Review: Tangle of Lies by C.J. Carmichael

 

A murder rips through the quiet town of Tangle Falls, exposing a web of lies and buried sins.

Former science teacher Bobbie Galloway is shaken when a former student’s body is found along the tranquil river of sleepy Tangle Falls. She’s even more troubled that George Lindeman, another student of hers, is the prime suspect.

George was never able to escape the rumors surrounding his family’s death a decade ago and now he's once again thrust into the spotlight of a murder investigation. Bobbie believes George is innocent. She never believed the rumors about him.

Hadley Hooper left Tangle Falls at seventeen but she’s back to right old wrongs. She believes George is innocent too. But can she be trusted, or does she have her own agenda?

As tensions mount in the aftermath of the murder, Bobbie is suspicious of Fern Sinclair, who just bought the deserted farmhouse next to Bobbie’s brother’s ranch. The home care worker claims she wants to restore the property’s garden to its former glory, but Bobbie can’t shake the feeling Fern is hiding something.

As whispers of suspicion echo through Tangle Falls, Bobbie embarks on a gripping journey into the heart of the town, unearthing secrets that threaten to unravel the very fabric of the community.

 

My Review:

Entertaining and unpredictable.

This incredibly entertaining book is set in the small town of Tangle Falls and features some old mysteries and a new murder, that could possibly be connected.  There is an abundance of characters, and this usually confuses me, but the way the book is written, it was easy to keep track of everyone.  I enjoyed trying to solve the crimes and was surprised in the end with the big reveal.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
