Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear
4.0

Police procedural that takes place at Christmastime but without any cozy Christmas vibes that I like in December. Catrina is morally gray. She’s a cop but she doesn’t spill her secrets or suspicions when a woman from her past (and her father’s) turns up murdered.
The writing took me at least 15% before I got into it. Hard to explain but to my American ears, the author’s words were more British than I am used to. Definitely some vocabulary that I haven’t seen before. Her sentence structure caused me to reread paragraphs on more than one occasion. For example, if I am used to seeing 1 2 3 4 5 6, then the sentence might be written 1 2 4 5 3 6. I said it’s hard to explain.
