Book: One Little Lie

Author: Colleen Coble

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: March 3, 2020

It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover the truth in this gripping new romantic suspense.

Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there’s no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she’s facing someone out to destroy the only family she has.

After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?

Reid Bechtol is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane’s career. Jane has little interest in the attention, but the committee who appointed her loves the idea of the publicity.

Jane finds herself depending on Reid’s calm manner as he follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them may be impossible to cross—especially once her father’s lie catches up with him.

My thoughts (LVH): ONE LITTLE LIE is written by one of my favorite romantic suspense writers, Colleen Coble. I did figure out a lot of the secrets the characters hid, but there were some twists I never saw coming. As per usual, the story starts with a lot of seemingly unrelated storylines, but stay with it because they all tie together at the end and getting there is half the fun.

The story never got terribly scary. There is some creepiness. It is very fast paced though, so once you start you won't want to stop reading. The romance is weak, tacked in there, but very backseat to the suspense.

I love Ms. Coble's books and am anxiously waiting for the next one to get the rest of the story. This does not end on a satisfactory note.

I was given an ecopy free, and all opinions are my own.
