“Of course, no matter where in the world she was, she could never have stayed hidden, not as long as he was willing to kill innocent people until he found her.

When investigating journalist Reagan McAdams discovers her new husband Julien is part of a powerful international crime family, she flees Paris with her newborn, returning to her childhood home.
I thought it was great. Had a hard time putting it dowm
This book was so good, I still vividly remember the plot, title and characters. I read a book or two a week and few are memorable enough to recollect details. These characters you are pulling for, wanting them to make it! Wanting them to survive! What a wonderful, suspense filled plot! Definitely recommend as a clean book, but not necessarily a Christian novel. It should be enjoyed by everyone! It has very evil bad guys and flawed good guys. A very well written, don’t want it to end book.
Grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go! Great read.
Really great very well written book!

3.5 Stars
If you like a intense suspense with high stakes, Convenient Lies is a book you should consider picking up.
Rachel/Reagan/Rae makes the difficult choice to leave her husband when she discovers some disturbing things. Believing she’s covered her tracks, she returns to her grandmother’s home in Nutfield. But plans don’t as well as she hoped.
While this story did sag a little bit in the middle, and Rae gets a little wishy-washy crying on Brady’s shoulder one minute and deciding she’s going to do everything on her own the next, the ending is well worth hanging in there. It’s not quite what I expected but definitely satisfying.
Readers get a little bit of a feel for the town and a few of the people who live there (more so from Rae’s memories than her present as she’s hiding out). And the romance is a slow burn that is patiently fanned over the course of the story.
