How it reads
Read Between the Lies is mystery (cozy mystery, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are secrets, identity and justice. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 287 pages it's a quick read. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
