One Little Lie ~ Review

One Little Lie
Pelican Harbor #1
By Colleen Coble

Jane Hardy has never fully healed from her past - a past that left her with a hole in her heart and a mistrust of anything dealing with religion. For the past 15 years, Jane and her father have lived as if the past never happened, making a home in Pelican Harbor, Alabama. With her father's retirement from the police force Jane is offered the position of interim sheriff, though not without a few ruffled feathers. And with her new position, she is to be shadowed by Reid Dixon, the subject of his newest documentary. But Reid has his own motives for featuring Jane in his documentary, one that has ties to the past.

Soon Jane is caught up in something she never expected to deal with. Someone is targeting residents of Pelican Harbor for their hidden sins and they've upped the stakes when murder is added to the mix. When further incidents occur and her father is implicated, Jane soon begins to wonder if she is being targeted too.

One Little Lie is the first book in a new series from Colleen Coble and fans of her work won't be disappointed. The prologue is just the appetizer for what is to come. Romance, mystery, suspense fans of any or all of these genres will find something to love. If you are unfamiliar with Colleen's work what better way to be introduced than with the first book in a new series. Get ready for some page-turning book time you won't be sorry.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own. 


About the Book:
It started with one little lie.
But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover
the truth in this gripping new
romantic suspense. 

Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama after her father retires, but there's no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she's facing someone out to destroy the only family she has.

After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?

Reid Dixon is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane's career. Jane has little interest in the attention, but the committee who appointed her loves the idea of the publicity.

Jane finds herself depending on Reid's calm manner as he follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them may be impossible to cross—especially once her father’s lie catches up with them all.
