Alex Duggins Mystery #4
Lies That Bind
Looking for a gripping murder mystery with a feisty female sleuth? Meet Alex Duggins in this new series from a bestselling author.
A WOMAN’S BODY IS FOUND IN THE WOODS
No one knows who she is or why she was left in such a dreadful state.
Alex Duggins, owner of Folly-on-Weir's best pub, The Black Dog, is determined not to get involved — for once.
But the person who found the gruesomely mutilated body was young Kyle Gammage, who helps out at Alex’s friend Tony's veterinary clinic. And she and Tony are reluctantly drawn into the murder investigation.
To protect Kyle and his elder brother, Alex withholds vital information from the police. It's a misjudgement that will have far-reaching — and possibly fatal — consequences.
Then one of them goes missing and what lies beneath is very dark indeed.
WILL ALEX'S SILENCE PUT HER AND THOSE SHE LOVES IN DANGER?
Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, J R Ellis, and Clare Chase.
Stella Cameron is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with over fourteen million copies of her books in print.
MEET ALEX AND TONY
People think Alex is the perfect girl-next-door, but she’s made of sterner stuff than most girls-next-door. Divorced pub owner and graphic artist, she meets challenges head on, especially when she decides to stand up for justice and the underdog. Alex is no stranger to trouble, never has been since she was a scrappy young girl with no dad, and a mum working around the clock to keep them together.
Alex’s friend Tony Harrison is a vet — to the disappointment of his GP dad. A quiet man with a sharp wit and strong belief in the goodness of others, he has taken hard knocks, not the least of these, the loss of a young wife who disappeared, never to be found.
THE VILLAGE
A view of Folly from The Hill — as locals call it — is cause for a smile in any season. Let’s try December, early on a cold morning. Snow covers frozen twigs that crackle beneath your feet. The snowfall is only a fine swirl now. On a high point to the west stands ruined Tinley Tower, the folly the village was named for. Below, across the green with its frozen duck pond, honey-yellow cottages huddle. Thin smoke straggles from chimneys and lights shine through small leaded windows. Villagers wake early here. The Black Dog, Alex Duggins’ pub, sits at the heart of it all, strands of coloured lights shining along its eaves. George’s bakery van is already on its rounds, as is the Lovell’s Dairy lorry. It’s too early for the scarlet-blazered children to be climbing on the school bus, but dog walkers are already marching through the narrow streets and across the green. Idyllic. Deceptively so?

Book 4 in a series, this does very well as a stand-alone. There are a few sentences here and there that refer to something that happened in an earlier book, book no actual spoilers. As always, I recommend starting at the beginning of any series.
Once again Alex Duggins finds herself involved in a murder investigation. Kyle Gammage finds the body of an unidentified woman. He and his elder brother, Scoot, are besides themself with worry. Their father is a long-haul truck driver and leaving his boys alone for weeks at a time is a secret they all keep.
But now that the boys are involved, Alex, her friend Tont the veterinarian, her mother, and several others in the small community unite in keeping this information from the police.
But her silence may not be the best thing ... someone abducts Kyle. Are they afraid that he may have seen the killer? Is her silence putting those she loves in danger? Who is the murdered woman? Where is the boys' father? So many questions ...so few answers.
I liked the mystery .. the story premise is very good. It's not exciting, as something surprising popping up on every page, but it is engaging and kept me reading. The characters are credible and makes me want to go back to the beginning to read this particular series.

This is fourth of this series and the second book by this author I have read. The first book was a great read and this book was the same. The characters are well developed and have become friends. I was able to follow the story. The descriptions were outstanding and room me to Folly-Wait and surrounding area. The inhabitants are extremely loyal and support to the village and each other. I like the way The two separate incidents are brought together to form one story. The reason
The MC, Alex Duggins own the local pub. A friend, Tony Harrison owns the veterinary clinic and there is a relationship between them. Kyle Gammage who works for Tony discover a body. Alex learns the Kyle and his brother Scoot have been living by themselves while their Father is working and has not been presented for some time. In order to protect the boys from Social Services, they lied to the police. The reason The Father is missing most of the time is critical to the story. The lie involved them with the murder. There are enough turns in the narrative to keep you changing the pages. The ending is a surprise and intriguing. I highly recommend this book.

