Secrets and Lies is a delightful addition to the “Lies” mystery thriller series. Full of thrilling exploits, good guys you’ll love and bad guys you’ll despise, the story keeps you riveted from the first page to the last.
This reader loves Andrew Cunningham’s two main characters, Del Honeycutt and Sabrina Spencer, who display immeasurable loyalty to friends and each other, as well as providing some nice romantic moments and multiple examples of the author’s dry wit. But I have to say I’ve always been nearly as fascinated with two of Cunningham’s secondary characters. Seymour—a grumpy, grizzled man who lives in an apartment in Del’s East Boston house—has always provided a comedic relief. In this book, he comes alive when his past is exposed in a shocking rush of events. Molly Peters, who also lives in the apartment building, is a gay second-grade teacher whose martial arts skills are as surprising as her salty language. Mo is another great favorite, and fortunately for us she joins the above three cast members for a wild adventure centered in the Florida Everglades. The descriptions of this watery world are absolutely vivid and will make readers feel as if they are sitting in the airboat with the moist wind rushing through their hair, nervously watching the grassy ‘glades for slithering lumps with yellow eyes.
From the first pages where thugs try to break into Seymour’s apartment to kill him, to the search for a mysterious box missing from an airplane crash twenty years ago, to the wild and heart-pounding chase scenes through the Everglades on a speeding air boat, there is barely a moment to breathe between spinetingling scenes.
As Seymour’s story unfolds, it is soon revealed that the missing box contains samples taken twenty years ago from a “fountain of youth” whose scientific properties were documented and whose location has been closely guarded over the years. The bodies begin to pile up as our foursome narrowly escapes one life-threatening scene after another. Their goal? Discover if this mythical fountain is indeed genuine and hand it over to a legit scientific group, while meanwhile saving their own lives.
Threatened by multiple villains, including a rogue FBI group, Del, Sabrina, Seymour, and Mo fight to survive in this alligator-ridden, swampy rollercoaster ride. Come join them in an unparalleled adventure sure to please!
