Laura Griffin is an auto-buy for me, and Liar’s Point exemplifies why.. The final installment of her 5-book Texas Murder Files romantic suspense series, L.P. Is the long teased story of two secondary characters in the series, Nicole and Emmett. These two detectives are co-workers and, to some extent, competitors as they’ve risen up their department’s ranks. She’s been longing for him throughout the series, and now we finally get to see what he’s been thinking about her, and it’s pretty steamy! The story includes a lot of opportunities to revisit H/h couples from prior books as their relationships and families have grown. The progression of characters’ lives as time passes between books is one of the things Griffin does best, and she’s in top form here showing dynamics of prior H/h couples’ families juggling kids and busy full-time jobs. The suspense plots have to work for a book in this genre to be enjoyable, and this too is one of the author’s strengths. I’m usually really good at figuring out who the murderer is, but I never know with Griffin — I find out when the detectives do. There are surprises throughout, including danger to the characters to keep us on our toes. We also get to learn more about two prior background characters who have prominent roles here — the pathologist Dr. Bauhaus and the previously absent brother of the Breda family, attorney Alex Breda. Fans will recall when Nicole met the pathologist in an earlier book, when she attended her first autopsy as a detective and barfed on his shoes. Alex has been mentioned in prior books but never appeared, Turns out he’s a very intriguing character who I hope will be featured in a future story.. Griffin is probably best known for her Tracers series, which I reread every couple of years. I’ve enjoyed this series as much and consider this a regular reread as well. I hate to see this series end, but hope we can revisit them periferally in future books.. Can’t wait to see what the next series will be!

Read almost entirely in one sitting. The characters are engaging and well thought out. It's the perfect mix if romance and suspense. This is the first book read by this author, but it won't be my last. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC copy :)

This can. However stand on its own

Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Surely someone's going to make an adaptation of The Texas Murder Files for television soon! Each book unfolds like a made-for-TV movie. The action, adventure, and romantic chemistry are book perfection! Griffin's talent for storytelling is unmatched and as always, I can't wait for more.

Detective Nicole Lawson teamed up with her rival and secret crush, Emmet Davis, to solve a couple of crimes. One, a suspected suicide, the other, an auto accident. But are things not quite what they seem to be? Nicole sees a pattern but no one else does and no one else wants to follow her theory. One witness isn’t revealing all she knows. Can the team solve the crimes before there are any other murders?

Power, greed, suspense, drama, secrets, and more!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I always love Laura’s books, they never disappoint. Her books always blend romance and mystery into stories you can’t put done. Detective Nicole Lawson is all about the job, at the expense of life outside work. The latest case brings out her drive to succeed and maybe even to find that person meant for her.

This one did not disappoint! Laura Griffin nailed yet another romantic suspense. Lots of action and mystery thrown in with a friends to lovers story make this a must read. I’ve yet to pick up a book by Laura Griffin not finish it in a single sitting.

The latest installment in the Texas Murder Files series sees an early murder staged to look like a suicide. The action in the book takes a turn as the team begins to investigate the homicide but realize they are behind before even getting started We get a lot of police procedure and frustration stemming from the fact that they did not realize it was a murder. Nicole and Emmet from their first scene together spark fires off each other. Their competitiveness, banter and friendship do not mask they palpable chemistry of this couple. I did get a little frustrated when Emmet tried to sideline Nicole. He may have been doing it because he cared but to a woman that kind of move makes a woman feel like she is being treated different than men.
The book title “Liar’s Point” is a nice play on the lighthouse name and hints that everything you believe about this case is a lie. The action is a little light in the first half of the book but the entire story picks up with Nicole’s injury. In fact, her injury changes the complexion of the second half of the story for both the case and the relationships. We finally learn and I will not give too much away what might be behind the murders and other trouble in the town. The revelation sets up the couple for the next story which should be interesting.
I mostly enjoyed the book but thought it might have been a little too long. As I said above, the second half of the book was more action packed than the first but overall worth reading.
Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Fairly predictable mystery, but it was still a good read that I enjoyed. I only thought it was predictable because I solved the mystery before the characters did.

I was super excited to get this book on here, but to be honest, it was just a little too predictable for my taste.

Another win by Laura! I was looking forward to Nicole's story and the chemistry between her and Emmett was wonderful. I loved how they challenged each other, and supported each other and told each other the truth. The mystery component was entertaining and well plotted, too!

LIAR’S POINT is part of the Texas Murder Files series by Laura Griffiin. While not up to the quality of her Tracers series; it’s still miles above the Alpha Crew series. While still enjoyable enough reads, the quality of her work as a whole has slipped a bit over the years. That saying, I liked Nicole and Emmet well enough, and it was nice to be back on the island and in Lost Beach. Good mystery, good characters, nice romance. Liked it well enough to keep reading the series.

"Liar's Point" by Laura Griffin is a thrilling addition to the Texas Murder Files series, weaving a tale of murder, mystery, and simmering romance.

The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading!

Having recently experienced a thrilling detective story, I found myself torn between the fast-paced excitement and the challenge of embracing its intricate background. The narrative took unexpected turns that kept me hooked, yet the unconventional details made it tough to detach my feelings.

The complexity of the story's backdrop proved overwhelming, demanding a significant emotional investment. At times, it was a struggle to navigate the craziness and fully immerse myself in the plot. While the intensity was commendable, I couldn't wholeheartedly stand behind every element.

Despite my reservations, the author skillfully crafted a gripping tale with well-developed characters and a consistent suspenseful atmosphere. The mixed emotions I experienced throughout the journey make it a memorable, albeit challenging, read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for providing a DRC of this title.

The fifth installment in the Texas Murder Files series, Liar’s Point follows Detective Nicole Lawson as she seeks to discover the connection between the mysterious deaths of two local yoga instructors and as long-simmering feelings for fellow detective Emmet Davis finally come to a boil. This was a fantastic read, with Griffin’s signature blend of engrossing characters, sparkling chemistry, and heart-pounding suspense. Always one of my top recommendations for romantic suspense, I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. 5 stars/5.
