Forgotten murders, false identities, and fiery attractions: these two page-turning crime fiction novels capture the complexities of Southern womanhood. Ashley Elston’s First Lie Wins follows a mysteriously disguised protagonist as she navigates her new assignment – except this time, she’s falling for her target. Amy Tintera’s Listen for the Lie centers on a suspected killer who can’t remember her best friend’s murder and a handsome true-crime podcaster determined to find out the truth. Fans of romantic thrillers and murder mysteries won’t want to miss this riveting conversation.
