Twisted Lies by Angela Marsons
4.0
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Each time I read a new Kim Stone book, I expect that it may be the one to disappoint me. Every series has at least one! So far, I've loved every single one of the books in the series, and this one was no exception!
We find Kim Stone with her normal team investigating a crazy weird (and grotesque) murder using a torture method. The victim's family is clearly hiding something, and then they disappear. As DI Stone and the team are trying to find the family, another body in a different jurisdiction turns up. And then another. They have to unravel what is going on to find a very depraved murdered.
There is a second plot string involving Frost using her position as an investigative journalist to try to overcome the PR machine that has wound up behind a man on trial for murdering his wife. There was a hung jury in the first trial, and Frost is concerned that he'll get away with it, so she works against long odds and lots of danger to bring the victim and what happened to her to life for the readers.
Solid story, fast-paced, and suspenseful. I love the continued character development, especially with Kim and Stacey. I'd love to see a little more about Penn in the next one.
