The premise of a new mother returning to work is a relatable one. However, Three Perfect Liars must shed more light on women's empowerment or work-life balance. Instead, the story relies on the generic cattiness tripe portrayal of women. There is no tension. The multiple points of view told through interviews are repetitive and unnecessary. The pace is slow, and the ending is predictable. Disappointing.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

A story about three different women who all end up working at the same company and when a fire destroys that company the police need to interview each one. You get a look at the story from each of their perspectives and the police interviews. A good story but at times it dragged for me.

Laura is a new mom, who returns to work following her maternity. Prior to leaving, she hired a temp to cover her job, only to find her still there. Not only is the temp still there, she has taken over Laura’s largest client.

Suddenly, Laura is fixated on who this person is, and why she is taking over. Rather than focus on her son and family - she spends her time focused on taking the temp down.

This was an enjoyable read!

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

The different POVs in this book help to develop the plot & characters. I enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more from Heidi Perks.

First time I have read Heidi and I don’t think it will be the last! This book kept me guessing from start to finish and I finished it in a matter of days— I couldn’t get enough!

An advertising agency has been burned to the ground. There are three women suspected of the crime. I thought the plot was pretty interesting and was intrigued to find out what happened. The story was a bit of a slow burn and I think the story drug out a bit. . None of the women were likeable but I think Laura annoyed me the most.
This was my first book by Heidi Perks - I would read another book by her - This one was an average read for me - I'm glad I finally got to read it.

Thank you so much to met galley for sending me a copy of this book. I think this book had so many great elements but but just read like a cozy mystery? I don’t know I just didn’t feel good about that.

I finally got around to reading this and wish I had read it sooner. The beginning chapter sets up the mystery -- who burned down the office building of a successful ad agency? Then the story is told in flashbacks and police interviews (from after the fire). There are three women, all with equal motive and opportunity -- which one is the guilty party?

The suspense is gripping and the story is carefully revealed in bits and pieces. All throughout I wasn't sure which one was the culprit -- the successful ad executive struggling with returning to work after having a baby, the "conniving" up and comer who has taken her place as favored employee, or the owner's wife who is dealing with a failing marriage and something from her past that has haunted her. All will be revealed and (as the reader suspects all along) the story is not as simple as it seems -- all three have secrets they don't want revealed.

I enjoyed this book very much despite the fact that I figured out the "surprise" long before the big reveal. Oh, well. The writing kept me glued to the pages and each character is fully developed to the point that I could easily empathize with each of them. While it's not the very best suspense/mystery I've read this year, it's a worthy effort and a worthwhile read.

Absolutely fantastic! Could not put the book down. Going to recommend to everyone to check out this book!

DNF - Did not finish. I did not connect with the writing style or plot and will not be finishing this title. Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the early copy!

This was a wonderful exhilarating read. As a mother of three and a former lawyer, I really enjoyed the depiction of motherhood and working as a lawyer. The different women Laura and Mia are wonderfully depicted and the plot was exhilarating! Five stars!

A solid thriller with alternating timelines and engaging excerpts from police interviews etc. A ton of secrets which is always fun too.

From the very first chapter we see that revenge and unhappiness are going to play a huge part in the storyline of this book. While we read thischapter from the perspective of the person who "did the deed", we have no idea who it might be. Through the rest of the book the storyline develops as we visit the lives of three women, Laura, Mia and Janey. Each has their own secret or something in their past they are not proud of; each has a family they are responsible for. Through the police interviews with employees and families we learn more about these three women and why they could be considered suspects. The animosity among them is very evident and the yearly company party brings it all to a head. The characters are well-developed and while the reader may not like any of them overly much, they each also have reasons that elicit compassion.. So how do we determine which of the three women is lying and who is telling the truth? The suspicions change as the story unfolds to developments and background we don't see coming and suspense grows for the final outcome. Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for the opportunity to read and review this advance reader copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #NetGalley #ThrePerfectLiars

Three Perfect Liars is told from alternating perspectives, including those of the three women. This story also gives us the police interviews with various employees following the fire. The characters were well written. I thought I had the story figured out but not totally so that was good. Overall I thought this was a pretty average story. I don't think it will be one that sticks with me though.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Heidi Perks and NetGallery for the chance to read this book!

This book was just okay for me. I didn't find the main character Laura to be very likable. She just kept obsessing over Mia and how she stayed at the job. I felt for her in the beginning but she seemed very bitter. I also found the plot predictable, I didn't saw certain things coming. The big plot twist at the end was a surprise for me, I however found it unrealistic. The novel did keep me guessing enough about who started the fire to keep reading, I was curious. But overall, the book was just okay to me.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* pretty wild book lmao like wow didnt really see that coming, not boring and hard to put down for sure lol

My opinion is not the norm. I tired to like this book. I even tired reading it over and over
I just couldn't. It just didn't click with me.

The beginning was good and I had high hopes. They soon got shot down. The three were petty, immature and they annoyed me. The talked so much about maternity leave, having a career and being a mother, and trying to balance the two. I think I just got bored and when a book bores me, I just close it and move on.

As I said, my opinion is not the norm, you may love the book. Thanks to Netgalley for the Kindle Version of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

.

Wow, what an addicting and spectacular read! This would make for one heck of a TV series.

The book begins at the scene of a fire. A building that was assumed to be empty but it wasn't. One person dies in the fire and another escapes with serious injuries.

The book continues with the story of three women (Mia, Laura and Janie). Women with secrets, past and present and the story goes back and forth from before the fire to after the fire.

Laura, who has been on maternity leave for six months has just returned to work. Her husband, Nate, staying home to take care of the baby. Mia is the temp while Laura was on maternity leave. Laura, upon her return, finds out that Mia now has a permanent position with the company. Laura doesn't trust Mia and thinks she is hiding something, and she is determined to the point of obsession to find out what that something is.

Janie is the wife of the CEO. She gave up her huge career as a defense barrister in London, uplifting her family, to support her husband in his new venture in Lymington. Laura, also has secrets and a troubled past. Filled with lots of twists and lies, this book will not disappoint.

This thriller is riveting and hard to put down. It centers around a mysterious (and deadly) fire from the viewpoint of three ambitious women, all with different reasons to want a man dead. If you’re looking for a new beach read, this one is perfect.
