Three Perfect Liars by @heidiperks


Review: 🌟🌟🌟

The storyline of this book had a lot of potential, but it dragged on.

It is woven from three perspectives: Laura, Mia and Janie. Laura has just returned from maternity leave to find her mat cover, Mia, has become a permanent fixture and it feels like she is out for Laura’s job. Mia has fit in seamlessly at the company and is desperate to keep her job. And Janie, the wife of the CEO, who had a high-powered job of her own and gave it up to support her husband and his company. There is more to all of them than what appears at first glance. It is clear that they all hold a grudge. So when the company building goes up in flames and there is a body retrieved... each one of them appear to have a motive 🔥.


So real talk... 75% or more of the book was setting the stage without anything really happening. Context is important, but I was so bored by the time the engine revved that it was too late for me.


I notoriously burn the midnight oil to read one more chapter or to finish a book. Nope, not this time. I tucked myself in and prioritized my beauty sleep.


This book is set to be published on Dec 20, 2020, but I wouldn’t be setting any alarms.

Three Little Liars by Heidi Perks (coming out on June 9th)

•

Laura has come back to her high powered job after maternity leave, only to find out the woman hired as her temporary replacement has no intentions of leaving. Now Laura is struggling to reclaim her position at work & be a working mother. Mia was only supposed to be at Morris & Wood for six months but she’s managed to make herself indispensable. If everyone knew why she was really there they wouldn’t want her to stay so bad. Janie Wood, wife of the boss, gave up her career to support her husband & his company. But she has a secret too, one she’ll go to great lengths to keep hidden.

This was such a good book! I had previously read the authors last book Her One Mistake & I enjoyed it so much I added Perks to my “authors to look for” list. Three Perfect Liars is an even better book. All three lead female characters are compelling & I found my alliances shifting as the chapters went on & the stories were further revealed. I think a lot of women will see themselves in one or more of the characters & it raised a lot of “what would I think/do” in certain situations. There’s secrets galore & lots of reveals that had me tearing through the pages to know the truth. I highly recommend this book, it’s definitely one of the best ones I’ve read this year so far.

A big thank you to @netgalley and @simonandschuster for the ARC of this book, it was such a well written page turner!

Told flipping back and forth from present time and the past, a story unfolds where everyone seems to be hiding something. Laura returns to work at Morris and Wood after her maternity leave fighting for her job back from her temporary replacement, Mia. As time unfolds it seems that Mia has a hidden agenda. Between Laura, her bosses wife, Janine, and Mia, someone holds the key to unlocking the secrets behind the fire that comp,Evelyn whipped out Morris and Wood.
Good read.

*I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This book was highly rated and recommended. I didn't think it was very captivating. I feel like it took forever to finish. Its a case of Who done it. The story is told backwards with police interviews. You kinda saw it coming. Three different women and their point of view.

it was alright..

Thanks NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada.

Three Perfect Liars by Heidi Perks is a taut psychological thriller and from the very outset the tension is palpable. The action here is not overt, but rather a latent hostility that quietly simmers, while the reader struggles to ascertain what could possibly be afoot. We know only that a steaming pot left unchecked will eventually boil over.

Told from the alternating perspectives of Laura, Mia, and Janie, and interspersed with the transcripts of formal questioning as it is carried out by police, we join the narrative knowing that a fire has ravaged the offices of an advertising company. Laura has just returned to the company following a maternity leave, only to find that Mia, the woman who was standing in as her temporary coverage, is refusing to leave. CEO Harry seems to be in full agreement to this, for whatever reason, and his wife Janie is clearly harbouring some very dark secrets of her own. Three women, three very different agendas, and a fire at the office of the very company that ties them all together.

This is a novel that had me tied up in knots, and desperate to reach a conclusion that, however it played out, would have left me gobsmacked.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for this ARC.
