SWEET LITTLE LIES

Reviewed by Patti Loveday
Posted September 28, 2018

Thriller Psychological

SWEET LITTLE LIES is a gripping and captivating thriller with hidden secrets lurking around every corner. You never know what is just beyond the next page. Can Cat find out what happened to Maryanne all those years ago, exactly what part her father played in her disappearance AND solve a motiveless murder at the same time? You will have to read to find out!

The characters are well-developed and are what truly makes this storyline one you will remember long after reading. Caz Frear has created a list of characters that stand out and shine making them relatable. The conversations between the characters are so realistic that you will remember them as if it was a real conversation with a friend. They all stand tall, each one an individual.

SWEET LITTLE LIES is full of so many delicious secrets! A story that is intertwined with mystery and darkness that slowly come to light at just the right moment making you second guess everything. I was immediately drawn in from the beginning and found it hard to put down. I just had to know how this mystery was going to end. I was surprised by the ending that was a complete shocker for me.

The plot is sure to keep you on your toes because you never truly know who is telling the truth and who is lying. It's a gripping read, full of suspense and intrigue, chock full of lies and deceit from a sometimes dubious cast of characters. SWEET LITTLE LIES is a spellbinding read that is full of mystery, suspense, lies, and deceit making it a novel I recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery.

SUMMARY

In this gripping debut procedural, a young London policewoman must probe dark secrets buried deep in her own family’s past to solve a murder and a long-ago disappearance. Your father is a liar. But is he a killer? Even liars tell the truth . . . sometimes. Twenty-six-year-old Cat Kinsella overcame a troubled childhood to become a Detective Constable with the Metropolitan Police Force, but she’s never been able to banish these ghosts. When she’s called to the scene of a murder in Islington, not far from the pub her estranged father still runs, she discovers that Alice Lapaine, a young housewife who didn’t get out much, has been found strangled. Cat and her team immediately suspect Alice’s husband, until she receives a mysterious phone call that links the victim to Maryanne Doyle, a teenage girl who went missing in Ireland eighteen years earlier. The call raises uneasy memories for Cat—her family met Maryanne while on holiday, right before she vanished. Though she was only a child, Cat knew that her charming but dissolute father wasn’t telling the truth when he denied knowing anything about Maryanne or her disappearance. Did her father do something to the teenage girl all those years ago? Could he have harmed Alice now? And how can you trust a liar even if he might be telling the truth? Determined to close the two cases, Cat rushes headlong into the investigation, crossing ethical lines and trampling professional codes. But in looking into the past, she might not like what she finds. . . .
