Description from the publisher:
"I come from a long line of
idiots."
Those were the last words his father uttered before dying, and from what he knew of his family tree and the unfortunate end that came to so many of his ancestors, Del Honeycutt couldn't disagree. What he didn't know was that his family held dark secrets—secrets that were about to come crashing down upon him.
A seemingly innocent date gone tragically wrong plunges Del into a web of murder, lies, greed, and a hidden fortune dating back to a crime committed 85 years earlier by his great-grandfather.
Accompanied by Sabrina, the sister of Del's brutally murdered date, a violent journey of discovery and fear begins. Pursued by vicious killers intent on eliminating anyone with knowledge of the 85-year-old crime, their only hope of survival is to find the reasons behind the original crime and why, decades later, someone is still willing to kill to keep it hidden.
But Sabrina is concealing a monstrous lie of her own. Is she who she says she is?

(5 for the story & 3 for the narration)
ALL LIES is the first book in the Lies
series. Though each mystery will stand
on its own, the series is a continuing relationship between Sabrina and Del. I strongly recommend reading the series in
the order of release.
This story spans three generations
of “idiots,” thieves, and murderers.
There is romance, suspense, treasure hunting, twists, and danger. This is the reason to occasionally put down
the “bodice rippers” and read a little something different!
I absolutely adore that this is
based in historical facts. The research
must have been fun, extensive, and its own jigsaw puzzle. If you love the based-on-fact story, read/listen
to the notes at the end; I found it fascinating!
Narration: Greg Hernandez’s
narration style reminds me of the old film noire announcers. That’s very difficult to maintain for seven
plus hours (and at times a bit on the boring side), but appropriate to the
genre. If this isn’t his first book, I’d
be incredibly surprised. He doesn’t have
pause and emphasis of word choice mastered as yet. It was probably a cold read as well.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook
copy via Audiobookworm Promotions Adopt-an-Audiobook, my opinions are my own
and are given freely.
