Liar Liar
A Nicole Graves Mystery #3
by Nancy Boyarsky
Synopsis
Nicole Graves finds herself in the crosshairs when she reluctantly agrees to babysit a witness in a high-profile rape trial. Mary Ellen Barnes is suing her university’s star quarterback for rape when the authorities won’t act. In the court of public opinion, Mary Ellen appears to be the quintessential, pious, good girl. But her lies and mysterious comings and goings lead Nicole to suspect that she’s not what she seems.
Read an Excerpt
Later, Nicole would ponder the truth and its illusive nature. She’d realize how many lies people would tell to protect themselves from it. And, worst of all, how many she herself would tell to get at it. She’d always considered herself a truthful person. Yet she’d find herself lying to others, to her fiancé, and even to herself.
She’d wonder if there was such a thing as the actual truth. Or was truth relative, the product of incomplete or faulty memories, or the limitations of the observer? How often was the truth tainted by what an individual wanted, or needed, to believe?
On this bright day in mid-March, Nicole stepped into the United Terminal at LAX and encountered a situation she could hardly believe. It was as if she’d slipped back in time to the previous year when the media was stalking her. This morning, they were massed in a corner of baggage claim. After the initial shock of seeing them, she noticed they weren’t looking in her direction, hadn’t noticed her at all. They were waiting for someone else, someone they expected to come down the escalator from the arrival gates.

This book sounds like a fantastic read.
I know. I’m getting curious:)
Thanks for you comment, Debbie.
Hoping you’re intrigued enough to dive into Liar Liar. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.
Thanks for hosting!
I’m happy to share!
It is important to highlight this subject.
I think so too!
It is indeed. Oddly enough, I started Liar Liar well before #MeToo got rolling, based on headlines from a very messy he-said, she-said case at a local college. Writing it was a real adventure, and I learned a lot on the way. Thank you for your comment.
Tremendously important, especially this week. But you’ll also find lighter elements to the plot, as well as suspense.
I agree it does look a great read !
Sounds intriguing and I love the cover.
Thanks for your comment. In case you don’t recognize it, the scene is the iconic Santa Monica Pier at night. Even during the day, the area under the pier is dark and spooky, and this is where the victim is found. Hope that really intrigues you.
That’s a thick atmosphere. Like the damp,earthy smell under a low bridge. Yes, it intrigues:)
Thanks for your comment.
On behalf of Light Messages, thank you for hosting this stop on our virtual book tour!
It’s my pleasure to share! Thanks for stopping in.
Sounds like a good read.
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for this great feature. What a talented author. This novel sounds enthralling.
I appreciate your response, Anne. Hope you find Liar Liar entertaining but also enlightening about an issue that is currently causing a lot of discussion.
Laura: I want to thank you for running this post and introducing new readers to the latest installment of the Nicole Graves Mysteries.
I get a lot of pleasure out of discovering new authors and their books and sharing about it with friends. Glad to have you here:)
Now, I’m curious. Is she good or bad?
Thanks for the question. Nicole is the heroine, so that means (at least to me) that she’s a good person.
It’s always the good and quiet ones who hide something Laura! 😉
Good point. Nicole is hiding things, but for the best of reasons. You’ll see.
I really liked the excerpt from the book. Sounds like a great read.
Thanks. I had a lot of fun writing it!
