If you found the DaVinci Code lacking in authenticity, or if you loved the DaVinci Code but are tired of waiting for Dan Brown's sequel, this is the book you're looking for. The first in David Hewson's Nic Costa series will not disappoint.

Lucky for you, this one is just the first, and there are 6 more after.

Anything by Mary Kay Andrews (aka Kathy Hogan Trocheck) is the perfect antidote for the blues, but Little Bitty Lies is laugh out loud hilarious! This is the perfect beach read.
Having a deadbeat husband declared dead seems like the simple solution to a huge problem. Unfortunately, the problem with lies is that you usually have to tell another one, and another....which is where the fun is. You'll be in stitches as Mary Bliss tries to save her house and her sanity. (you'll also be keeping your fingers crossed that she succeeds!)
As with the Callahan Garrity mysteries she wrote under her real name, Andrews is a master at keeping you guessing and keeping you in stitches. This is one of my absolute favorites!
