I received a free download of "The Lies Have It" by Jill Edmondson to read on my Kindle, in exchange for an honest review. This was a super crime mystery novel set in Toronto.Sasha Jackson is a PI in Toronto. Business has been slow lately, but the bills keep coming. To supplement her income she takes some odd jobs from time to time, like bartending at a BDSM party in a local bar. Shortly after this particular party the host of this group, Ian Dooley was found dead at the waterfront, indicating foul play,with whip marks and two bullet holes. Sasha suspects that the crime has nothing to do with the victim's lifestyle, but she is occupied with another case at the moment.But where was the motive for Ian's murder? Could the murder have been random? If so there would be no pattern. Why was the victim chosen? Who had the means, motive and opportunity to pull off this killing? Sasha must dig deep to solve this mystery.This book is an easy read and an interesting plot, but definitely keeps your attention. And as a resident of Toronto, for the last 30 years, the descriptions and details of Toronto are so true and accurate. All I can say is hats off to a very talented writer, and thank you for allowing me to read your novel.
