Mitt i natten lyses stadshimlen upp av skenet från tre stora eldsvådor. Det är mer än bara ett tragiskt sammanträffande. För kriminalkommissarie Helen Grace visar sig en ondska hon aldrig tidigare sett maken till. Bränderna kräver flera människoliv, och det framgår snart att de är noggrant planerade och iscensatta. Men utredningen hinner knappt börja förrän nya lågor slickar stadens byggnader och fler får sätta livet till. Pressen på Helen blir stor när allmänheten kräver att hon och hennes team ska hitta den skyldige och få ett slut på de fruktansvärda mordbränderna. Och som om det inte vore nog måste hon också hantera sina överordnade och säkerställa att den ambitiösa reportern Emilia Garanita inte stjälper polisens arbete. Utredningen blir till en krutdurk. Frågan är hur Helen ska orka stå emot sina egna demoner och kunna koncentrera sig på att hitta och oskadliggöra mordbrännaren. ......

Betyg 
The Helen Grace series by M.J. Arlidge is a series that never fails to impress and entertain. Every book I have read so far has been great and this one is not an exception. In this, book four, must Helen Grace and her colleagues stop an arsonist that is apparently randomly burning down buildings. But, could it be that there is some kind of plan, or is it just a crazy person that likes to burn down buildings?
The book is a page-turner. My favorite kind of page-turner with intensive short chapters that make you want to read just one more chapter and suddenly have you read half the book. After finishing the book can't I help but think that all this could have been avoided. That all the people that died in this book died because of some people's selfnesses. it's so tragic and it's also hard to write about the book's story since I don't want to spoil the book, so I will just say that Liar Liar is a really good book.
I honestly couldn't figure out who was behind it all, until at the last minute when I started to suspect one person. But, even after that did Arlidge surprise me with an intriguing twist to the story. I like Helen Grace, Charlie and the rest of the team very much and I like how human they all seem with flaws. Helen is very impulsive and I do feel that she is a bit self-destructive.
This has become a favorite series of mine and I love the way M.J. Arlidge write the books. Just don't do what I did and read book two before book one that spoils a bit of the "fun" of reading book one. Trust me, read the book in order.
