Book Review - "Liar Liar"

"Liar Liar" by K.J. Larsen

On Saturday, the library had quite a treat - Kari, Kristen, and Julianne Larsen, the trio of sisters who write under the pen name K.J. Larsen stopped by for a book signing and Q & A session of their debut novel, "Liar Liar". We had a great turn-out, and everyone I've talked to so far loves the book. Here's a brief synopsis, taken from Publisher's Weekly:

Cat DeLuca, owner of Pants on Fire Detective Agency and member of the large and largely dysfunctional DeLuca family of mostly honest Chicago cops, makes a strong first impression in Larsen's comic, sexy debut. Inspired by her own marital experience with cheater Johnnie Rizzo,, Cat nails cheating spouses or follows suspected cheaters like Chance Savino until she nails them. Explosions like the one that puts cat in the hospital and supposedly kills Chance get everyone excited and lead to more fireworks. Mama DeLuca thinks Cat is crazy, brother Rocco thinks she needs protection, and Chance makes unexpected appearances that only Cat sees. Larsen surrounds her heroine with lots of Italian food, handsome men, and resourceful family members. Things turn deadly when a client turns up dead and someone wants Cat off the case permanently.
