Review: Liar's Beach

 

Linden's the scholarship kid at school, but he tries to hide his lack of wealth. His roommate's family owns a house on the vineyard. He's invited for a week during the summer.

First, it's not a house, it's mansion. Second, everyone is wealthy. Third, there's LOTS of drama. Friendship drama, family drama, and romantic drama spill out all over the place. 

But it all blows up when the morning after the teens throw a house party, someone's found in the pool. He's unconscious.  Linden's not sure who to trust. Everyone seems to have a motive. Secrets start coming out and Linden wonders if he should even be there...

My Thoughts: This was a good thriller. From the cover and the title, I was excepting something different. Also, I'm not an Agatha Christie fan, so I didn't realize this was a modern retelling. It's hard to like any of the characters and I didn't empathize with any of them, but I had to keep turning the page to uncover the truth about that night.

Cover Thoughts: Cute, but doesn't match the book

Library Recommendation: A fun summer thriller - hand this to folks who love Cruel Summer.
