Tangled Truths

New from award-winning suspense and thriller author Shelley Coriell comes another set of twisting and “laugh-out-loud” Detective Lottie King Mysteries!



As detectives Lottie King and Oliver T. Figg officially team up to catch killers, Lottie uncovers a tangle of secrets from Figg’s past that could destroy the agency...and cost lives. Features five mysteries and Lottie-inspired recipes.


Tangled Truths — On Lottie’s first day of work at the Figg Agency, a new client literally dies in her arms, but she must hunt for the killer on her own as Figg deals with problems from his past.


Dry Bones — The deathbed confession of an elderly woman sends Lottie and Figg digging into a century-old murder during Colorado’s great Gold Rush.


Past Due — In serious need of cash, Figg takes on a humdrum cheating spouse case that has him and Lottie running for their lives.


Short Take — Figg fills in for Lottie at a Girl Power meeting where he helps the troop plan and execute a heist that results in life-changing consequences.

Author’s Note: When asked by readers what book I’ve written is my favorite, I always say I can’t pick a fave. That would be like picking a favorite child. But I will say there’s something very special about TANGLED TRUTHS.  The mysteries were so clear in my head, and the words raced onto the page. I love the interesting police procedural elements in these stories, and there’s even more humor. And for the first time, I threaded a larger mystery across all short stories. My “Grandma with a Glock” mystery series is perfect for readers who like clever crime fiction with a strong female protagonist, a dash of humor, and a lot of heart. Bonus: each short story comes with a Lottie-approved recipe. Enjoy!
