Rating: 5 out of 5

I was thrilled when I learned that Debra Burroughs had written a short story about Detective Colin and asked if I would read it.In the series of the Paradise Valley Mysteries the author always eludes to the pain that Colin went through when losing his fiance. Now readingThe Color of Lies: Bridge Short Story Between Books 4 and 5 (Paradise Valley Mysteries), you get experience Detective Colin through a different perspective. He is much more confident and tough, as he is a detective in the San Francisco Police Department.In the series, the author Debra Burroughs, shares that Colin's fiance was a cop, and shot in the line of fire. The story has danger, suspense, love, and the end is not what you'd expect.I love all these little short stories on the background of the characters that Ms. Burroughs has vividly imagined and created for us in Paradise Valley. If you have not read any of the series, this book will read just fine, without knowing the other stories because it is the back story of a main character in the Paradise Valley series.This series has become "comfort books," for me. At the end of a long week, it is nice to turn on my kindle, and spend some time with all these great characters.The other books in the series are:The Scent of Lies: A Light Romantic Suspense (Book #1, Paradise Valley Mysteries)The Heart of Lies: A Light Romantic Suspense (Book #2, Paradise Valley Mysteries)The Chain of Lies, A Romantic Suspense Novel (Book #3, Paradise Valley Mysteries)The Pursuit of Lies, A Romantic Suspense Novel (Book #4, Paradise Valley Mysteries)The Edge of Lies, a Short Story (Prequel to the Paradise Valley Mysteries)and I do believe she is in the process of another one!
