You are right. There are lots of liars in mysteries and suspenseful fiction these days. Probably lots of other bad guys, too. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all your reading this week!
I've been reading a fair amount of thrillers lately and The Truth Behind the Lie sounds promising.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the cover of The Flower Arrangement!
ReplyDeleteI like the multicultural aspect of The Truth Behind the Lie, a detective/PI with a difference is hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
It does seem like a common theme these days!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your reads this week! Have a good one! :)
Wouldn't it be nice if there could be at least a lot more diversity in our book titles, so that they don't all feel like they are the same book when you look back many months later? Hope you are having a good reading week!