You can count on Stella Cameron for a British village mystery that isn’t formulaic. Her mysteries are well composed and immensely satisfying. They are cozies, but they are not designed for humor. If you like Midsommer Murders or Rosemary & Thyme, you will definitely enjoy Cameron’s novels. The residents of Folly-on-Weir feel real, as opposed to being stereotypes. Also, her novels are never straightforward murder mysteries. There are murders of course, but they are simply part of the larger scenario.
Lies that Bind begins with the discovery of a woman’s body in a neighboring village. Alex is drawn into the fray because the young man who discovered the body is the brother of one of her employees. The boys have been staying alone while their father, a lorry driver, is off working. The boys are afraid for the police to discover that they have been living unsupervised. Scoot doesn’t want his younger brother to be taken into care. Alex, Tony and the rest of the villagers are determined to help, but it leads to Alex keeping important information from the police. Alex and Tony begin their own investigation.
The one aspect of the novel that is at times frustrating is that Alex continues to be profoundly stubborn. Compromise is not a word that has a place in her life. Her relationship with Tony continues to be rocky because of her being unwilling to make a commitment and her reluctance to communicate. It isn’t so much that she is stubborn that bothers me. It’s more that she doesn’t develop as an individual despite all that has happened in the previous novels.
Despite this personal quibble of mine, I really enjoyed Lies That Bind and recommend it to anyone who enjoys British village mysteries,
4 / 5

WT*....What kind of ending is that? He jumps? Who's on the stairs, Do they catch Ellis? Do the kids stay with Doc? Does Sid go to jail? Do they catch they guy who killed the kid? I can't remember the name. I hate cliffhangers. None of the other books in the series is a cliffhanger. Or did my hardback book just get the last few chapters cut out? If it's not a cliffhanger, as much as I loved the story; I am so disappointed at the ending. 3.5.

Here's an example of the many confusing sentences. Page 146 "Harriet had already served tea and biscuits they were still too full from breakfast to eat". I'm sorry but this book is full of sentences similar to this and who the hell knows what's going on...

I started reading this book on three separate occasions before I was actually able to sit down and get into it. The story line is filled with suspense and had lots of twists and turns I really did enjoy. In Chapter 1, we meet Alex, Tony, Kyle, Scoot, Lily, Hugh and Bill and Dan. All well defined, stand alone characters, but where's Sid ???? You know..... Sid Gammage.... the guy we met and spent the prologue reading about and getting invested in. Yup that's the one, disappears until way later in the book leaving the reader to wonder what the heck is going on.
The author wrote in what I would describe as an "English flair", I found this style distracting and difficult to follow. A sentence like "Pinging from the side room where the fruit machines held court didn't diminish." HUH???, and "It took a bit to twig what had happened." These are just two but there were several of these types of sentences and slang usage that left me unsettled.
I always enjoy a book where a very clear picture is painted of the surroundings and I can actually feel myself there. I have no clear picture of the The Black Dog, supposedly a pub, but then it's referred to as a restaurant, and then people are sleeping there and renting rooms, and there are meeting rooms. Sounds like a Hilton Hotel, not a quaint little pub. Just one example, but the locales never came clear for me.
The story line was good and deserves 4 stars on its own merit, the writing style used by the author reduced the book to 3.5 stars, but the last page was a total failure of an ending brought the book down to 3 stars.
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Terrific!
Another great murder mystery with a rural village and its inhabitants. This is a wonderful series with excellent characters and an interesting, unusual murder to solve in each book!

What the heck did I just read!?! This was terrible, with trite conversations, drawn out scenarios leading to nowhere, and an ending which came out of, again, nowhere. The way Alex keeps going hot and cold on Tony, and their relationship; I say, "Tony, dump the ditz, and let the detective figure her out."
I only gave it 2 stars, as Tony, the vet, explained the ideals of being a vet, to a 13 yr. old, and it happened to give the young man an inspiration...a goal...for the future.
This series started out so well, and has been going
downhill...or should I say Underhill, since that is where the murder(s) occur...since book #3.

Better than last one I read, meaning Book #3, but I'm still not really won over. Characters have developed a bit, especially Alex but I still feel like telling her to finally make up her mind and get a grip. Tony deserves a medal to put up with her :-) as I have already mentioned in my review I've bought them all so I will probably read them all but having a second chance I'll purchase something else.

The relationships change ever so slightly, the setting details are enhanced, and the murders are grim. Such is life in Folly-on Weir. One thing that concerns me is that the publisher my be restricting pages for this writer, and she may feel the need to condense her story line as the book nears its end. Of the four I have read, this one is the most taut, and it is rather a shame that the final chapters are not fleshed out as much as I would have liked.

