Liar's Point by Lauren Griffin is the fifth standalone romantic suspense novel in the Texas Murder Files. Two homicide detectives work together to find the truth in Lost Beach, Texas. Suspense, rivals and hidden feelings soon give way to danger and romance.
I've really been enjoying Griffin's Texas Murder Files series from the intriguing cases to the romances. Each book works as a standalone with its own case and romance.
When a body turns up near the lighthouse and is ruled a homicide, Detective Nicole Lawson and veteran detective Emmet Davis work the case. Nicole wants the lead, but the chief gives it to Emmet. Nicole has feelings for Emmet, but has kept them hidden. She also sees him as her biggest rival. I liked their banter and his protective nature, which Nicole finds annoying.
The case was a curious one, and Nicole's instincts regarding witnesses and leads were spot on. A second murder and attempted murder amped up the suspense and brought feelings to light. It was a gripping murder mystery with a clever twist.
I liked Emmet and enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. Griffin does a wonderful job of balancing the case and romantic thread. Although, I think it fell more towards a murder mystery case, but it's also what I like about her stories. I found myself equally invested in both outcomes.
Fans of murder-mysteries & police cases with a side of romance will enjoy taking Liar's Point to the beach this summer.
