They find the victim up against a tree with a knife wound. Little did they know that it was a famous author that was at a private school giving lectures to students. There is a note stuck in his mouth that says this is only the beginning. So do they have a serial killer on the loose? So the investigation starts with interviewing the English teachers at the school. All three of the teachers do not have alibis for where they were when he was murdered. They also spoke with Lila who had known the victim since college. There is little Lila can offer to help in this investigation, other than Delaware Fuente didn't want anyone to know his real name.
There are also some other strange things going on at this private school. It seems that there is someone calling themselves the Grimm Reaper. Whoever this person is, finds out certain things about a student and blackmails them into doing something bad, or the Grimm will tell their secrets. Gemma somehow doesn't feel that these two are connected. Gemma is going to try and figure both of these out.
While dealing with all of this, Gemma also has to take care of her baby and Brody her boyfriend. Brody was offered a new job, but Gemma doesn't like the people that he would be working for. Gemma's problem with them is she feels they are crooked.
A SEASON TO LIE is a great book by Emily Littlejohn. Littlejohn writes a real great page turning. This is the kind of book that once you start reading it, you just don't want to put it down. I think I read this book in two days. I really like how Littlejohn showed all sides of Gemma's life. Women really can juggle family and a career.
So since summer might get here sometime, you might want to pick A SEASON TO LIE up and sit outside in the sun and read away.
Book Summary
In Emily Littlejohn's follow-up to her acclaimed debut Inherit the Bones, a twisted killer stalks his prey in the dead of winter.
On a cold dark night in February, as a blizzard shrieks through Cedar Valley, police officer and new mother Gemma Monroe responds to an anonymous report of a prowler at the local private high school, The Valley Academy. In her idyllic Colorado small town, Gemma expects the call was just a prank by a bored teenager.
But there in the snow lies the savaged body of a man whose presence in town was meant to be a secret. And a disturbing message left by his killer promises more death to come.
This is only the beginning . . .
Nothing is as it seems in Cedar Valley and stories, both fact and fiction, ensnare Gemma as her investigation moves from the halls of an elite academy to the forests that surround Cedar Valley.
Against a backdrop of bleak winter weather, stymied by those who would lie to protect what is dearest to them, Gemma hunts a ruthless killer before he strikes again in A Season to Lie.
