In this riveting prequel to her novel Little Mercies, New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf explores how even the smallest lies can have far-reaching consequences.
When the body of a woman is discovered in a local park—with her bewildered four-year-old son sitting beside her—veteran social worker Ellen Moore is called in to assist in the police investigation. Positioned beneath a statue of Leto, the goddess of motherhood, the crime is weighted with meaning and, Ellen discovers, remarkably similar to one from a decade past.
Ellen's professional duty is to protect the child, but she's not equipped to contend with a killer. As she races to connect the dots, she knows her time is running out. And the stakes are high: if she fails, another mother is sure to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Before I was bitten with the historical fiction bug, murder mysteries were my thing, Patterson, Grisham, Brown, Davidson etc graced my shelves. These days it is sometimes nice after spending time in the 1400-1500's to squeeze in a modern day mystery. I discovered Heather Gudenkauf a couple years ago with These Things Hidden and One Breath Away (I thoroughly enjoyed it too). I fell in love with her writing style, her original and unique plots that had me guessing right to the end.
Little Lies is Heather's prequel to Little Mercies, which will be released June 24th.
Not long, only 45 pages in length but an enticing self-contained mystery. Well written, mysterious, emotional and a great introduction to Ellen Moore. There is closure in this book but also loose ends. Looking for to reading Little Mercies
