When a young environmental activist is killed after discovering dead birds near an illegal dumping site, the hunt is on for a reason for her murder. A local copper producer is the chief suspect, but with little to go from local law enforcement LA detective Kara Quinn is undercover as a bartender in Patagonia, Arizona. FBI agent Matt Costa investigates, but finds he is drawn to Kara and quite protective of her. As Kara begins to date a relative of the copper producers, she soon finds more than she was expecting, and it becomes clear that the dumping isn’t the only bad thing being done in the desert.
Allison Brennan’s Tell No Lies has human trafficking, illegal dumping, and murder. If you’re looking for something to take the edge off the continued pandemic, or just in need of a good mystery, grab a copy and take a seat my friends. Kara Quinn is a fun character, and tough as nails. Matt Costa is a little less enjoyable to me, but overall you’re here for the story and maybe a brief something-something with the characters, right?
Tell No Lies is available March 30, 2021.
