One Dark Lie — Clare Chase

The truth can hurt, and sometimes it leads to murder …
After becoming embroiled in a murder investigation, Nate Bastable and Ruby Fawcett have decided to opt for the quiet life. But crime has a habit of following them around.

When her work dries up, Ruby finds herself accepting a job researching and writing about Diana Patrick-John, a colourful and enigmatic Cambridge academic. Simple enough. But then there's the small fact that Diana was found dead in suspicious circumstances in her home â€" the very place where Ruby has now been invited to stay.

As she begins to uncover Diana's secret life, Ruby's sleuthing instinct kicks in, leaving her open to danger and retribution. But can she rely on Nate to support her? Especially when his behaviour has become increasingly distant and strange, almost as though he had something to hide …

What people are saying:
I LOVE Clare's books! And this one was just as good as the others. She keeps you guessing right to the end and a couple of red herrings in this one really confused me - in a good way!

I am so glad that I started this book on a day when I had nothing planned as I was so reluctant to put it down I pretty much read it start to finish in one go. It really gripped me that much!
