I always find Colleen Coble books suspenseful and jump on the chance to read one of hers and this one fits the bill. It starts off with Button, a young girl in a cult giving birth to a baby boy. Almost immediately her baby is snatched from her arms and she is later told the baby died. The story jumps 15 years in a small town, Pelican Harbor which is in the Mobile, Alabama area.. Jane Hardy has been recently appointed as sheriff there. Almost immediately a gruesome torso is found on a boat, Another woman in the town is found shortly after that. Jane has her hands full trying to solve the murder. Reid Bechtol, a well-know journalist breezes into town with his son but Reid is harboring a secret. Does the secret have to do with the recent murders or does it have to do with the events that had happened 15 years prior? I figured out Reid's secret pretty early in the book but I had no idea who the murderer was. I never did figure out the mystery until the end. I had no clue. This murder was solved but the repercussions of Reid's secrets will continue in the next book which will be released in the summer of 2020. I can't wait to read this book! One Little Lie is to be released on March 3, 2020.I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
