Blackstock did excellet work in her newest book Truth Stained Lies. The story had me hooked after the first chapter, and I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Jay Cramer has been framed for the murder of his x-wife, but the police only see the evidence left by the real killer. Cramer's three siblings take up the task of finding the evidence that can get Jay off the hook. Meanwhile Jay's sisters are facing their own struggles. Holly just found out she was pregnant and doesn't even know who the father is. Juliet has a faltering marriage. And finally Cathy is recieving threatening letters because of a blog she writes. With all of these issues combined how can the family come together to find who the real killer is.
The story was full of suspense, I was constantly trying to figure out who was responsible for the murder. There are hints throughout the story who the actual perp is, but it is not until the final chapters in the book that it all becomes clear. Blackstock did a great job continuing the suspense even after the identity of the killer was given. With hostages, dying children and shoot-outs the stories conclusion is just as intense as the beginning chapters of the book.
I thought this book was extremely well written, and I am very excited to see where the next books in the Moonlighters Series will lead. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery story. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, I enjoyed virtually everything about this story. Well done Blackstock!
