Laura Caldwell’s The Good Liar, is a novel that
reminds of the cold war which many of the West's worst enemies have died at
the hands of military assassins or sophisticated rocket attacks, if
something like the Trust does not exist, maybe it should. Its existence,
however, was the last thing that Kate Livingston was thinking of when she
fell in love with Michael Waller and decided to forever pack away her life
in Chicago to marry him and move to Canada where Michael was starting his
new business.
Looking back, Liza Kingsley, Kate's best friend, wondered what she was
thinking when she had insisted that Kate go out to dinner with Michael
Waller the next time that business brought him to Chicago. She could only
rationalize her decision by reminding herself how improbable it was that
Kate, recently divorced and not particularly interested in meeting anyone
new, would fall in love with a man more than fifteen years older than her.
She had only hoped to offer Kate a diversion that would tempt her back into
the dating world. What she got was something that none of the three could
have foreseen.
Kate may have been madly in love with Michael Waller but the experience of a
failed marriage left her with a keen sense of when she was not being told
the whole truth by her husband. In a matter of weeks she was sure that
Michael was hiding something from her and she feared that it was an affair
with her best friend, the very woman who had introduced them. But as much as
Michael wished that he could put all of Kate's suspicions and fears to rest,
there was no way that he could even begin to tell her the truth about
himself, his work, or his past. Waller knew that being honest with Kate
would place her life in danger because of his work with a private espionage
group, one highly funded and not afraid to use assassination to protect the
interests of the United States or to keep its own existence hidden to the
rest of the world.
Good Liar is a different type of romance novel and a first rate
thriller. Laura Caldwell is a very unique author with a flare for words and
creating a story.
