Publisher's summary

In the little town of Walton, Georgia, everybody knows your name - but no one knows your secret. At least that's what Lane Kent is counting on when she returns to her hometown with her five-year-old son. Dangerously depressed after the death of her husband, Lane is looking for hope. What she finds instead is a dead body. 

Lane must work with Walton's newest deputy, Charlie Lynch, to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when that truth hits too close to home, she'll have to decide if saving the life of another is worth the cost of revealing her darkest secret. 

Debut novelist Natalie Walters pulls you to the edge of your seat in the first moments and keeps you there until the last in this riveting story that will have you believing no one is defined by their past.

Truly Great All Around!

I enjoyed this listen because it had it all. Well done suspense that held through to the end. Healthy and ideal courtship and love story surrounding believable characters. Superb easy listening narration. Sub theme to story deals with PTSD, Depression, Difficul family dynamics and ways to get through the challenges of each.

Keeps you wanting more!

A very relatable message. A nice romantic mystery that allows the reader to get close to the characters.

Good! Kept me guessing!

When this book started out I wasn't thrilled with it but it grew on me really fast. at one point in a car accident saying I found myself with both my hands up on my cheeks and my eyes filled with tears! So it was written and read very well.

Could not put down!

Excellent book. I could not stop listening and when I wasn't listening, I was anticipating what was going to happen next!

Nonstop Heart Pounding

Living Lies keeps you on the edge from beginning to end. The suspense, romance, regrets, understanding, love, so many emotions flow from the pages that connects you to each of the characters. You don’t want the story to end so now I must wait for the next book to be released.

Love!

I love the suspense, sarcasm, family values, close nit community, and realness of the characters. My favorite part is the struggles that they personally encounter within and spiritual battles they face. I love how God's love wins in the end which is true to real life. Can't wait to get more of this author's books!

Easy read

I like the narrator she did a good job and the story was entertaining and light

Author meant well

3 stars is generous. 1 is given because the story is wholesome. I have difficulty with books that are so thin on plot and so thick with constant comments about the attraction main characters are experiencing. If all the numerous and repetitious narrative about ' he looked at me and I stopped breathing". Or, " He said my name and my knees went weak, my head spun and my stomach lurched...
Etc. Etc. Etc. The book would have been very brief.
The bad character is obvious ( and I am not that good).
The family that is a characature of everything wrong becomes unrealistically loving and supportive as everything gets mashed into a saccharin much finish.
I recommend avoiding this book.

Well isn't that special!

When reading the summary for this book I must have missed the part that mentioned that it would be a romance mystery, which is just not my thing. I did listen to all of it, however, and the story was well developed. The narrator did a very good job. Very pleasant voice. So if this is your genre, you will enjoy it. Damsel in distress, hunky, well muscled, handsome rescuer/lover, and the women always concerned that the men always get plenty to eat (homemade of course), and always fresh cinnamon rolls and cobbler. Too much!

Good but not great

I think the overall story was good but there were a few times it lost my attention.

Easy to listen to and lots to think about

This was not only a nice story of love and friendship helping conquering the obstacles of life but also a stark reminder that we never know what’s going on in other peoples lives and what demons people face.

Judgement, polarisation and hatred of people being different will not bring peace and happiness only empathy and understanding and tolerance can.

It was easy to feel with and for the main characters and feel them growing in strength . Being full of suspense and action as well as emotions did help keeping with the story and routing for the HEA.

why did I buy this? it was so bad,

the most trite piece of rubbish! Toe curling and pathetic. save your credits. oh, and buyer beware...lots of religious references.

Easy listening

A well-told murder mystery and romance with a message of encouragement for all those struggling with trauma or guilt.
