families impacted by the October tenth explosion and the drastic changes in the lives of these particular survivors.
As you read further, you meet the Rings, a family who lost a wife and mother, Kaitlyn. The Rings are friends of the Graysons. Kaitlyn worked for Tom Grayson's company and was in the building during the explosion.
The third person the documentary focuses on is Frannie Maycombe, a young woman who comes forward and petitions to be involved with the Compensation Initiative for the families who are to be recompensed for their financial loss due to the untimely death of a spouse, mother, or father. Frannie shocks everyone at Kaitlyn's funeral reception by announcing she is a daughter Kaitlyn had as a teenager and was given up for adoption. She was to have met and been reunited with her biological mother before the explosion happened.
I won't post spoilers because nothing is exactly as it seems. You must read the first person accounts and memories of what has happened prior to the October tenth explosion in each of these families!
The author has written an intricate story of events and choices which have interlaced these lives forever. It is a mystery which rises to a suspenseful ending. Just remember, each person has a reason to lie!
