“A good mystery, action-packed, with an unexpected solution, populated with interesting characters – what more could one ask?”—Crimespree magazine
“Liars, Cheaters & Thieves is the best mystery book I have read in 2011. This is the 5th book in a series, but really, the books have such a great story line, that they are standalones. One of the best things about an LJ Sellers book is I have yet to figure out the ending. This book deserves more than 5 stars, and man did she hit it out of the park with this one!” —Shelia Matthews, reviewer
“L.J. Sellers is one of the few authors I’ve read who just gets better with every book.”—Peg Brantley, mystery author
“Sellers has become one of my must-read authors. Like James Lee Burke, Tim Hallinan, and W.E.B. Griffin there is something about her writing that pulls me into the story and makes the books “unputdownable”. In many ways the plot is fairly straight forward. A young veteran’s throat is slashed in a parking lot. The next morning an older women dies of a heart attack when she realizes her bank account has been cleaned out. The homicide-scene evidence points to the man’s cheating wife, but when Detective Jackson finds bizarre materials in their home and a link to a phony charity, the investigation gets complicated. When another man is killed, Jackson and his team decide to follow the money—but can they find the trail before anyone else is murdered? On the other hand Sellers is able to twist the narrative in such a way that you are constantly working to identify the guilty parties while agonizing with the good guys who are fighting their own battles. If you love a good read, you can’t go wrong with Sellers.”—Jack Quick, reviewing for BookBitch.com
