The last couple of weeks or so, I’ve really picked up my reading pace and achieving a good number of books read and reviewed. I’m not sure how long it will last-life tends to get in the way-but I’m encouraged and I’m really enjoying what I’m reading. I’m almost through with “The Lies They Told” by Ellen Marie Wiseman and I recently picked up “One Little Lie” (Pelican Harbor #1) by Colleen Coble from NetGalley. I thought why not since I’ve never read this author’s work before. So far, it is an interesting read. I’m also working my way through “Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Empire” by Eckart Frahm.

I’ve turned in a review to the Publishers through NetGalley for “The Man in the Stone Cottage” by Stephanie Cowell and my review will be posted on September 13^th here on Layered Page. There will also be a couple reviews coming up shortly. Excited!

One Little Lie by Colleen Coble

Published Date: Mar 03 2020

Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there’s no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes someone is attempting to destroy the only family she has.

After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother–who refused to leave–ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?

Reid Dixon is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves 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 filming, 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–especially once her father’s lie catches up with him.
