Such Charming Liars

I am a big fan of Karen M. McManus and this one did not disappoint. In fact, it may just be my favorite of all her books. It’s about a jewel thief, which helps of course. Jamie and Kat are a mother-daughter grifter duo. It has always been just the two women, except for forty-eight hours when Jamie was married and Kat had a temporary stepbrother, Liam. After the divorce, Kat & Liam went their separate ways. Now, Jamie is trying to go straight but has just one final job to complete: steal a rare ruby necklace at billionaire Ross Sutherland’s birthday party up in Maine. Jamie heads up, Kat figures out a way to tag along… only to run smack into Liam and his father Luke (Jamie’s ex-husband). A series of disasters ensues. Jamie gets very sick so Kat has to take over. Someone dies. The killer may actually be after them! Can Kat and Liam trust each other? One thing is certain: they both know how to lie… they learned it from their parents. This is fast paced and fun and utterly unputdownable. I loved it!
