Bad Liar by Tami Hoag

September 2024

I cannot remember the last Tami Hoag novel that I read. It’s been a while since Tami has had a new book out; she had been dealing with some health issues. But she is back and definitely still has her sharp writing chops. I thoroughly enjoyed BAD LIAR, which is set in Louisiana, and you can feel the humidity coming off the swamp as the book opens. There’s a man’s body at the dead end of a quiet road. His face has been shot off, and his hands have been blasted off, which will make recognizing him tough. And that’s just the start of the day for sheriff’s detective Nick Fourcade.
