The King of Lies by John Hart

3.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 - {King of Lies} by John Hart is the story of a North Carolina lawyer, Work, who is told the body of his missing father has been found. Out of fear his sister, Jean, was the killer, Work will do what he needs to for Jean to stay out of prison - even if it means he has to take the fall.

I enjoyed reading King of Lies, and would have enjoyed it more had it not been so terribly long. While the story moves pretty fast, all of the extra description is painful for someone with a low level of patience. I just skipped probably 100 pages in total, and didn’t feel as though I missed anything.

What i DID enjoy about this book is it didn’t end with the Big Reveal like all other books do. I always tend to hate that, because I want to know what life is like once the dust settles for the characters. I will pick up another Hart book, but probably not for awhile. I need less description in my books.
