From New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Terri Blackstock comes Truth Stained Lies--a high-stakes suspense novel in which three sisters moonlight as detectives to uncover a truth everyone else refuses to see. Perfect for fans of Colleen Coble and Dee Henderson.

"Crisp prose, an engaging story, and brisk pacing make this thriller another home run for Blackstock."--Library Journal, starred review

Cathy Cramer is a former lawyer and investigative blogger who writes commentary on high-profile homicides. When she finds a threatening note warning her that she's about to experience the same kind of judgment and speculation that she dishes out in her blog, Cathy writes it off as mischief . . . until her brother's wife is murdered and all the "facts" point to him. The killer has staged the crime to make the truth too far-fetched to believe. Working to solve the murder and clear her brother's name, Cathy and her two sisters, Holly and Juliet, moonlight as part-time private investigators. Juliet, a stay-at-home mom of two boys, and Holly, a scattered ne'er-do-well who drives a taxi, put aside their fear to hunt down the real killer.

Stakes rise when their brother's grieving five-year-old son is kidnapped. As police focus on the wrong set of clues, the three sisters and their battered detective friend are the only hope for solving this bizarre crime, saving the child, and freeing their brother.

Terri Blackstock delivers another unputdownable blend of danger, heart, and redemption--proof that even in the darkest circumstances, light and truth still prevail. Pick up Truth Stained Lies and see why millions of readers can't stop turning the pages of her bestselling suspense novels.

Enter the world of the Moonlighters series (Truth Stained Lies, Distortion, Twisted Innocence), where three sisters navigate faith, family, and danger in a gripping journey of truth and second chances.

What the critics say

“A story rich with texture and suspense, this family murder mystery unfolds with fast pacing, with a creepy clown murder suspect and threatening blog visitor to boot.”
“Crisp prose, an engaging story, and brisk pacing make this thriller another home run for Blackstock (Downfall). Recommend it to readers who enjoy material by Lynette Eason and Erin Healy.”
“The first book in Blackstock’s new Moonlighter series is intriguing, with a fast-moving plot. There are a large number of connected characters, and it is quite difficult to keep everyone straight, along with their relationships and complicated backstories. Here’s hoping that as the series progresses and more details are revealed, this will improve.”
“Truth Stained Lies is the first in what’s likely to be a very popular new series for Blackstock. Her characters are flawed, faltering in their faith, and ultimately human. They’re the kind of people you wish you had as friends. This latest novel should appeal to millions of existing fans and millions of new fans who just don’t know it yet.”

So many dumb errors in the story. At one point the character that was talking refers to her sister’s and used the character that was speakings name. Uggg. Then the medical details are ridiculous
Poor writing, not a bad story but the whiny narration and the many errors take away from the story.

Poor editing? Or just a junior author?
