Liar City

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

A 2023 AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD WINNER

A murder has Seattle on edge, and it falls to a pacifist empath—and a notorious empath hunter—to find the killer before it's too late

It’s the middle of the night when part-time police consultant and full-time empath Reece gets an anonymous call warning him that his detective sister needs his help. At an out-of-the-way Seattle marina, he discovers that three people have been butchered—including the author of the country’s strictest anti-empathy bill, which is just days from being passed into law.

Soon, Reece’s caller arrives: a shadowy government agent known as The Dead Man, who is rumored to deal exclusively in cases involving empathy. He immediately takes over the investigation, locking out both local PD and the FBI, but, strangely, keeps Reece by his side.

As the two track an ever-growing trail of violence and destruction across Seattle, Reece must navigate a scared and angry city, an irritating attraction to his mysterious agent companion, and a rising fear that perhaps empaths like him aren’t all flight and no fight after all…

Great new series.

Looking forward to starting No. 2. Very original with great ‘world concept’! Definitely worth a try.

Great story and narration!

What a creative, compelling story and wonderful characters! The narrator was really excellent as well-at first I was a bit thrown off by his diction, but it grew on me very quickly and I love the voices and tone he lent to the characters. I’m excited to read Book 2!

Almost DNFed, but glad I did.

I can’t say I enjoyed listening to it, but that was because I went in imagining I’ll be getting a romance akin to the author’s previous books.
It is not.
It’s a drama with an overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere throughout. I had to make myself continue several times because of the amount of angst and things just kept turning from bad to worse for the protagonist.
However, it is a well written book that did leave me satisfied.

Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I found Liar City to be funny, fast-paced, and enthralling. Leslie is one of my favorite voice actors, and I loved this performance. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series! I’m not sure where some of the less-than-5-star reviews are coming from. Maybe they’re due to expectations based on Therin’s other books? Possibly there was an expectation of more romance, but this seems like a slow-burn romance series, and those expectations will likely be met in later installments. Also, given Evan’s personality and background, it would be out of character for anything of that nature to develop so quickly.

WOW.

I recognize Joel Leslie's narration from the spin-off of the Big Bad Wolf serie by Charlie Adhara, Pack of Lies.

I'm glad he is getting a whole serie to narrate. His theatrical style of narration really shines here with the humour, the witty banter.

The writing, the story...just WOW. Actually, let me listen to this again...
