Sometimes, I am not a fan of short stories because, well they are just too short, but that is not the case withThe Edge of Lies, a Short Story (Prequel to the Paradise Valley Mysteries). This is the perfect ending to a great series by Debra Burroughs. The short story is just another delicious tidbit and back story to Emily who is the heroine in the Paradise Valley series.In the Edge of Lies, we see Emily who is whole and not struggling with the pain of losing a husband to murder, and learning of his betrayal after his death. Edge of Lies allows the reader to get to know Evan and to understand his great love for Emily and his reasons for hiding his past.This short story captures a side of Emily we do not see in the other books,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), andThe Pursuit of Lies, A Romantic Suspense Novel (Book #4, Paradise Valley Mysteries). What I love about this series is how believable and relatable these characters are, I find myself caught up within the folds of their friendship, while rooting on Emily to solve the case with her curiosity,her stubbornness to pull all the clues together before anyone else does. The steamy sexual tension and budding relationship between her and Detective Colin just adds to the thrill of the Paradise Valley series.The Edge of Lies is a perfect weekend read. Another great story by Debra Burroughs, and I can't wait to see what else she has in store. Her books are on my kindle favorite list!
