Audiobook Review: Liar's Creek (Clay Hawkins #1) by Matt Goldman; Narrated by Fred Berman


Blurb from Goodreads:
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.
 
I enjoyed this a lot and am looking forward to more from this series.  The characters were nuanced and the story was fairly interesting.  I enjoyed the narrator. Give this a try!

Liar's Creek comes out next week on April 21, 2026 and you can purchase HERE.  
Riverwood, Minnesota, has four stoplights, two beauty salons, nine bars, one barber shop, seven restaurants, one Center for the Arts, two hardware stores, one bakery, one police station, three auto repair shops, and one missing person.
It also has a handful of salmon—salmon being the nickname for residents who leave Riverwood only to return years later. One of those salmon is Clay Hawkins. Clay was gone for twenty-four years and did quite well for himself, so it's a bit odd that he moved back three months ago. But Clay has his reasons. One of them is riding shotgun in Clay's F-150 as he navigates the narrow winding roads and one-lane bridges of Fillmore County. His son, Braedon, is twelve years old and looks a little too much like his mother for Clay's comfort. Blue eyes and fair skin and black hair that glistens red when the sun hits it just right.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton...
