APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Where The Truth Lies is the thrilling first entry in M J Lee’s DI Thomas Ridpath series. After spending time away from the police force due to serious illness, Ridpath returns to work as a new investigation begins—one which feels eerily similar to an old case, a decade earlier, that saw Ridpath capture a famous serial killer. Now, bodies are going missing, records are seemingly non-existent and time is of the essence as the body count grows. This heart-pounding thriller is full of twists and turns and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Then there’s Ridpath, in whom M J Lee has crafted a relatable main character who’s facing a series of battles—from his struggling marriage to tensions in his professional life. Every chapter propels the story forward, gathering pace until this gripping novel’s dramatic conclusion.
Customer Reviews
Where the Truth Lies
I’ve been looking for another author that would make me want to keep reading until I got to the end. This book definitely ticked all the boxes for a great book. I will be reading the other books in the series. Highly recommend it.

Gripping,couldn’t put it down.
Where the truth likes
A very. very, good read. My only little gripe is, once again, the misuse of ‘me,. myself,I’ but it seems not a single writer these days can use the words correctly. Fortunately, there were few instances, and it didn’t spoil the overall quality of the composition.
