THE BREAKDOWN B. A. PARIS MY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️ PUBLISHER St. Martin’s Press PUBLISHED June 20, 2017 A chilling page turner that will make you question everything you think you know! SUMMARY

It’s pouring, it’s dark and it’s a winding road. Cass sees a car on the side of the road. Should she stop. She pulls over but the woman in the drivers seat doesn’t act like she needs help. So Cass drives away. The next day, Cass heard the news that a woman was murdered in her car on that winding road right up from her house. It was the woman in the car. Cass knew that woman too. Cass had met Jane at a party several weeks earlier. Ever since that night, Cass has not been the same. She feels so guilty. She should have done more to help. She should have gotten out of her car. She never told anyone about seeing the car that night.

Next, she starts getting silent calls. Multiple times a day. She’s convinced they are from the murderer. He must have seen her that night. He is after her now! The calls, the murder and her guilt have upset her so much, that she has started forgetting things. Does she have dementia? She forgets things like: where she parked the car, signing a contract for an alarm, buying a baby pram or inviting friends over for dinner.

What she can’t forget is that rainy night in the woods, and the look on the woman’s face as she drove by.

REVIEW

The Breakdown is a gripping and intense read. From the moment Cass turns down that dark, winding road you can’t stop turning the pages. It’s addictive. Cass’s forgetfulness ever since the murder is gut wrenching but you can’t stop reading. Her life is like a roller coaster, but you can’t stop reading. Thankfully, her new husband and friends are supportive.

B. A. Paris writes a fabulous page turning thriller. Her writing is clear and succinct, and her pacing is quick. She does a great job of creating a horrifyingly realistic situation and describing it with ease. I couldn’t put it down until the last satisfying page was read.

B. A. Paris is the New York Times and USA today best selling author of Behind Closed Doors.

MY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️ PUBLISHER St. Martin Press PUBLISHED April 11, 2017

SUMMARY Chris Brennan was just hired for a teaching and coaching job at Central Valley High School. The problem was he wasn’t a teacher, he was a fraud. His resume was a fake. He had plans, other than teaching. He had scoped out the teachers and students before applying for this job. He was looking for someone, someone in particular. But first he needs to find an unwitting kid to help him with his plans. Someone he can pump for information. Someone on the baseball team.

In One Perfect Lie we meet Jordan, Raz, Evan, Dylan and their families. All of these boys are on the Musketeers baseball team, and they are all hiding secrets. Coach Chris intentional causes some friction among the team members. But why? Time is running short, he only has three days to figure out who is who. But who is Chris Brennan? Who is he looking for and why? Once he sees a picture, everything falls into place. Did he figure it out in time?

REVIEW One Perfect Lie is an enthralling crime story, set in a small town in South Central Pennsylvania. You can’t help but fall in love with Chris Brennan, almost all the girls at Central Valley High School have. He is single, good-looking and quite the gentleman. But he has a job to do, and it has all of his attention. he can’t afford to be thinking of anything or anyone else.

I was totally riveted by the story Lisa Scottoline weaves for us in this suspenseful drama, As Chris searches for someone to help him with his plans, we learn more about the teachers and families of Central Valley High School. We soon learn that not everyone is what they seem.

One Perfect Lie was simply an enjoyable book that kept me guessing till the end. I highly recommend it. It would be a great beach read!

I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Scottoline and hearing her speak at a local author event several months ago. She is a great author, an entertaining speaker, and a very impressive person. Her stories are so real and come from her heart, as well as her pen. One Perfect Lie is no different. I bet there is a good story behind this book!
