Truth Stained Lies by Terri Blackstock
4.0
Cathy’s brother is accused of the murder of his wife and the killer made his story sound so ridiculous that it couldn’t possibly be true, right? Along with her friend Michael (a private investigator and former police officer) Cathy and her sisters have to become 'detectives' to figure out the identity of the real killer and clear their brother’s name.
I came into this book with not too many expectations. I love other books from Terri so I was hoping for another good read – and that is what I got! For me it was hard to put down. Yes, I figured out the villain early on, but I didn’t mind that at all. The fun for me is to read how the hero comes to that conclusion themselves. I thought it was a nice change of pace to read something with more simplistic language without taking away the excitement of the mystery.
I enjoy reading a book with Christian themes and issues, but I did feel because of the number of characters and all of them dealing with something, that it was quite a lot to take in. Having said that, I felt Terri did a great job handling how the character processed those issues.
I was also impressed with the real life look into a private investigator’s work. It was great to see a more accurate representation without compromising the excitement you would expect from this type of book.
Overall, I was very happy and I am excited to start the next one in the series and follow the new journey!
