Liar's Beach by Katie Cotugno

3.0

Decent read. I got it from the BN Coffee shop thing where you get it for $5 when you buy coffee (which is a super cool thing and introduced me to the brilliance of What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher) and don't regret it. The mystery isn't really anything spectacular; the main focus is on the teen drama, so if that's your thing go for it. My favorite part about it was the setting. Murder mysteries at Martha's Vineyard? Sign me up.

The main character is a complete imbecile though, lol, stumbling his way from one idiotic decision to another while the females help him put his pants on and wipe his face for him and explain the most rudimentary concepts to him throughout. Which is pretty much the current trend in the way male characters are written by female authors at this point so no surprise there.

Still, I think I might check out the sequel when it comes out. Holiday is a fascinating character and if it's set in the same region, my interest is piqued.
