Don't Lie to Me

Eva Rae Thomas, Book 1

De: Willow Rose

Narrado por: HotGhost Productions, Kendra Lee Oberhauser

When 12-year-old Sophie Williams went on a Girl Scout summer camp, she never returned home. Three months later, her body is found inside her sleeping bag in the most frequented area of Cocoa Beach, and the town is outraged. The girl isn't just any child. She's the town's most beloved surf idol, and it was believed that she could be the next Kelly Slater.

As another child, the son of a well-known senator, is kidnapped, and the parents receive a disturbing video, FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas—who has just returned to her hometown, divorced and out of a job—plunges into the investigation, breaking her promise to her children not to do police work again.

Local law enforcement, with her old flame Matt Miller in charge, are the ones who ask for her help in a case so unsettling that only she can solve it. But the deeper they dig, the deadlier it becomes for Matt and Eva Rae. Soon, everyone she holds dear is in grave danger as this case hits a little too close to home.

Don’t Lie to Me is the first book in the Eva Rae Thomas Mystery series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

great mystery

Loved it!!!!!!!! If you like mysteries with twists you'll like this one. And of course a happy ending😁

Too implausible

This felt like I was watching an unbelievable movie. That’s ok when it is supposed to be like that but not when it’s supposed to be a regular story. I just could never believe people would act/react or say the things they did in this book. It’s not horrible, just not great

Good story, LIFELESS narration!

Good book, but the narration (with no inflection) ruined it! I struggled to finish it.

Too grisly

Ms Rose writes a so-so story of intrigue and family dysfunction, performed mostly well, except for some weird pronunciations like calling a female Dawn Don, confusing because she also calls a male character, Don, Don also.

Her FBI star is pretty messed up, trading her family for career, and reliving her sad childhood as her primary motivation for her career. But Rose uses macabre, grisly details to give her otherwise frustrating, sometimes highschoolish story, the drama it sorely needs. Unfortunately it’s too much. It’s as if the author read a profiler’s casebook and just can’t help sharing ever morbid picture.

Yes the CSI and Criminal Minds aficionados will probably lap it up, but I won’t be wanting more of these psychologically damaged characters. We need somebody normal to carry us to a better place, at least for some of the story. Even the di Kerri Ed are filled with fast food delivery, candy, junk food and some weird vegan meals nobody eats. The meals actually reflect the story’s main flaw: no substance and no redeeming health to sink our teeth into.

The plot was too convenient

The narrator was ok, I just wasn’t that impressed with the story, especially the ending. It just seemed to convenient to me. The characters reactions to the ending did not seem realistic.

What a crazy twist ending!!

I greatly enjoyed this book by Willow Rose. It kept my interest throughout - a definite page turner.

Eva Marie is in a new and uncomfortable situation. To make matters worse , children are going missing. can they find the killer before another child is lost? Fast-paced and well- written. The narrator did anexcellent job. I highly recommend this book.

hokey

thank goodness for the narrator. a pleasant, well modulated voice that you don't mind listening to. the story line, so unrealistic. everything happening in too timely a manner. no real suspense but at least it was free. the only way I'll discover if her writing improves is if I get another one free.

Great Series

Her stories are always packed with many cases.She brings you suspects, false information, then manages to tie it all together, to one person. They can be confusing at the different chapters of where and who they are. Her stories are different, and a no stopping is allowed when one starts.
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Don't lie to me. by Will Rose

I loved this Book, want wait to read the next in the series. Thank you

Excellent Series Opener

I have always liked Willow Rose, but this new series is superb. I never thought I'd see her write non-horror or non-supernatural, but I am glad I have.

I like the lead chatacter of Eva Rae a lot.She's former FBI turned crime writer. It sets her up for great story telling.

The narrator was excellent, too, although no name is given.
