Critic reviews

"Eden's characters are complex and likable, and her plot speeds along breathlessly to a surprising and sizzling conclusion." (Publishers Weekly)

Great book

Where does Deadly Lies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved this book...lots of suspense...good romance and for once they figured out who the killer was and didn't fall into an obvious trap so in this series it is definitely ranked pretty high

What was one of the most memorable moments of Deadly Lies?

I was really surprised when I found out who the main killer was...that was the most memorable...I love it when I don't figure that out

What about Justine Eyre’s performance did you like?

I like her voice for female character but dislike the way she makes it for the male characters...it really is hard to listen to at first

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It really surprised me who the killer was. I don't want to spoil anything for someone who has not read yet but the the scene with the main father and the son made me cry. I was also teary with one of the other fathers...don't want to spoil it so not going into detail.

Any additional comments?

This is one of my favorites for this series

CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!

OMG!!! Great book....although Deadly Fear is my favorite of the series so far. Can't wait for the next book Audible releases for Eden.

Good story, annoying narrator

What made the experience of listening to Deadly Lies the most enjoyable?

It was a good romantic mystery, I did think I had figured it out but wasn't sure I was right until the very end. Strong characters, mysterious plot, and great hero and heroine.

What did you like best about this story?

It kept me on the edge thru the entire story.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Her voice was always shaky and breathy. The voices and accents were so bad and I couldn't tell if they were thinking or if they spoke, I really missed quotation marks in this one and think the book would have been the better choice.

Absolute Great Book

Deadly Lies was intriguing almost from the start. I was enthralled from the beginning of the book. I was amazed by the maze the author set up for me. I wanted to be one of the people in the book, trying to figure it all out. when everything started coming to light I was just going crazy, trying to tell the characters who it was, who to look for, and what to do as if they could hear me. I didn’t exactly figure it all out because there were so many people involved. When the actual kidnapper/killer came to light I wanted to get into the book and kill him myself. This book was filled with intrigue, treachery, love, hate, and a whole host of emotions. I couldn’t believe it all, but I was fascinated by the picture she painted, and how it all turned out. To me, this was the best book in the trilogy, and the author made me want to read more of her books. Unfortunately, Audible doesn’t have any more of her books. Hopefully, they’ll get a few more.

Again, the reader was good. Sometimes, a narrator can make or break a book, but in this case, she did a good job of making the book as good as the author did.

Deadly Lies Deadly Series Book 3

It is the best work of Cynthia Eden and I have enjoyed every bit of this book from book 1 to 3. The last book was the best of all. Cynthia did not disappoint at all.

Terrific Series - Not So Terrific Narration

What did you love best about Deadly Lies?

The story - this whole series is very well written and interesting. Cynthia Eden keeps you on the edge of your seat with the plot. It is very cleverly written and hot, hot hot.

What didn’t you like about Justine Eyre’s performance?

Terrible southern accents. I don't know why the narrator gives this whole team southern accents. I don't think any of them except maybe Luke Dante is supposed to be from the south. Between wanting the narrator to cough or clear her throat and her really, really bad southern accent - it was difficult at times not to be pulled out of the story.

Any additional comments?

The story was really good enough to overcome the really bad narration - but it's too bad they didn't select a more skilled narrator. There is nothing worse than someone who is obviously not from the south trying to sound like they are :-)

3 wasn't the best

I liked 1 and 2 in 3 I don't know how they kept her as an agent. She gave a black eye to professional women. She was bedding a suspect and told her boss she wouldn't do what she was suppose to do she was a very weak person and a bad agent 3 could be scrapped
