Book review: The Perfect Lie is a crime belter from a writer on top form

Our reviewer says Jo Spain has to be one of the best Irish crime writers

THE kick-off point for this new thriller is quite ingenious. And the intrepid plotting of the story is worthy of the premise. The pot is kept on the boil right to the last pages when new revelations are still emerging.

A lot of people are plying their trade in the Irish crime genre but on the evidence of this outing, Jo Spain has to be one of the best.
