Huge thank you to the author for the free eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
It's been a week since Carly Moore’s friend Jerry was run off the road and killed, and the sheriff’s department has already struck out on leads. She’s not about to sit back and let it go, but the last thing she wants is to endanger anyone else. Besides, as she learned long ago, problems come in threes.
A mysterious woman causes a ruckus in the tavern where Carly works and leaves behind a note: We’ve got some unfinished business, Carly Moore. I’ll be in touch. The stranger looks like trouble, and Carly knows it means nothing good. Then, on the heels of that encounter, she gets shocking news: the crime syndicate her father co-ran has been taken down by the authorities.
She’s not foolish enough to think her father has been neutralized, but she realizes she needs to act against him soon if she wants to stop hiding.
The deeper Carly digs into her family’s past, the more dirt she finds. But lies are told for a reason, and there are people around her who are willing to kill to keep the truth hidden.

When Carly first showed up in Henryetta, I instantly loved her as a character in Rose Gardner's world. Now that she's found her way to Drum (and to Marco!) I can't help but love her even more. It seems like every time she starts to get comfortable, something crazy happens. The Lies She Told is no different. Carly receives a mysterious note from a woman she doesn't recognize, claiming that they have unfinished business. But speaking of unfinished business, Carly is still running from her father, even though the Hardshaw group has been caught. Can she keep her friendships in Drum, figure out what this crazy lady wants, take down Bart Drummond, and stay hidden?
Yet again, a phenomenal book by Denise Grover Swank. She never ceases to amaze me. This woman has written and co-written well over 50 books, in a variety of genres, and she does it so well! Even with putting out multiple books with publication dates less than a month apart, nothing feels half-assed. If something in a book doesn't turn out exactly how she wants it, Denise Grover Swank will literally push back the release day and re-write entire chunks. This just shows how dedicated she is to her craft. As a long time reader and reviewer of her books, Thank you Denise. I can't wait for your next installment.
