One of the fundamental rules
of blogging is: “Once it’s out there,
it’s out there.” Once you hit the ENTER
key, you can’t delete it, you can’t remove it, you can’t retrieve it. And you certainly can’t deny it.
Cathy Cramer is a former
lawyer and investigative blogger who writes commentary on local homicides. When she finds a threatening note warning her
that she’s about to experience the same kind of judgment and speculation that
she dishes out on her blog, she dismisses it as a harmless prank.
Then her brother becomes the
principal suspect in the murder investigation of his ex-wife. Tried and convicted in the media, he is now
scrutinized by the very society of bloggers and commentators of which Cathy is
a card-carrying member. And it is up to
Cathy and her two sisters, Holly and Juliet, to put aside their doubts and
fears and learn the art of investigation.
Because their brother is under the gun . . .and his 5-year old son is
the killer’s next target.
I’ll confess . . . I read and
reviewed Terri Blackstock’s second book in the Moonlighter’s Series,
DISTORTION, first. It was so well-done
that I had to have the entire series. And
there was something niggling at the back of my brain; I’d seen TRUTH-STAINED
LIES somewhere. Recently. Oh, yes . . . there it is, on my
bookshelf!
Coming to the book (both of
which are stand-alone, although if you read them as I did there are some
potential spoilers in Book 2) with a pre-understanding of the principal
characters was interesting. And it made
reading the first book (despite the aforementioned potential spoilers)
easier. It was like slipping on a
comfortable pair of old slippers . . . it just felt right.
I’ve been a fan of Terri
Blackstock since collecting her Cape
