About this item
Praise for NINE LIARS: "The exploration of the importance of friendship adds emotional vulnerability to this book, which has a well-developed sense of place and features the series signature humor and layered mystery elements. Immersive and genre-savvy." Kirkus Reviews(starred review) "A scintillating mystery. Johnson delivers a meticulously crafted fair-play mystery that gratifies as a standalone while also forwarding the richly textured characters arcs, a treat for fans of the series. Distinctly written flashbacks to 1995 pepper the present-day narrative, creating resonance and investing readers in Stevies case. Stevie cues as white; the supporting cast is intersectionally diverse." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Johnson delivers another satisfying mystery, with diverse characters, authentic depictions of mental health, and friends holding one another accountable for their actions in loving, supportive ways.
