Hi mystery fans!
Sponsored by Living Lies by Natalie Walters and Revell Books, a Division of Baker Publishing Group.
In the little town of Walton, Georgia, everybody knows your name—but no one knows your secret. At least that’s what Lane Kent is counting on when she returns to her hometown with her five-year-old son. Dangerously depressed after the death of her husband, Lane is looking for hope. What she finds instead is a dead body. Lane must work with Walton’s newest deputy, Charlie Lynch, to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when that truth hits too close to home, she’ll have to decide if saving the life of another is worth the cost of revealing her darkest secret.

A Bit Of My Week In Reading
I just finished: The Smiling Man by Joseph Knox (For fans of dark British procedurals that walk the moral line.); Wherever She Goes by Kelley Armstrong (A thriller that made the “hot mess” lead not a jerk-face nor self-destructive, in a refreshing way.)
I plan to spend the entire weekend floating and reading: Five Midnights by Ann Dávila Cardinal (Mystery/horror set in Puerto Rico–sí, please!); Grab a Snake by the Tail by Leonardo Padura (Detective series set in Cuba, double sí, please!); Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman (I really enjoyed Sunburn and am going into this one knowing nothing about it–excited!)
