Editorial Review of Liar: An Irene Kelly Mystery
Investigative reporting has its hazards, but trouble hits home for Irene Kelly when her estranged aunt is murdered--and Irene becomes the leading suspect. With the police hot on her trail, Irene sets out to find cousin Travis, her dead aunt's son, convinced he's the next target.
But when Irene finds Travis, a camper-driving children's storyteller with suspiciously deep pockets, things blow up--literally. It takes several brushes with death, staying one step ahead of the law, and a few not-so-sweet reunions for Irene to untangle a complex web of family secrets and long-held grudges, and discover just who is killing off the Kelly clan--and why.

Review Summary: GREAT READING
Review: Great reading from Jan Burke once again. Riveting from the first page to the last.

Review Summary: In agreement with others...
Review: I stumbled across the first Irene Kelly novel, Goodnight Irene, a little less than a month ago and have flown through the rest of her books. I thoroughly enjoy them. HOWEVER, I have to agree with most of the other "critics" on this page and say there are too many characters to keep straight. I find myself having to flip back and forth to clarify storylines. I would like to note, for those who are considering reading these books, this is a series that is better read in order, than picking up in the middle.

Review Summary: Not the best or the worst
Review: This was my first exposure to Jan Burke. Although the book was interesting, I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned there were too many characters to keep track of. The book did ramble a bit and at times I found myself completely confused as to what was going on and how the characters were connected.
Having said this, I will try Jan Burke again-I bought Bloodlines at a Library Book Sale-before I write her off completely.

Review Summary: Page-Turning Whodunit !!
Review: I really enjoyed this book, the characters and the plot were very, very exciting.

Review Summary: Too much Family Saga
Review: Still recovering from incidents in Hocus and Irene's injuries from a previous accident, Frank and her are working on having a normal life with no unusual happenings. After her sister Barbara calls ranting and raving about a new grave next to there's parents, Irene goes to talk to Aunt Mary. During this conversation she learns about long lost relatives and family feud that started two decades ago. After some sleuthing at the
deceased' s house she locates her cousin Travis. The rest of the book is about Irene learning the truth about things that happened during her parent's marriage and why her mother and aunt was deceased. At some point I gave up on this plot, it just another tired family saga of who did who wrong. The mystery was just
there to give the book a purpose which it failed miserably. I thought after Hocus Burke was hitting her stride as a writer who spins page turning stories. Sadly she returned to the lackluster style of Remember Me Irene. Many times I found myself thinking why am I still reading this and the answer is Frank. If he in
the forefront of the stories then it has meat and I want to read more. When she sends him off on a wild goose chase the book doesn't hold my interest.
