Lying With Strangers by Jonnie Jacobs MYS Jac


Chloe Henderson is only 18.  She has lived in foster homes and a group home.  Now she think things will be wonderful because she is living with her boyfriend Trace - and they are going to have a baby!  Most of the time Trace is nice to her - well, sort of, as long as she doesn't say or do anything to upset him.  Then one Sunday they stop at a convenience store.  Chloe is shocked when Trace tries to rob the store and ends up killing the clerk and a customer - who happens to be an assistant D. A.  Trace is wounded but Chloe manages to get him home and takes care of him.

In another part of town Dianna Walker is confused when she receives a phone call that her husband has been shot in a robbery.  Of course there is some mistake because he went to play golf (even after she tried to guilt him into staying home).  And besides he wouldn't be in that part of town.  Arriving at the hospital she learns that it is her husband and he is in a coma.  One time he woke up for a brief moment - and whispered the word "Mia".  Hmmmmm  wonder who that is.

Dianna struggles to figure out what her husband was doing that day.  And what about that skeleton that was uncovered across the country in Georgia?  Lots of intrigue!  I enjoyed reading this book.
