One Little Lie by Colleen Coble

Uncovering The Truth

One Little Lie by Colleen Coble is a marvellous contemporary Christian murder suspense. It is the first book in the Pelican Harbor series and what a cracking series that promises to be.

The reader’s heart races as the tension rises. Once again I got completely absorbed in the action. As the body count rose, I totally failed in predicting the outcome.

When lives are built on lies, sooner or later there will be a fall as the truth must come out. We must face the consequences and answer for our choices.

Legacy

Strands Of Truth by Colleen Coble is an exciting and gripping contemporary Christian suspense that will have the reader glued and guessing.

Legacies are important, as is heritage. We need to know where we come from in order to plot where we are going. Even more important is to know Whose we are.

A mother’s love is a powerful thing. It is protective and caring. If we are denied it as a child, we will lose our anchor in life and be continually searching for that love, never trusting as the foundations are not there.

WWJD?

Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble is a fabulous contemporary Christian suspense and the first book in The Hope Beach series. I loved it and read it in just one sitting.

The novel has the theme of restoration. Restoration of old buildings mirrors the restoration in our lives. We all need to pull together and share our knowledge (of the love of God) to see lives changed and restored.

Money equals power for some. Greed rules over people’s lives. Unscrupulous characters will stop at nothing to rise upwards. Greed and treasure clouds their vision. Characters with correct priorities realise that money cannot solve problems. People matter. Money can buy comfort and is a short term high. Transformation by love lasts forever.

Moving Forward

Mermaid MoonMermaid Moon by Colleen Coble is the second book in the Sunset Cove series but it can be read as a stand-alone.

Once again Colleen Coble has written a fabulous contemporary murder mystery novel with a hint of romance. I was certainly hooked from the beginning.

Fifteen years previously Mallory left her home town following her adopted mother’s death. Now she returns with her daughter Haley in tow as well as her friend and neighbour Carol, as Mallory’s father turns up dead in suspicious circumstances. Mallory meets up with ex boyfriend Kevin. The two of them turn super sleuth to solve a mystery dating back fifteen years.
