Even When You Lie

De: Michelle Cruz

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

Reagan Reyes hunts other people’s secrets. A former intelligence officer, she’s currently the in-house investigator for pricey criminal-defense attorney Cade McCarrick…and she’s his lover, despite the law firm’s rules forbidding romantic relationships between partners and staff. But their love—including their agreement never to lie to each other—is the only authenticity they have in a world of subterfuge and betrayal.

That agreement is pushed to its limits when a mysterious woman leaves an envelope for Cade and is soon discovered dead. While the envelope’s contents aren’t related to any of Cade’s current cases, Reagan uncovers a connection to a recent murder outside a Deep Ellum nightclub—and an even more ominous link to the dead woman. The police don’t seem to care about either death, but they hit too close to home for Reagan to ignore. As she digs deeper into Dallas’s sordid underbelly, she’s completely on her own except for Cade—and there’s a killer bent on eliminating them both at any cost.

This pulse-pounding romantic thriller offers a fresh new take on big-city crime from a dazzling and exciting new voice in the genre.

Loved this story!

Captivating from the first page! Loved the characters and all the twists and turns! Finished in a day. I’m picky about audio book narrators and Nan McNamara did a awesome job for this book! Can’t wait for your next book Michelle!! Congrats on a great one!

Very good debut novel

Ms Cruz can flat write and tell a story. She does put her heroine into some stupid, Lifetime-movie-type situations in this book, but I trust she'll do that less as she gets more confident about her story-telling skills - skills she definitely has!

Having lived in Dallas a long time, I can also attest she really understands the city, which is almost a character rather than just a setting.

I look forward to her next venture!
