Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear
4.0
RATING 4.5 STARS
2017; Bonnier Zaffre (NG) 2018; Harper/HarperCollins
I loved this British mystery/police procedural! Sweet Little Lies has been sitting on my shelf for a while, and I am kicking myself for not reading this one earlier. It was such a page turner for me. The mystery, the characters and the overall story was just fantastic. Cat Kinsella is my new favourite police detective. She is Detective Constable, but comes from a family that avoids the police. Her dad is a shady character whom she loves and hates in equal measures. Her siblings and her are not close, and she finds herself barely together. When the victim of her next murder, turns out to be a girl from her old neighbourhood, Cat finds herself not being the honourable cop she thought she was. While this is a great police procedural, we get more of Cat's background and family which I think added to the story. I cannot wait to read the next two books in the series. If you enjoy mysteries, add this one to your list. Frear's writing reminds me a bit like Karin Slaughter's novels.
