ARC received from Simon & Schuster Australia for an honest review

Political/spy thrillers are my jam at the moment, and this debut from August Thomas started with a bang, and had the adrenaline pumping right till the end.

Liar's Candle is a seductive game of cat and mouse, the reader wondering who are the good guys, who are the bad. Who can be trusted.

I mean seriously, who is really the enemy?

I was whisked away on an adrenaline filled journey along with Penny and those who are dragged into her life. I as kept on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.

I would never have guessed that this was a debut novel. Liar's Candle is a well written, well plotted story that will keep the reader intrigued from the first blast to the last.

I was happy to see that there will be more Penny Kessler stories in the future, and can't wait to get my hands on them.
