Review of Liar Liar by Lisa Jackson

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In this riveting page-turner from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, a woman searches for the mother she hasn’t seen in twenty years, and uncovers a nightmare of greed and deception . . .  
 
In death, Didi Storm is finally getting the kind of publicity that eluded her in life. Twenty years ago, the ex-beauty queen worked the Vegas strip as a celebrity impersonator, too busy trying to make it big to spare much time for her daughter, Remmi. Shortly before she leaped from a San Francisco building, Didi’s profile was rising again, thanks to a tell-all book. To Detective Dani Settler, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a promotional stunt gone wrong. But Remmi knows the truth isn’t so simple. Because though the broken body on the sidewalk is dressed in Didi’s clothes and wig, it isn’t Didi.
 
Remmi was fifteen when she last saw her mother. Their parting came in the aftermath of a terrible night in the Mojave desert when Remmi—who’d secretly stowed away in Didi’s car en route to meet her crush, Noah Scott—instead became witness to a mysterious rendezvous. Didi handed over one of her newborn twins to a man Remmi didn’t recognize. Subsequently, Didi disappeared, as did Remmi’s other 
half-sibling. Remmi has pleaded with the authorities to find them, but there have been no clues. Yet she’s always had the sense that someone is watching her . . .
 
If the victim isn’t Didi, who is it—and what’s the connection? Remmi is shocked when Noah resurfaces. He was also in the desert that night, and now runs his own PI firm. He too believes it’s time to find out what really happened. As they and Detective Settler dig deeper, the truth about Remmi’s missing family begins to emerge . . . a story of ruthless ambition and twisted lies that someone will kill again and again to keep hidden . . .

My Review:
5 Stars

Over the years I have been sadden by some of my go to authors. Their stories and characters having turned stale and leaving me yearning for the days of yore. Lisa Jackson is definitely not one of those authors. Her stories are as engaging as ever and have even more twists and turns than her earlier work. Definitely an author that I continue to fall back on when I need a good book to read. 

Remmi has been searching for her mother since the night she disappeared. Never losing hope that somehow the infamous Didi Storm has prevailed over all the secrets that took place 20 years ago. 

Now Remmi is in the midst of trying to figure out who penned the book about her mother. En route to the publishing house she witnesses what could be Didi's final act. Did her mother resurface after all this time just to take her final bow?

Racing against those who are watching, Remmi tries to piece together the events of the past and the happenings of today. Lucky for her Noah shows back up, adding his owns skills into the mix. 

What follows is an engaging and twisting story that will have you on the edge of your seat.
