Summary
Collision of Lies by Tom Threadgill is a mind-blowing suspense. More than once I was like who thinks of this stuff. The author reateed a world of fascinating characters, lighthearted moments and unique plot lines.
Amara is a police detective working burglaries. However she desperately wants to work homicides. She gets involved with the mom of one of the students that died in a horrific school bus accident three years ago. The mother thinks her son is still alive and convinces Amara to help her with a little bit of research into it.
I enjoyed the banter between Amara and Starsky (a homicide detective) and I still want to know how he got his nickname. I also enjoyed Sara, the Texas Ranger and Amara working together. The author created an excellent nerdy character in the coroner and very strong female leads in Sara and Amara.
The burglary case that Amara worked was a great addition to the story. The author created unique villians and
Quirky characters & surprising plot twists create a very fine story that is as unusual as it is entertaining.
Violence - children have been killed, no graphic details