"Secrets can be deadly…
"When a body is discovered in the neighboring village of Underhill, Alex Duggins, owner of Folly-on-Weir’s premier pub, The Black Dog, is determined not to get involved—for once. But when she learns that the person who found the body was young Kyle Gammage, who helps out at her friend Tony’s veterinary clinic, she and Tony are reluctantly drawn into the murder investigation.
"In her desire to protect Kyle and his elder brother, Scoot, Alex finds herself withholding vital information from the police. It’s a misjudgment that will have far-reaching—and possibly fatal—consequences. Her relationship with Tony under strain, has Alex’s silence put her and those she loves in danger?"
~~back cover
Once again Alex rushes in where sensible people would fear to tread. But she can never keep herself out of harms way if she thinks she can find information the police can't (or won't.) And it often puts her in harm's way, and does so again in this book.
She and Tony continue to struggle with their relationship, inching it forward before it stalls again. The reader is left on the edge of his or her seat, urging these two to throw caution to the wind and become permanent partners. Just as he or she is on the edge of his or her seat following Alex intio deadly danger.

Lies That Bind - Alex Duggins Mystery #4 by Stella Cameron.
This is book 4 in this 7-book series. This book can be read as a stand-alone book. I am reading the books in order and even though the murder mystery part of the book kept me engaged, the overall plot in my opinion for this book is all over the place. The ending for me is too abrupt, almost like a cliffhanger even though the main murder mystery is solved, there are still loose ends. But that is my opinion and there are plenty of 5-star reviews so I am obviously in the minority.
Some readers may be put off by the writing style of the author. Check out amazon.com and read the sample chapters before you purchase the book to see if you like the writing style. If the story keeps me engaged, I am able to skim over the odd sentence construction. Overall, this book is not as well written as book 1, but I am engaged with the overall story arc and will continue with book 5.

Not really my cup of tea. Set in an English village a hotel owner and a veterinary doctor see themselves as amateur sleuths so there is a cosy element to this. However a Detective Chief Inspector and his team play a big role too so there is a police procedural element too. There is also a strong romantic element as the two amateur sleuths have a sort of relationship, the Chief Inspector is attracted to the hotel owner and the Detective Sergeant is attracted to the doctor's nurse. Oh, one of the police constables is jealous of the hotel owner as the police constable is attracted to the Chief Inspector.
The plot is not up to much. A schoolboy discovers a dead body but the boy's father is working away from home. Also a sub-plot which seemed a bit tagged on.
The author does write well but this is not the sort of book which I want to read.

This is the fourth in the series.I've enjoyed them, except for the abrupt endings, but I am beginning to get annoyed with the American words used. I know the author is American but she's writing about English people in an English village and using words that English people wouldn't normally use. We say ketchup not catsup, flaky pastry with a filling of fruit mincemeat is an eccles cake, not a Bakewell tart and we don't say 'calico' cat, we say 'tortoiseshell'! At least towards the end of this one the pub seats were finally called banquettes rather than banquets, although around here they're usually called bench seats.

Really Enjoyed This One
I have now read the first four books of this series. I really enjoyed the first one, totally disliked the second one and said I wouldn’t read anymore of them, and then for some reason reversed myself and read the third and so glad I did. It lived up to what I was looking for in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The fourth one was equally as good. The author has done a excellent job in the development of the village and the citizens who live there. They are as much a part of the story as the mystery itself is. They are quick reads.

I have been reading the series in order and so far this book is my favorite. The characters are being developed more - Alex's and Tony's parents had more to do with the story. Bill Lamb and Dan O'Reilly are showing a bit of what they are like when not on duty. We have more than one mystery going on in "Lies That Bind" although they do intersect along the way. Tony takes off on his own this time and Alex realizes how agonizing it is to be the one left behind wondering what has happened to her best friend. Looking forward to number five.

Better than book 3
This was much better that the last book, but it still has some issues. I completely lost track of some of the bad guy characters so at the end I was a bit confused. Was not enough info to connect the two murders. I will read the next book because I like the main character.

Ripping good read
Another outstanding Cotswold mystery. Cameron continues to flesh out her characters, giving us peeks at their relationships and everyday lives. Aa usual, Alex and Tony go beyond just being helpful to placing themselves in danger, thankfully the coppers are there to make sure things don't go completely awry.

Poor read
An unlikely story, with parts of the story appearing from nowhere. The relationship between the police and two main characters was very unrealistic and, frankly, unbelievable.

I enjoyed the story but I really hate books that don't end with more explanations. Unless the authors going to continue in the next book what happened in this one. It ended to abruptly for me I would have preferred more of an explanation.

Definitely a crime commited, but by who
I feel a bit bewildered, hard to get the story out..a lot of half defences to previous relationship\events. The plots and crime , victim, susoects, all gets there in the end. I liked the cat 😄

Another great story
Another great story by Stella Cameron in the Cotswold murder series featuring all the usual characters. A great story with plenty of twists and turns and an unexpected ending. Looking forward to reading more in the series.

A tentacle of lies
Alex and Tony are enjoying their lives, when murder reaches out to them. A very convoluted story with even more twists and turns than the first three books
