Little Black Lies

Little Black Lies by Sharon Bolton Summary: In such a small community as the Falkland Islands, a missing child is unheard of. In such a dangerous landscape it can only be a terrible tragedy, surely... When another child goes missing, and then a third, it's no longer possible to believe that their deaths were accidental, and the villagers must admit that there is a murderer among them. Even Catrin Quinn, a damaged woman living a reclusive life after the accidental deaths of her own two sons a few years ago, gets involved in the searches and the speculation. And suddenly, in this wild and beautiful place that generations have called home, no one feels safe and the hysteria begins to rise. But three islanders--Catrin, her childhood best friend, Rachel, and her ex-lover Callum--are hiding terrible secrets. And they have two things in common: all three of them are grieving, and none of them trust anyone, not even themselves. In Little Black Lies, her most shocking and engaging suspense novel to date, Sharon Bolton will keep the reader guessing until the very last page. Angie's Comments: Little Black Lies is not a cozy mystery – it is violent in thought and action. The violent thoughts are dark, and just when you think you have things figured out, the last page throws out one last haunting thought. The book is divided into three parts, going through Catrin’s, Callum’s, and Rachel’s perspectives. Although viewing the same events through three different views can be a little repetitive, especially with Callum, reading Catrin’s view and then Rachel’s is very interesting. I can’t say I liked the characters, but I did wish them the best in trying circumstances. Recommended for readers interested in troubled minds.    Request this item
