Customer Reviews
Mary Adler’s In the Shadow of Lies
Powerful, explosive, horrific and true to life with
palpable energy makes this a complex, uniquely
plotted historical fiction mystery.
This book is an eye-opener, a page turner and
very strongly based on reality.
An interesting array of characters that drew me
in immediately. Set in the 1940’s in the Bay Area
of California. The story grips you from the very
beginning intensifying until the final word.
Tension. Drama, suspense, mystery plus plenty
of thrills, chills, twists and turns.
The story is so well written you will feel as if you
are in the mist of the action.
A Very Highly Recommended Read!!!
I volunteered to read In the Shadow of Lies. Thanks
to the Cozy Review Crew for the opportunity. My
opinion is my own.
