Georges (that S is silent), named after Georges Seurat, a
French artist, is a loner. The name certainly doesn’t help. He finds somewhat
of a place after meeting Safer, a boy who lives in the same apartment complex
as him. Safer gives Georges the mission of uncovering the mystery that is Mr.
X, a man that has been observed to lead people into his apartment, but never
lead them out. Georges jumps in feet first. Being a detective of sorts offers
much needed distraction from the fact that he rarely sees his Mom due to her
odd hours at the hospital, he doesn’t have much of a place at school, and his
Dad’s job prospects are few and far between.
Though, Liar & Spy lacked any real surprises, it does make us
question how far we should go for a friend and how much we should ask of our
friends. It’s good to realize that we all perceive situations, relationships,
and stories differently based on our previous experiences and personalities.
So, sometimes the mystery is not quite as dense as once thought. At times, the
mystery is us.
