Catrin Quinn has had a rough last three years. Rachel,
her best friend, was watching her two children and ran into
a house for a second. Within minutes, the car rolls down
the hill and into water and both children are dead. Three
years later, all Catrin can think about is revenging their
deaths and killing
Rachel.
Now in the small town of Falkland Islands another child
has gone missing. This is the third child in three
years which is extremely unusual for the small community.
Catrin, feels bad about the children, but is
still grieving over the loss of her children. Her ex-lover,
Callum, convinces Catrin to go with him to an old
wrecked ship as a diversion. What they discover there is
heartbreaking, the corpse of one of the missing
children. While trying to recover from this new development,
Callum
talks her into going out walking, they come across another
child, but this one is
alive. Now Catrin is the main suspect.
While Catrin
is being questioned, Callum is trying hard to
remember what happened as he has been known
to have black outs. So Catrin is confessing when Rachel
steps up to the plate and claims she did it. Little
Black Lies hurt everyone.
Sharon Bolton's novel has several twists and turns. Most
of them I didn't see coming. To me this is what makes a
great read. There were so many twists, that at times I
did have to go back and reread some parts. However,
saying this, LITTLE BLACK LIES keeps your attention and is a
great book.
Sharon Bolton also shows just how important friendship
is. Even though these three characters had not spoken
to each other for over three years, they all stepped up to
the plate to help each other. I also enjoyed
Bolton's description of the scenery. Made me want to make
travel plans. While some of the questions still remain
unanswered,
LITTLE BLACK LIES is a great story. Summer is here. Image
yourself sitting by the pool and reading this mystery. You
won't be sorry.
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.
