Another fantastic read in the series! I enjoyed the introduction of a cold case alongside the current one and the backstory of Gina's personal life alongside the case. Plenty of twists and turns, as usual, and lots of tension. Can't wait for the next one!

This was a great well put together thoughtful mystery/suspense.

Although the subject matter has been done many times, this author along with this established Detective made it its own, in its own right.

The mystery is not only surrounding g the woman who never arrived home after attending a party it also brings out other bi stand mysteries and questions that keep the reader forever questioning what’s going on.

Really enjoyed it

Love Carla Kovach’s writing style! Gina Harte is one kick-ass lady that you really don’t want to cross! I’ve read all of this series and none of them disappoint! 
Gina has a fabulous supporting cast within the book and as the series progresses it’s nice to get a glimpse into their lives too.
I do have to warn you though that they are highly addictive and almost impossible to put down! You simply need to know what happens next! 
You are kept guessing all the way from beginning end, thoroughly enjoyed it!

All I can say is what a great book, thoroughly enjoyed it,  a real page turner,.gripped me from the first page and could not put it down x

This book is part of a series. It was very well written. I have only read this one so I will be definately reading number 1,2,3 to get the background. Lots of twists and suspects to keep your interest going. The book is told by multiple characters. If you like Angela Marsons book then you are sure to like these.

5/5 Stars! This was my first Kovach book and I really enjoyed it. I now realize I should have read them in order however this book was enjoyable on it's own. I am now going to go back and start from the beginning of the series! I felt that this novel as a stand-alone worked great and kept my attention through the twists and turns. 

Detective Harte and her coworkers are called to a crime scene where they find a young mother, Jade, dead. She was on her way home from a party when she was murdered. They aren't entirely sure what kind of party at the time. The timeline and events that follow the death are incredibly easy to follow and I had no idea what was coming!

I received this ARC from Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley.com, to Bookouture, and to Carla Kovach.

This was yet another fantastic thriller in the Gina Harte series. I highly recommend the entire series and I can't wait to read the next book.

Fourth in the series each book a chilling read.This book had so many twists and turns I stayed up late in the night reading, Can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading each book in the series.#netgalley#bookoutture

I’ve never started in the middle of a series and I attempted it recently. I obviously hadn’t met Detective Gina Harte yet since this is the fourth installment in the series and knowing how much I didn’t know, messed with my brain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The subtle hints to previous events that create the layered characters we become so loyal to call out and are such a sign of good writing but in this case made me impatient and I bailed. Now I know not to start in the middle! I bought the first in the series in order to give Gina a genuinely fair go.

This book was so good, I can't wait to read more in the series. Omg the twist was fantastic, I always love missing person books.

The story was rather disappointing and in many ways predictable. I felt that the story dragged quite a bit.
I just couldn't really connect with any of the characters which I found disappointing. Maybe this one just wasn't my cup of tea. I will say that the end was a tad different from what I was expecting. Overall this is not a book I would recommend.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a gritty and dark crime mystery!

This is a fourth book of detective Gina Harte series. I’ve read the previous books and all of them were pretty good read so I moved on to book four.

Gina starts to investigate a brutal murder case that she was killed after she joined a suspicious party. Gina found that her cruel ex-brother in law was a member of this party. She also discovered the case might connect to the mysterious disappearance of a young lady couple years before. 

I recommend to read the previous books of this series as they give you the background information that you can enjoy this book more. This book contained Gina’s past and complicated romance. Hence, without the previous information, it’s difficult to understand what is going on and why. Well, I enjoyed her romance in the first book, though I’m getting bored of it a bit. I thought when I read the third one, she will move on her past someday but the shadows still cling on her. I hope she gets out of her trauma...
What I like about this book is Gina’s teammates. They are very engaging characters.

The murder is pretty brutal and lots of twists as all the ones in  previous books.
In this story, Gina gets distracted a lot as there are her brutal brother-in law and a guy she met online, who started stalking her, seem to be involved in the case.

The investigation and twists are gripping but I get bit annoyed by Gina... I hope she stops hiding herself.

I marked this book as 4 stars

Thank you for Bookouture via NetGalley for a copy of this book.

I loved Harte’s character and thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was the first I’d read by this author but I will look for more now. So goodn

This book was just okay for me. I found it predictable and that it dragged on and on. Overall, wasn't my cup of tea.

D.I Gina Harte series is a little addicting! After writing this re use I’ll be moving straight on to book 5! I think this is my favourite so far! 

I found The Liars House very gripping and was intrigued from the get-go. Its thrilling pace was steady throughout and also had a few twists thrown in. I love the relationship that’s developing with two of the main characters. I’ll look forward to seeing how that develops in the next book!

The Liar’s House is my first book to read by Carla Kovach.  It is the fourth book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone.  I must say I enjoyed the book so much that I want to read the rest of the series.   It is such a psychological thriller that will leave your head spinning.

I am no longer interested in the content of this book. So, I'm DNF'ing this book for now. I may circle back around to this book one day.

Das Buch hat alles, was ein überzeugender Thriller braucht. Spannend, logisch und gut geschrieben. Macht Lust auf mehr.

THE LIAR’S HOUSE is the fourth crime thriller novel in the Detective Gina Harte Series, by author Carla Kovach. Having enjoyed the previous novels in the series, I move on to book 4. The story is set in a small fictional town in the English Midlands.

The 4 books in the series include:
The Next Girl (Book 1)
Her Final Hour (Book 2)
Her Pretty Bones (Book 3)
The Liar’s House (Book4)

Even though this novel worked well as a stand-alone, I would recommend other readers to read the previous books as they will be given background information on the characters in this book. A solid police procedural 
Samantha stumbled out of the party and on to a busy street only ten minutes away from her home. But she never made it home… 

Seven years after Samantha’s disappearance, her best friend Diane is shocked to find a letter addressed to Samantha on her doorstep. When Diane opens the envelope, she pulls out a birthday card and a finger nail painted in dusky pink nail polish. This is the same shade that Samantha always wore. 

But when the police analyze the nail, they find it doesn’t belong to Samantha but to another woman, Jade Ashmore. And Jade was murdered the night before the envelope was delivered…. 

Now in book four Detective Gina Hart is investigating the murder of Jade Ashmore, a young woman who was attacked and killed in a residential street after attending a house party.  

But seven years previously Samantha went missing in the same manner, and is still a missing person case. 

Will Gina solve both cases - the death of Jade and the disappearance of Samantha in time before the sick killer strikes again?

This is a well-written solid police procedural/thriller, with lots of twists and suspects to keep the reader guessing.

Many thanks to the author, Bookouture via NetGalley for my digital copy.

This was the first book I have read by Carla Kovach and what an absolutely wonderful read. It is part of a series but it didn't leave me confused or unable to realise what was going on so it could be read as a stand alone. The Lair's House is raw, it doesn't sugarcoat anything, which in this day and age is not very common. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, in fact, I enjoyed it so much I have decided to go and read the other three in the series. Once I am caught up, I look forward to finding out what happens next.
