Little Black Lies by Sharon Bolton

In such a small community as the Falkland Islands, a missing child is unheard of. In such a dangerous landscape it can only be a terrible tragedy, surely...When another child goes missing, and then a third, it’s no longer possible to believe that their deaths were accidental, and the villagers must admit that there is a murderer among them. Even Catrin Quinn, a damaged woman living a reclusive life after the accidental deaths of her own two sons a few years ago, gets involved in the searches and the speculation.
And suddenly, in this wild and beautiful place that generations have called home, no one feels safe and the hysteria begins to rise.
But three islanders—Catrin, her childhood best friend, Rachel, and her ex-lover Callum—are hiding terrible secrets. And they have two things in common: all three of them are grieving, and none of them trust anyone, not even themselves.
In Little Black Lies, her most shocking and engaging suspense novel to date, Sharon Bolton will keep the reader guessing until the very last page.





Review:  I was given a copy of Little Black Lies for an honest review from NetGalley and this is my review.
All I can say is this is one of those books that keeps you guessing until the very end and when I say the very end I mean the very end. The last twist that was revealed had my mouth dropping open and my mind spinning. I will not give any spoilers away but this book had me guessing the entire time and I loved it.
If you are into suspense books that are told from different perspectives and leave the reader guessing this book is a must read. I am not going to get into the plot because I don't want to give away any part of the story I am just going to say I was not sure about this book at first but it turned out to be an excellent story. I also found the parts about the wildlife and military conflict on the island the book took place on interesting information that just added a little something extra to the story.
I am giving this book five out of five stars and highly recommending it for other readers who enjoy a good mystery.
