*My Thoughts*

Three Truths and a Lie is considered installment 7.5 in the D.D. Warren series. This is actually the second novella in the series after The 7th Month. D.D. Warren is a Boston Sergeant Detective who gets to share her experiences with a class of writers. Writers who attend the Writer's Police Academy, which I'd love to attend one day. It is up to DD to lead authors like Karin Slaughter, Joe Finder, and Kathy Reichs in a discussion, while tempting them with a game of Three Truths and a Lie.

Can DD keep a class of eager writers entertained for 50 minutes? Can DD come up with an entertaining and puzzling case without them guessing what the truths are and what the lie is? DD will tell the story of case involving a dead man, a dismembered leg, and a seedy motel room. It is DD jobs to get the writers involved in the discussion and see which parts of the story are truth and which are lies.

If you have followed my reviews for any length of time, you know that DD is, my opinion, one of the best female heroines in the Mystery, Thriller Genre. Even though this novella is short, it gets to the heart of who DD is, and how she ends up solving one of the more bizarre cases in recent memory. Overall, this story is very good lay-over on my way to reading book # 8 called Find Her releasing February, 2016.

Expected publication: January 5th 2016 by Dutton
