Little Bitty Lies

De: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrado por: Debra Monk

In a suburban Atlanta neighborhood where divorce is as rampant as kudzu, Mary Bliss McGowan doesn't notice that her own marriage is in trouble until the summer night she finds a note from her husband, telling her he's gone. Stunned and humiliated, a desperate Mary Bliss, left behind with 17-year-old daughter Erin and a mountain of debt, decides to salvage what's left of her life by telling one little bitty lie. At first she simply tells friends and family that Parker is out of town on a consulting job. Then, the lies start to snowball, until Parker turns up dead. Or does he?

Mary Bliss's formerly staid existence careens into overdrive as she copes with an oversexed teenager, an elderly mother-in-law with strange delusions, and the sudden but delicious shock of finding herself pursued by two men; the next-door neighbor who's looking for a suitable second wife, and a dangerously attractive ex-cop who's looking for the truth about Parker McGowan.

Little Bitty Lies is a comic Southern novel about all the important things in life: marriage and divorce, mothers and daughters, friendship and betrayal, small-town secrets, and one woman's lifelong quest for home. And the perfect recipe for chicken salad.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This supremely entertaining story sets Andrews up to be a southern Susan Isaacs....A breezy story fairly brimming with good spirits and feisty humor." (Booklist)

Mary Kay Andrews is the best!

This story was so interesting to listen to. The shocking behavior, the romance, and humor. I enjoyed the storyline and having it read to me. very good..

Good read

It was enjoyable and had alot of plot twists. I would recommend it.

Cute enough but…

This story is average all the way around.
Average writing at best, average plot, average performance.
I might have felt like I wasted my time, but it was pretty short, so…

Hmmm

This is a good book, if you can get past the narrator. There are lines that should be funny, if only they were read in the rye voice they in which they were written. If you want to enjoy this book, listen closely and try to hear past the voice of the narrator.

Entertaining

This was entertaining but not a real mind blower. I may try another of her books but maybe not.

Hes a Jerk

2nd time reading this!

I found this book to be entertained with all its southern charm. I am definetly going to buy a real copy.

Quick and Good

While this is not a story full of thought provoking ideas or interesting fact, it is very entertaining. Funny and a quick listen.

What is with all the abridged books???

I love Mary Kay Andrews’ books and have read most. It’s so disappointing to revisit a fave in audio format only to discover that it’s abridged to the point of barely telling the story. Ugh

Great Read

This book made me laughed so much. The story line kept me captivated from the beginning till the end. Mary Kay Andrews is one of my favorite authors. She didn’t disappoint with this book either.
