Books like Liar, liar by James Patterson

Detective Harriet Blue, once celebrated for her investigative skill, finds her world overturned when Regan Banks, the man she loves, murders the only person she truly cares about. Consumed by grief and fury, Blue abandons protocol, turning into a dangerous outlaw. She breaks into stores, commits theft, assaults a police officer, and evades capture, all while intent on making Regan pay for the lives stolen. Her relentless, chaotic pursuit places her at odds with the police department she once protected. Spanning a tense week, the story follows Blue’s descent from a respected cop to a blood‑thirsty vigilante. With each failed attempt to bring Regan to justice, her actions grow increasingly reckless, turning a tidy mystery into a high‑stakes thriller where the boundaries between right and wrong are relentlessly blurred.
