3 Truths and a Lie

A Detective D. D. Warren Story

De: Lisa Gardner

Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

In Lisa Gardner's second short story, after the New York Times bestseller The 7th Month, Detective D.D. Warren takes on her most intimidating assignment yet: a fifty-minute class meant to educate a horde of bloodthirsty thriller writers on the ways of actual police work. Yet sometimes life really does imitate fiction, as D.D. takes the writers through the reality of one of her most twisted cases - a case that involves a seedy motel room, drugs, prostitution...and a severed leg.

With Gardner's trademark suspense, sharp observations, and thrilling storytelling, 3 Truths and a Lie is a fascinating chapter in D.D.'s storied career.

She engages her audience to get their input on what she should have done next at each point in the case. Kirsten Potter does her normal great job of narration. The short story is free at Audible. The short story is followed by the first two chapters of Find Her, the D. D. Warren thriller to be released on Feb. 9, 2016.

Witty and Clever

Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren is asked to do a presentation to a group of thriller writers about police procedure. When she turns and faces the room, D. D. abandons her plan and decides to tell a story about a recent, bizarre case and ask the group to figure out the three truths and a lie.

I’m not a fan of novellas but this one was pretty clever. It’s too short for me to provide more details without spoiling it for other readers but what I can share is I was just as engaged as the group in that conference room and enjoyed how she singled out some of my favorite, real life authors. I attempted to guess the answers, too, and the narrator brought a level of wit that made this fun.

Interesting but maybe not worth it

The story was interesting as as always by Lisa Gardner, very well written. However, the length is only 1 hour and 20 minutes, the last 20 minutes are prologue to the next novel. So although it was very good, I don’t think I would pay as much as I did to listen had i known how short it would be.

liked it

Very good short story. Kept my interest and I like the tone of the narrator's voice.

Very interesting

I found this to be a very refreshing take on the murder/mystery genre. I am hoping there are more like this one as I would happily listen to more. The only thing that let me down was 'the lie'. Quite a let down after such a build up but didn't distract too much from the over all experience of the book. Great narration with a very easy listening voice.
