The Good Liar by Catherine McKenzie

You can certainly rely on Catherine McKenzie to write a good thriller, and The Good Liar is no exception. Modeled after the events of 9/11, (loosely) we find that a building has exploded, killing people and disrupting lives. However, this time the tragedy occurs in Chicago, and fewer families have been affected. With stories intertwined, there is a lot going on in this book; unreliable characters add to the confusion, and at times, it can be difficult to discern what is going on. The characters themselves were somewhat hard to relate to, as they made horrific decisions, some worse than others, and not altogether believable. With that said, the story moves along at a pretty good pace, but with some repetition. You definitely have to approach this story with a sense of disbelief, because some of the actions of characters are so unreal. Overall, an interesting read, though not great literature by any stretch. Thanks to Netgalley.com for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
