Twisted Lies

Kim Stone #12 to #21



I went down a rabbit hole with Kim Stone. After eleven novels starring Angela Marsons’ brilliant, abrasive, sympathetic Detective Inspector, I was so enamoured with these characters, the mysteries, and all the other greatness that make these novels, I just couldn’t get enough of them.



Every waking minute that could be spent on the novels, would be.



Ok, a few times I would start to despair at the loss of the rule of law in the USA, witnessing how people like you and me are impacted by what that despicable orange person does.



And then I would immediately return to Kim Stone and her team. Penn, Stacey, Bryant (whose given name I now finally know!), Frost, and, interestingly, Leanne - they all have their moments. The stories always address relevant contemporary issues, they’re believable, suspenseful and thrilling.



I cannot review those novels individually anymore because once I had finished one (without taking the time for my usual highlights, notes, and annotations), I’d jump right into the next. I’d probably be facing the worst book hangover in decades if there hadn’t been a certain book to spare me that trouble.



Just know if you’re into mysteries and police procedurals (in rural Britain), you cannot go wrong with Angela Marsons’ Kim Stone.



Thus, I’m awarding five stars out of five to each and every instalment from #12 to #21 and will be copying this review to each of these.

14 books in and this woman is still knocking out 5 star books! She can simply do no wrong in my opinion.

I absolutely love the characters in this series, including Barney the dog, who I'm glad we got more of in this one!

And I can never figure out the twists or thr ending which is always a bonus! She layers so many stories and elements that you think you've got it but every time you're wrong.
