Carla Buckley The Liar's Child Lies, Secrets, and Child Neglect...

The Liar's Child by author Carla Buckley is a sometimes confusing mystery. Everyone seems to have a secret or they are living a lie. It was hard to like the adult characters in the book. Sara Lennox is being transferred to North Carolina to live as part of the witness protection program while waiting to testify in a trial. She negotiated an arrangement to be a witness and avoid going to prison. She has her own ideas for her future and is waiting for the perfect timing to implement her plan which may allow her to escape from Paradise.
Whit Nelson is a hotel manager who lives at the Paradise apartments with his family. Cassie, the twelve-year-old daughter has perfected the art of escaping the apartment by jumping between the buildings, from their balcony to the next door balcony. Boon, the five-year-old narrowly escaped death after being left in a hot car by his mother. Diane Nelson has gone missing and everyone seems to think it is another one of her disappearing episodes.
The story weaves an interesting tale of how the lives of strangers can intersect at just the right timing to cause life-changing choices. When an unexpected hurricane blows in and hits the outer banks, choices become very limited!
