Description
It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover the truth in this gripping romantic suspense from USA TODAY Bestselling author Colleen Coble.
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 someone is attempting 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 him.
"There are just enough threads left dangling at the end of this well-crafted romantic suspense to leave fans hungrily awaiting the next installment." --Publishers Weekly | "Colleen Coble once again proves she is at the pinnacle of Christian romantic suspense. Filled with characters you'll come to love, faith lost and found, and scenes that will have you holding your breath . . ." --Lisa Wingate | "One Little Lie is One Phenomenal Read." --Lynette Eason
Readers love these novels because of the strong, relatable characters, the fast-paced suspense, the layers of family drama, and the themes of redemption.

Colleen Coble has become one of my favorite mystery writers. I have to read her books whenever I see a new one pop up and I haven't ever felt let down. I didn't want to put this one down! It was just that good. Set in Pelican Harbor, Jane Hardy is promoted to Chief of Police after her father retires from the position. Pelican Harbor is a small coastal town community, and a the setting just gives you that feel of a town where everybody knows everyone. But when a journalist comes to interview her and do a write-up on small town police chiefs, low and behold a couple of murders occur. And her father is just a bit mysterious and I was wondering what was going on with him because I felt like he was hiding something and was a bit sus. I just loved the suspense and the page-turner that this book was. She's definitely one of my go-to authors when I want to feel sure I'm going to get a good read and a good mystery when I'm in the mood.

ONE LITTLE LIE is the first novel in the Pelican Harbor series by COLLEEN COBLE. I have been looking forward to reading it for quite a while and am definitely not disappointed. In her inimitable way, the author has given us a feast of mystery, suspense and romance, with a subtle Christian message. One Little Lie is my new favourite book by this author and I can highly recommend it as a most enjoyable and exciting read!
Things are not as they seem in Pelican Harbor with a vigilante on the loose, some gruesome murders, and politics and jealousy in the police department where Jane Hardy has been made chief of police.
I love the way Jane's character has been portrayed and cannot wait for the sequel to come out next year to see how things work out for her, and of course for all the other interesting characters. In no way is One Little Lie a cliffhanger, but it is easy to get attached to the likeable people we come to know in the book!
It is a story about secrets and lies - when exactly does the sin of omission become a fully fledged lie? When is the best time to tell someone the truth, especially if to do so could have life changing consequences? The problem of cults is also addressed and we see the effect they can have on people, even after they have managed to escape and live a new life in the real world.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
