Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think it dragged a little in some of the story and kept the "secret" a bit too long. I found it slow going without too much happening for a long time. And many of the characters annoyed the hell out of me.

By the end, with the reveal I was satisfied.

I enjoyed this book and there was nothing wrong with it, but it didn't blow me away. It had a gentle, meandering plot and I liked that the perspective kept switching between the three women. At each chapter we are given a bit of the police report with the other staff of agency and I found it definitely helped to draw suspense and show the tension between the different parties. Overall I wasn't able to guess most of the secrets and the ending did catch me by surprise, it just wasn't the roller coaster that I had expected.

A page turner, how the lives of Laura, Mia and Janie connect.

Laura worked for Janie’s husband Harry, she had acquired an account in the firm that brought in a great deal of money. Then Laura gets pregnant and takes 6 months off, so she is asked to hire ‘Temp’. This is where Mia comes in, she is interviewed by Laura and insists she just wants just a temporary job.......but is she telling the truth? Mia has left her well paying job to return to her childhood home to help her Mom look after her sister. When Laura returns expecting to get her job back she discovers Mia has taken over her top account and Harry supports the decision. Laura is devastated and tries to persuade Harry to give her back the account. He refuses! Then the sparks fly in all directions!

A fascinating tale, with all three women having secrets that you will be eager to discover. Highly recommended, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

3.5 rounded to 4

A fire, a body bag and three women with secrets? Sign me up! Our three perfect liars are Laura, Mia and Janie, all initially connected through an advertising firm. Laura returns to work at firm after mat leave to find out that her replacement Mia has taken over her role and her largest client. Mia has her own secret reasons and agenda for being at the firm. And then there is Janie, the wife to the boss who doesn’t trust her husband or his female employees and has her own secrets to hide.

This was my first read by the author and I liked Park’s writing style and in particular, the multiple POVS of three women, transcripts of police interviews, and the alternating timeline of before and after the fire, including a police interrogation that was very Big Little Lies. This is a quick read and whodunit that was easy to put together for me as I was able to connect the clues given by each woman. Because of this, I found the ending and reveal to be a bit anticlimactic. My favourite parts of the book were the work environment and how the dynamics between the women were created and changed throughout the book. Overall, an entertaining read for fans of books like Big Little Liars and workplace suspense.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simone & Schuster Canada for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. Pub date is August 18th, 2020.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just as I enjoyed her previous book, Her One Mistake. I felt myself connecting to each of the character's perspectives and their motivation behind their actions. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and reading into the early morning hours. A must-read for any fans of thrillers, and particularly timely for the women's empowerment movement. I look forward to reading more of Perks' future titles. Thanks to Netgalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story centres around the time before and after fire destroys an advertising agency (Morris and Wood) where Harry Wood is the CEO. The story is about 3 women: Laura who has been off on maternity leave returns to find that her replacement doesn't want to leave. Mia was a temp hire while Laura was off but she has managed to make herself so indispensable. Janie gave up everything to support her husband and the successful agency that he runs. All three women seem to have dark secrets that they don't want coming to light.

The question is did someone set fire to Morris and Wood? Detective Emily Marlow conducts the interviews and everyone has interesting stories to tell

This was an interesting book that was written in many different styles. Part of it was like a play, part of it was a movement back and forth in time.

What a great premise!

A mysterious fire, possible deaths, twisted back stories. All interwoven until the clearer picture emerges.

Some of the mystery was strung out for too long but my main niggle with this book was that none of the characters were particularly likable. When faced with multiple mysteries, I kept hoping I would champion one of the main characters but they were not particularly nice. I would begin to identify with their problems and then they would step out of their expected behaviours and become unpleasant.

The twists are marvellous, the writing style is magnetic, and you could certainly do way worse than spend some time with Three Perfect Liars.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. #netgalley #threeperfectliars

It took me quite some time to get in to this story. Not like i was going to give up on it; but it seemed to take forever for anything to happen, and i was a bit bored. However, in saying that, i read the last 60% in one afternoon.
The characters were very complex and deeply faceted. I can't say i developed any feelings for them at the beginning, and found them a bit unrelatable (especially Laura - as i was a stay at home mom and she very much wanted to work!). I didn't really like them, until the very end, when the truth finally came out.
I had no idea how it was going to end and really liked how it was all tied together. The ending was a complete surprise. I was left with a few questions though: for example, what exactly happened with Saskia? The ending also left me hanging a bit, although i can imagine what happened.
I would recommend it though - the writing was really good and it was a very intelligent story.

I really wanted to love this one, it had all the ingredients that I usually look for in a book. A thriller, English, the promise of a twist, but I didn't connect to the characters and the story felt rushed. In the end, I waited for a twist that felt a little flat. I had really high hopes, which probably set me up for disappointment. This one was lacklustre for me.

I liked this book it was face paced, a quick twisty read. It is told from 3 women’s point of views. There is a crazy paced lead up to the drama. It all seems to unfold over a 8 weeks period. There is unreliable characters, which I always love. A extremely insecure woman who may be mentally unstable. And one who’s world revolves around her mission, which slowly unfolds.

