Description from the publisher:
Daisy Leduc was forgotten and alone.
That was just how she wanted it. But when she is discovered stabbed to death in
a dusty little Texas town, it plunges Del Honeycutt and best-selling mystery
author Sabrina Spencer into a 30-year-old mystery involving murder, hidden
identities, dangerous family secrets, political intrigue, and a long-forgotten
serial killer.
Daisy’s estranged daughter, who
hasn't seen her mother in years, receives a package sent shortly before her
mother's death. A note instructs her to immediately contact Sabrina and give
her the package if Daisy is killed. But why Sabrina? The temptation to uncover
the answer leads Del and Sabrina on a dangerous quest to find Daisy's killer.
When they discover Daisy, under a different name, supposedly died 30 years
earlier, they find themselves squarely in the cross hairs of killers whose
deadly secrets lie in Daisy's mysterious past.

(5 for the story & 4 for the narration)
FATAL LIES is the second 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.
Sabrina spent six years in prison
for a murder she did not commit. Of
course, we readers are curious about that time spent there. Most authors would gloss over that as the
past and isn’t she so happy and well-adjusted now. Instead, Andrew Cunningham has brought out
the spiders and the boogeymen. No, this
book isn’t really about Sabrina’s past, but it does spend a lot of focus on her
time and the women in the prison with her.
Some belong there; some don’t; all are still people.
I enjoyed listening to this second
book in the series and delighted that I committed myself to the series. This is turning out to be a fun week of
suspense and suspended reality.
I was disappointed that there were
no reader notes regarding historical facts for this story. I guess I was spoiled by the first book in
the series.
Narration: Greg Hernandez’s
narration style continues to remind me of the old film noire announcers and is
appropriate for the story. I don’t know
if he has gotten better or I’ve become accustomed to his presentation, but I
liked him better in this second book.
I’m looking forward to the next few days and the next few books.
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.
