My book club is a big fan of suspense, so choosing Living Lies by Natalie Walters was a no-brainer. The fact that it is set in our home state of Georgia is just icing on the cake. This book was Walters’ debut, and she has since released books 2 and 3 in the Harbored Secrets series — my group will be able to binge read the rest of the series! Have you read Living Lies? We would love to know your thoughts.
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 on the first page and keeps you there until the last in this riveting story that will have you believing no one is defined by their past.
Natalie Walters (in her own words) —
My world revolves around GIJOE and our three adult (or almost adult) children who keep my life anything but predictable. Our boots hit the ground wherever the Army sends us but home is when we’re all together no matter the zipcode. My passion is writing stories where adventure meets love and share my belief that life rooted in purpose is a story worth telling.
I have read it and I loved it!! LOVED the characters so much and think/hope Natalie Walters gave me a better understanding of how difficult depression would be to deal with. I can’t wait to read the next ones as well! I suspect she’ll be one of my favorite romantic suspense authors.
I actually read book 2 first. Looking forward to going back to the beginning. Thanks for sharing!
