Description from the publisher:

On the afternoon of May 11, 1996, ValuJet 592 plunged into the Florida Everglades. There were no survivors. But something came through the crash unscathed: a small box with huge implications for humankind. And the one man unlucky enough to discover its whereabouts disappeared without a trace.

Now, 20 years later, the mystery of Flight 592 hits close to home for Del Honeycutt and bestselling mystery author Sabrina Spencer. A shocking revelation launches them into the middle of a dark conspiracy, and locating the box becomes a matter of life or death. They are not alone in the hunt for the mysterious parcel and very quickly learn that others will stop at nothing to find it and will eliminate anyone who stands in their way.

With killers hot on their trail, Del and Sabrina must navigate dangers lurking both above and below the swamp waters of the Everglades in order to find the box … and to survive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
SECRETS & LIES is the fourth 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.

It’s a shame that the author didn’t include notes about this being based on fact.  ValuJet Flight 592 did crash into the Everglades on May 11, 1996, due to improperly stored cargo starting a fire.  All 100 people onboard were lost.

I adored this fast-paced, suspense-filled, edge-of-my-seat, run-full-tilt story that was filled with secrets and lies.  The title was a perfect fit!

Add in that they are visiting my home state for most of the book and I was a smiling girl.  Alligators and swamp boats!!! I’m on for the ride!!!  This was an adventure with critters, bullets, and rednecks.

Our four favorite characters, Del, Sabrina, Mo, and Seymour, have each been the focus of a book now.  I look forward to where this series may branch out.

Narration:  I have grown to love to listen to Greg Hernandez read me a story.  I hope he will return for the next in the series and that I will be blessed with a copy.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audiobookworm Promotions, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

oh, and this has little to do with the book, but... just for fun:


Trivia:  In case you listened (or are planning to) and don't know the difference.  An Alligator has a C shaped nose and a Crocodile has an A shaped nose.  The question is posed in the book, but not answered.  So, now you know.
