Matt Goldman discusses Liar’s Creek

Matt Goldman told Barbara Peters, owner of The Poisoned Pen, that he’s only been to Scottsdale once when it was under 100 degrees. That was in the winter. They discussed Goldman’s earlier books before talking about his latest, Liar’s Creek. It’s going to the first in a series, but all the books will be standalones, featuring some of the same characters, but other characters will step forward as the main ones. There are signed copies of Liar’s Creek available in the Webstore, https://tinyurl.com/3xvs9apm.

Here’s the description of Liar’s Creek.

From New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winner Matt Goldman comes Liar’s Creek, which asks how far we’ll go to protect the people we love.

Riverwood, Minnesota is a scenic town threaded with trout streams carving their way through limestone bluffs. But beneath its picturesque facade, danger runs rampant.

Clay Hawkins isn’t a stranger to the secrets of his hometown. After twenty years away, Clay has recently returned home from abroad with his twelve-year-old son, and his relationship with his father, the recently replaced sheriff, is as strained as ever.

But when Clay’s beloved uncle disappears, the three generations of Hawkinses must overturn every stone in Riverwood and confront deep familial wounds to find the one person who brings them together. As danger looms, Clay worries that it might be too late to save his uncle—and that the rest of the family might be next.
