Can she overcome her
traumatic past and open her heart to love?
Maggie O’Flynn’s parents
disappeared when she was twelve. Abandoned and alone, with few answers to what
happened, she was sent to live with a maiden aunt who did the best she could. Now,
years later, with difficulties trusting others and at risk for losing her job, Maggie
senses someone is watching her. A letter from an attorney only heightens her sense
of terror. What the attorney drops in her lap will change her life forever.
Russ Crawford, heir to the
fortune of his adopted father, Angus, explodes after he learns the mysterious
Maggie O’Flynn will inherit his father’s estate. Who is she? And why would his
father—whom Russ adored—leave the bulk of his estate to this interloper?
Sparks fly on their first accidental
meeting. The second time doesn’t go as well. The two are confronted by a mystery
of monumental proportions—right down to what happened to Maggie’s parents, and what
led to Angus’ secret surveillance of Maggie for more than twenty years. Working
together, the two risk everything to find the answers. In the process they
discover each other.
Our Review: For long-time
fans of C.B. Clark’s edge of the seat novels of suspense and mystery, Twisted
Lies is a treat. With a talent for blending lush descriptions of the
picturesque Western Canada with well-drawn, multi-layered characters, Clark does
not disappoint. The subtle inclusion of the daily struggles and temptations associated
with alcohol abuse is informative without beating the reader over the head. Plus,
the ending was not at all expected—and very satisfying.
On a scale of 1-5, Twisted
Lies deserves a 6.
