In One Little Lie, book one of The Pelican Harbor Series, author Colleen Coble transports the reader to the Gulf Shores area of Pelican Harbor, Alabama, for an intriguing Romantic Suspense story that will keep the reader guessing and turning the pages.
Jane Hardy has been promoted to the position of police chief for the town of Pelican Harbor. Reid Dixon is a well-known investigative journalist who makes documentaries. He's come to Pelican Harbor to make a documentary on the small town police department with a focus on Jane being a female police chief. But that's not the only reason Reid's come to town, he and Jane share a common past, both belonged to the Mount Sinai cult when they were kids, and he has a secret that he's held for fifteen years.
With a vigilante on the loose, dead bodies piling up, and her dad being set up for theft and implicated in a murder, Jane has a lot on her plate. Jane reluctantly agrees to let Reid assist her in helping find the killer, and clear her father of the charges he faces. But that's not all, because of one little lie, Jane and Reid's past is brought to the surface, and a tense confrontation uncovers the truth.
Author Colleen Coble weaves a fast-paced and suspenseful tale written in the third person narrative that follows Jane and Reid's investigative journey in search of the person who is setting up her father, while dealing with the complexity of a secret past that they once shared. The reader will be easily drawn into this well written story with its richly descriptive plot and setting.
The author does a wonderful job of transporting the reader to Pelican Harbor, inviting them to be a backseat passenger as Jane and Reid's investigation and secret past unfolds. The drama and suspense is intense and will keep the reader engaged and guessing the identity of the vigilante, the identity of the person responsible for setting up Jane's father, and what will happen next. But alas, the author teases the reader with a cliffhanger ending, as Jane and Reid's story continues in Two Reasons To Run, the second book in The Pelican Harbor Series.
One Little Lie has enough drama, tension, action, flashbacks and clues from the past, a growing list of suspects, a hint of a romance, and unexpected twists and turns that will take the reader on one heck of a thrilling roller coaster ride.

A Great Series
I want to share with you Two Reasons to Run! It’s #2 in The Pelican Series by Colleen Coble, from Thomas Nelson. I really enjoyed One Little Lie earlier this year. I recommend you read them in order, so you understand Jane’s story!Jane is appointed the interim sheriff after her father retires. She is nervous about their past coming back to get them, because her and her father escaped from a cult 15 years earlier! The last thing Janes needs is anyone interfering, so when she is assigned to have Reid, well known for his documentaries, follow her around, she knows everything will be chaos.After a scandal from One Little Lie and being reunited with her son, Jane is not ready for the terrorist plot and murder aboard an oil platform! Jane and Reid must work together to prevent everything from going wrong.This series is fast paced and a great read. As a sheriff Jane is tough and with her cult background she really doesn’t trust anyone. But I also like that she is very human in the story and you really feel for her. I like a series like this because the author can deep dive in to the characters! Jane is a character you will cheer for and I’m looking forward to last book in the series Three Missing Days out next year!
