One Little Lie by Colleen Coble - Review of the first book in the Pelican Harbor series


 


BACK  OF  THE  BOOK BLURB

IT STRTED 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 Dixon 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 them all.


MY  REVIEW

WOW, just WOW!! The prologue was intriguing, then the story began. I was confused for a short time but soon figured it out and the author pulled me in slowly, then a little faster, faster, and the last few chapters I could not put the book down until I finished it.

I have enjoyed Colleen Coble's books since I happened upon one several years ago and she has not disappointed me yet. This is a must read and I am anxiously waiting to read the second one in the series to see where things go from here.
