Where the Truth Lives (Where… #2)

Whoa, what a gripping and intense read! Reed Davies is the homocide detective called to the scene of a murder at a mental health hospital and this is just the beginning of a series of deaths that appear to be linked as Reed is trying to find the connection between them to locate the killer. Liza Nolan is the one who discovers the first body but she and Reed have already met under completely different and memorable circumstances several weeks before. There\’s a lot of elements in this story happening all at once. Liza and Reed both have a history of their own that shapes them into who they are today and the person we are seeing in this book. Liza has not had it easy and her job as a psychologist reflects how perceptive and empathic she is, but is also a shield for her own inner turmoil. Reed knows exactly where he comes from, but refuses to let that define him because he has chosen a path that will allow him to serve justice for the community. Both of them are well developed characters that have so much weight on their shoulders yet the plot kept them moving forward to push them out of their boundaries. The murders themselves are gruesome and puzzling, where it\’s anyone\’s guess as to who or what is behind them. Mia Sheridan wove the mystery and suspense intricately where my mind was constantly churning with possibilities and eager for more clues as the pages turned to follow more leads. Twists and turns galore with appearances of characters from Where the Blame Lies. Sometimes history has a way of repeating itself or the exact opposite. And of course this isn\’t a straightforward, linear story, but more of a web of complexity that has been in the making for some time based on previous events. I couldn\’t put this down and felt the palpable, heart pounding emotions of the characters when the time was critical and lives were at stake and it was down to the wire. Definitely read Where the Blame Lies before this one although it\’s not required, but to fully appreciate what\’s transpiring in this book, it will make a whole lot more sense. Fantastic follow-up book!

What an amazing follow up to Where the Blame Lies!! From the minute I started reading the prologue of Where the Truth Lives, I knew I was going to be totally engrossed in this story. Talk about a heart stopper! Mia is such a master at creating arresting characters that I cannot stop thinking about. I really loved both Reed and Liza. Reed is a police detective who is assigned the case of a murdered Director of a mental facility. When he arrives at the scene of the crime, he runs into Liza, who is a Psychologist working there. Lo and behold, these two have met before, having shared a passionate one night stand recently. Reed had felt an immediate connection with Liza, but he had woken up alone after their tryst and believed he would probably never see her again. And now, to find out she is the person who discovered the dead body of the case he\’s working on? He\’s torn between remaining professional and doing his job, and trying to get to know Liza more. After reading Where the Blame Lies, I couldn\’t stop wondering how things played out going forward for Josie and Zach. I mean, I pretty much knew how their lives together were going to be, but there was a loose thread dangling that I just could not stop thinking about. And Mia ties that loose thread up in the best of ways in Where the Truth Lies. My heart was so, so happy visiting with Josie and Zach twenty years later. For me, Josie is one of the strongest, most resilient characters that Mia has ever written, and it was so wonderful to see that she was still the strong, tenacious woman who had survived so much horror in her young life. Once again Mia brings us a suspenseful, twisted story that had me guessing at every turn as to what was going to happen. She is such a master at leaving subtle clues along the way that as a reader had my mind spinning a mile a minute with all the possible scenarios that could be playing out. I\’m not going to lie, some parts of the story are not for the squeamish. Murders are occurring and they are gruesome. And it is up to Reed and his partner to solve the crimes before any more bodies pop up. I really was fascinated with this story! Being a Psychology geek myself, it was so interesting trying to get into the mind of whoever was committing these crimes. Someone else pops up in this story that I wasn\’t sure we would ever hear from again and those parts were the most fascinating of all for me. I feel like we finally got the closure we needed in regards to that previous storyline. Wow, just wow!! The reader really gets taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this story. There\’s a little bit of everything before the last page is turned. Mia always manages to suck me straight in and all I can do is hold on tight until I\’ve read the last word. It\’s a pulse pounding, nail biting read!! I really think these suspense stories of Mia\’s are becoming my favorites! I hope she plans to write more of them in the future!

Another fantastic book from Mia Sheridan. This is the follow up to Where The Blame Lies and is a thriller of the best sort with a touch of romance added. Wonderful writing with a story that kept me turning the pages well into the night, this will keep you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns this story will take you on. Detective Reed Davies is on a mission to find the Hollowed Eyed Killer who is leaving a trail of bloody bodies all over Cincinnati. In doing so he realises there is a connection between them all and also one which will lead to his past. This is a mastermind of a story, at times shocking and gory and will leave you forever guessing who the killer might be with absolutely stunning jaw dropping moments which I would never have guessed. The characters of Reed and Liza were just magnetic to read and so well written that I felt that I knew them personally and all that they were going through, and of course secondary characters were so good as well which added even more to this remarkable book. Mia Sheridan never lets me down when I read her books, but these two have to be up there as some of my absolute favourites. I hope she produces more thrillers in the future because there is just not enough of them around, and I so love them. Epic, wonderful, exciting reading – DO NOT MISS !!!!

This book is the excellent follow up to Where The Blame Lies and falls within the romantic thriller genre. Although it is not imperative that you read the first story before diving into this one, I would strongly advise that you read the first book just so that you have a firm grasp of the characters in this book and the events that shaped them. I have to say that I was completely blown away by this captivating, thought-provoking story which focused on homicide detective Reed Davies and his quest to hunt and stop the \”Hollowed Eyed Killer\” terrorising Cincinnati. The story was so well written that I felt as if I was actually holding my breath as I turned the last few pages. An excellent read!

I recwived my item today, because I live abroad and I was really dissapointed when I opened the package. The book I ordered is for b-day presant and the edges are all crumpled. How will I give this book now? I really can\’t believe this is happening right now. This is not my first order, but such thing happens for the first time. I really am dissapointed and will think twice before ordering again.
