    Liars, Cheaters & Thieves

    About this audiobook

    Outside a local bar, a man is drugged and slashed to death with a scalpel. Inside a local bank, a woman suffers a fatal heart attack after learning her life savings have been plundered.

    The crimes are as different as the night and day they occur. The vicious murder is a case for Eugene’s Violent Crimes Division, but the more Detective Wade Jackson and his homicide team probe into the death of Rafel Mazari—an Iraq War veteran with disturbing secrets—the more it appears that one crime’s victim may be the other’s perpetrator.

    While there’s damning evidence that Mazari died at the hands of his cheating wife, a phantom internet veterans’ charity—the same one that wiped out the heart attack victim’s bank account—keeps cropping up at every turn of Jackson’s investigation. And when Mazari’s best friend turns up murdered in identical fashion, Jackson suspects a motive that’s deeper, darker, and more devastating than broken vows and love turned lethal.

      Another very good read in the Detective Wade Jackson series. If you've not read any books from this series you need to give them a try. Police procedural set in US.
    • 3/5
      I received this book as a LibraryThing Member Giveaway.Liars, Cheaters, Thieves is book 5 in a series featuring Detective Wade Jackson. First off, I must admit to not reading the previous stories. So this one had to stand alone. It held up pretty well. There were a few mentions of past relationships or cases, I assume to catch the new reader up or as small reminders for anyone familiar with the books.Prez, a homeless man, witnesses a murder in a bar parking lot. Molly Pershings bank account is emptied of $7000. Det. Jackson and his crew are called in to the homicide. They run into a whole cast of suspects. When a friend of the first victim is also killed, they tie all 3 crimes together. The case is pretty easy for the reader to follow. Although there is a surprise at the end that I never expected. (I won't tell, Don't want to spoil it for anyone who has yet to read it.) There were a few grammar mistakes in my edition that need to be fixed. (Such as "He knocked door, but nobody answered.")I found the story a little slow at times, but interesting none the less. The characters were well thought out, likable, and believable.I will probably try to find the time to read the first 4 books in the series.

      Wow-a real gut-wrencher!I started reading this last nite, and finally had to stop at 2AM-finished up today,and it was definitely worth the time!I loved how the author used JUST ENOUGH legal language to make it sound realistic,but not enough to make it boring.I hope to read more of this detective in the future!-WELL DONE!!
