Love, Lies and Murder by Leslie Wolfe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
First of all, this is a book of short stories all written by the same author. That doesn’t typically happen. I am used to reading compiled anthologies of various authors, so this was a nice change. And the theme of the stories was carried out fairly well, in my opinion. I found all of these intriguing in their own rights and quite engrossing. I found myself losing track of the time as I devoured these stories.
For those who are concerned about content, there is some strong language included in these stories at various times. The violence aspect isn’t too bad. Nothing terribly graphic is described; it’s more implied. I didn’t find myself overly concerned about the language for the most part, but it is there. Definitely an adult book or at least older teenage book, for sure.
This is the first time I have read anything by this author, and almost without exception, these stories were intriguing. It does take a certain knack to write a complete story that encompasses only a few pages. At times, the reader was left hanging at the end of the story. There were other times that if the reader did not completely read every detail, the reader may be very confused at the end. Twists and turns happened quite regularly. I believe some of these stories could make exceptional novels and series, and I found myself wanting more from a few of them. Notwithstanding, this is a simple read that is just the kind of book to curl up with on a summer evening. (You might not want to read some of these late at night as they are a bit unsettling!)

in October 2011. It was very well received, including inquiries from
Hollywood. Since then, Leslie published numerous novels and enjoyed
growing success and recognition in the marketplace. Among Leslie’s
most notable works, The Watson Girl
(2017) was recognized for offering a unique insight into the mind of
a serial killer and a rarely seen first person account of his
actions, in a dramatic and intense procedural thriller.