This is a good read I liked the flow, the writing is beautiful. I would have liked it to be a little longer, I would have liked an definite ending.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book grabs the reader from the onset. The plot is well developed and holds the attention until the end. You are left wanting more. A must read!

I got to read this book at a very opportune time as I also just returned from maternity leave and can definitely relate to Laura’s struggle as a working mom. I honestly felt like there could have been a little more... thrill to this thriller but overall it was a good story!

Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for the ARC of Three Perfect Liars by Heidi Perks. I’ve been hearing good things about this author and was excited to read her newest novel. Right from the start, I liked the alternating narrators, flipping from past to present; this sets the stage for a more complex timeline, while keeping the perspective fresh. Perks does a good job of setting the stage for the conflicts, revealing past problems and hinting at the present ones. The intermittent police interview are important narrative pieces and work to fill in the gaps. Not sure I’m crazy about the “high-strung formerly successful woman returning from maternity leave” character; I actually prefer her nemesis, but you can decide for yourself. Perks throws in enough of Mia’s backstory to elicit some sympathy, but it is murky through most of the book, yet it niggles at you. Also, not sure I’m buying that Laura cares more for her biggest client than the well-being of her husband and baby. To top it all off, if she’s such a talented person, could she not have simply found another job? ...but then that would ruin the pivotal conflict, and the question of “who dunnit”. Keep reading, you will be surprised.

The novel starts with an office building on fire, resulting in the death of an unidentified character, and an unnamed woman observing the scene from a distance. From there the events flash back and forth in time between the police investigation and the events in the months leading up to that night.

We follow three women, all of whom, as you can guess from the title, are untrustworthy narrators. Who's lying and who's telling the truth? Who's conveniently leaving out bits of information? Who is misinterpreting the actions of others? There are surprises right until the end.

Although suspenseful, I didn't find this to be as much of a thriller as I expected. Instead it was more of a puzzle to be solved through the lens of three very different women's experiences and perspectives. I really enjoyed the characters, in spite of their flaws. The author has a great understanding of human nature, so even though I didn't always like the choices the characters made, I always knew why they were making them. I'll definitely look for more by this author.

The book was easy to follow and the story kept you wondering what would happen next. I think the ending was a little bit anti climatic, but I would definitely recommend it. It's perfect as an easy beach read for those who prefer thrillers.

An entertaining read that will have you hooked as you read about all the lies and liars in this novel. Three women and they all have their share of secrets and lies, and their dynamics was interesting to read about. A major revelation at the beginning tells about a fire, but who is responsible? I love a good who done it type novel and this one is just that - are all three women telling the truth when they insist they didn't do it, or is one of them lying?

An enjoyable read that I would recommend.

Three Perfect Liars starts off strong with a major fire at the building of a well known ad agency and the flames can be seen for miles.

Across the quay our unknown culprit wonders what she has done.

We know two bodies are pulled out but the police wont comment .

Three women all with potential motive, all with their own demons, are present .

The story is told from before the fire and what has lead up to the conflict between the women.

The pages fly by, who is guilty, I changed my mind several times.

The ending comes with a twist that keeps the lights on more chapter.

A great read that makes you think and hope no one will interrupt you before you get to the end.

Thanks to Net Galley and Simon and Schuster Canada, Gallery Books for a thriller of a read!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a great pace, not predictable, and perfectly entertaining. The pace was really great and kept me flipping the pages. Perks continually dropped little nuggets of new information along the way to keep the intrigue high.

A major, devastating and fatal fire has occurred and there are 3 women who all have the means and motive to have started the fire but all insist it wasn't them. Who's lying?

Three Perfect Liars is an intriguing mystery but the characters could be better fleshed out and less one-dimensional. There was enough there to keep me guessing, and it certainly wasn't a stereotypical thriller. I did enjoy seeing how the three women would end up coming together (both physically and in terms of their storyline developments).

It was hard to feel for some of the characters without getting to know them better. Personally, I didn't feel like we got to know Janie enough to really understand why in the space of five years she'd gone from loving her husband to him being almost a stranger in their house. I couldn't understand why she wouldn't just say something to him, which made her job as a defense barrister not really feel genuine.

I did enjoy switching between their different viewpoints and the way the past and present combined together. It was a fun ride from start to finish.

My full review for Three Perfect Liars is on Amazon Adviser.

I didn't see that ending coming!

Harry Wood Advertising Agency building goes up in flames. Definitely arson, but who and why are the details Det. Emily Marlow is interviewing people to root out the answers.

Jamie Wood seems to have the perfect life as Harry's wife. Laura Denning has been Harry's right hand Director in the agency, until she returns from maternity leave. Mia Anderson was supposed to be a temporary employee filing in for Laura but she's still at the agency, sitting at Laura's desk, and now full time on Laura's major account when Laura returns.

Just what do these women have in common that makes Harry the center of their world? What are each of these women hiding? '

I really enjoyed the intrigue in this one. Must read more by this author.
