House of Lies by Terry Lynn Thomas

Cat is a strong-willed determined and resourceful woman.

This is book three in the Cat Carlisle mystery series. Without having read the previous two books, I did just fine with the characters and plot.

Standalone vs. Series

That being said, there’s a lot of characters, relationships and backstory to keep track of. So, while this can be read as a stand-alone, it may be a more enjoyable read to start from book 1. There’s a lot of loose strings but everything comes together and is woven into a beautiful story.

THE VERDICT

Any BBC fan, Anglophile or history buff will eat up House of Lies by Terry Lynn Thomas. Even though this story takes place during WW II there’s a hint of the Me Too move my which I quite enjoy. Without giving anything else away, this is an imaginative, engrossing and fulfilling read.
