I couldn't wait to read the final book in the Paradise Valley Murder Mysteries (The Scent of Lies, A Paradise Valley Mystery: Book OneandThe Heart of Lies, A Paradise Valley Mystery: Book Two). I really enjoyed that the author focused on Emily and how she's progressed in becoming a solidified Private Investigator. She reminds me a bit of Kyra Sedwick's character from the Closer. She goes with her gut feeling on a case and it doesn't steer her wrong. She is a strong character, loyal to her friends, determined to solve murder crimes in her valley.There is some repeat of character story so The Chain of Lies can stand alone in the case of someone picking up the "third book" without having to read the first two. She had two cases to solve and that kept me turning the pages. The romance and suspense were well balanced. Emily and Colin's (the lead detective and hero) relationship has blossomed into LOVE and all the joys and trials that come with it. Great Read!
