Maybe you should think twice before updating your status... Detective Lily Blanchette's first case as lead investigator is big: two college students struck down by a theatrical killer. While politicians and the press clamor for quick closure, Lily realizes this case bears frightening similarities to her sister's unsolved murder - a murder her father died trying to solve. Lily's search for answers threatens to destroy her marriage and her remaining family, but she can't quit. To stop the killer, she must avoid becoming the next victim.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I found the characters flat and the story unengaging. The main problem, I think, was there was too much telling and not enough showing. I know that's become quite the cliche to throw out there, but it really does affect how a novel is read, at least to me. I would rather experience a story through action instead of the author's exposition or offhand dialogue ("Oh, by the way, this happened." instead of This is happening!)
The pacing of Led By Lies is challenging. Chapters are very short and rarely contain more than one scene. Made for a very choppy read.
Also my favorite character in the book died way too soon. That person was the most interesting in the story and I was hoping to see a lot more of her.
That all said, I think Lily is potentially a good lead character and I loved reading a story where the characters weren't all white. I hope the rest of the books in the Lies series will improve. ( )
