Review of One Little Lie by Colleen Coble

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover the truth. 

Book one in a gripping new series from USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble.

When Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, there's no time for an adjustment period. He is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, and Jane quickly realizes she's facing someone out to destroy her father.

They escaped from a cult fifteen years ago, and Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?

Reid Bechtol is a well-known journalist who makes documentaries, and his sights are currently set on 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 taping his documentary, 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.

It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover the truth.
 

My Review:

4 Stars

Small towns are relentless. When one solid opinion forms the majority usually follow it..truth be damned. This is exactly what Jane faces with her recent appointment to interim sheriff. 

Jane is not only receiving a somewhat icy reception, but she is also now tasked with trying to absolve her father of murder charges that just couldn't be true. Yet she's the only one who seems to be looking through the evidence that is stacking up against him. 

With an unlikely new sidekick, Jane runs head first into family secrets and secrets held by others that may just have a huge impact on her investigation. 

Twisting and turning, One Little Lie will have you guessing up until the end. Can't wait to see what's in store in the next installment.
