White Lies, Deadly Lies

Doug Mullen #2

by Peter Tickler

When struggling private investigator Doug Mullen saves a mother and daughter from a massive car crash, he gets unwanted attention on social media—and several badly needed new cases. However, keeping Natalie and Ellie Swan safe from Natalie’s just-paroled abusive ex is proving a formidable challenge. Especially after two of Ellie’s friends go missing and Doug discovers the body of a murdered vicar.

Suddenly, police peg Doug as prime suspect in all of his active cases. With little time to clear his name, he races to untangle a web of false leads, buried secrets and insidious lies. But a tragic case from the past will soon put Doug in a killer’s vengeful sights—with wrenching consequences he can’t escape…

Having read the first book in this series, and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was slightly disappointed that it took me a very long time to get into this one. The plot was very complicated, and this made the initial chapters slow reading. At one point I was actually on the verge of giving up on it but suddenly it started to make sense and come alive. Although towards the ending I found myself very confused and wondering if I had missed something, because we seemed to jump to conclusions that I didn’t understand. Even when we reached the conclusion, I still can’t work out how we got there, and I somehow believe that Mullen must have kept a lot of information to himself. However, I admit that I did finally enjoy the book, although a lot of that is because of Rex – I do think that every good book should have a dog. I shall probably read the next book in the series and just hope that my enjoyment continues.

Another fantastic Doug Mullen book. A brilliant fast paced mystery with a wonderful and unexpected twist. I only discovered this author recently but am looking forward to reading everything he has written.

The characters make this story- including the dog! the story will keep you guessing - it all seems to stem from an accident. it is an immensely satisfying read
