From Booklist
In the eighth Brodie Farrell mystery, Brodie, who runs a finders agency in the UK called “Looking for Something?” is called upon to find a star sapphire. This stone is tied to tragedy—it was given by a young man to his love just before they were the victims of a planned vehicular homicide. A driver ran them over, leaving the young man killed and the woman paralyzed. Before leaving, the driver grabbed the sapphire necklace; before his arrest, he fenced it. The mother of the convicted murderer wants Brodie to locate the jewels so she can return them to the young woman. This holds together a mystery that constantly threatens to spiral out of control. Brodie’s main quest is to find a cure for her infant son’s inoperable brain cancer. This tragedy seems greatly overplayed, because the devastated Brodie still finds time for the sapphire hunt (even with the help of an assistant) and a complicated love life. Only for readers interested in following the series in its entirety. --Connie Fletcher

Liars All,
This review is from: Liars All: A Brodie Farrell Mystery (Brodie Farrell Mysteries) (Hardcover)
A tragic car accident. A missing necklace. A local mobster. An infant with an incurable disease. This book has enough twists and sub-plots to keep anyone's brain whirring. This mystery was more interesting than Laughed 'Till He Died. I enjoyed the British setting and the twists in the plot, especially toward the end. Many authors, myself included, have a wretched end game. It is very difficult to write the last chapter of a book - the problems are all solved, the characters are well-known, all the loose ends are tied up. But this book had a satisfying ending, and not one that dragged out long after the denouement, either. I will probably see if the public library has any more books by this author.

Another in the outstanding Brodie Farrell series - the characters are so intricately drawn and human - you won't be able to put it down.

Time to End This Series,
By Jandsarah (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liars All: A Brodie Farrell Mystery (Brodie Farrell Mysteries) (Hardcover)
This series seems to have run its course. The characters in the earlier books, especially Brodie Farrell, were refreshing and the plots captured the reader's interest. Sadly, the characters have become intensely self-centered and endlessly self-analytical (especially that pseudo-saintly bore Daniel Hood) while the who-done-it tension is almost nonexistent. I did finish Liars All in the hope that it somehow would improve as the pages turned but no such luck.
