I read Burning Lies by Gwyn Bennett pretty quickly. It's a good story with interesting characters and a fresh storyline.

This is the first book I've read in this series. I didn't feel like I missed too much by not reading other books. I did like the main character, Harrison Lane.

Burning Lies was a good murder mystery with a satisfying ending

Burning Lies is a fascinating book. Dr. Harrison Lane works for the police in the Ritualistic Behavior Crime Unit. He’s a psychologist, was raised in a cult, and is also searching for his mother’s killer. I haven’t read the previous books in this series, but this works very well as a stand-alone.
Lane is called in when a woman, posing as a medium in a small village, is found burned at the stake in a field. The villagers all claim to have liked the woman and that her readings have helped them. There is a house that is a second chance for ex-cons and a church that comes very close to being a cult that the villagers all seem to be eager to blame for the death. Soon, there is a second murder.
But who are the killers and what is the motive? Will anyone be brought to justice?
This was a fascinating read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.
