A Bad Lie

Title: A Bad Lie
Author: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards
Published: January 11th 2016 by Bastei Entertainment
Format: Kindle, 104 pages
Genre: Amateur Sleuth
Series: Cherringham #23

First Sentence: Ryan Collins watched his mates pile out of his hire car—a big Ford Galaxy.

Blurb: When talented young artist Josh Andrews goes missing after a stag night prank at Cherringham Golf Club, the bride in desperation asks Jack and Sarah to find him. It seems he's gotten cold feet, with the wedding just days away.

But Josh is not all he appears to be ... And soon suspicion falls on the Golf Club itself. Can Josh be found before he takes justice into his own hands?

My Opinion: Everyone has secrets, you just hope they don’t rise to the surface when you are planning your wedding.

Jack and Sarah are at it again, and this time I am not so sure the cold feet are only on the part of Josh Andrews. This subject causes me to take a left turn and wish I knew which relationship direction the investigating duo is heading. Yet each time they take a step ahead, there seems to be a couple of steps back. Glad I like their camaraderie when it comes to matching wits with criminals since their relationship is quickly heading into the vexation stage for the reader.

I am reaching the point in the series where I don’t care as much about the murders as I do about the interactions among the main characters. There is no doubt I will continue reading since I like how they put the pieces together and are slowly making other realizations.
