Book Description:
First they stole her trust. Now they want her life.
April Manning’s generous nature has always been a gift, and her greatest weakness. After being conned out of her life savings she’s left with an eviction notice and one last hope: reclaiming her old job at an architectural firm, even if it forces a showdown with head architect Hunter Ellis, her cheating ex-boyfriend.
There’s only one small hitch. The owner of the firm is dead, and the last thing April expects to find is the bloody murder weapon on her doorstep.
As the killer runs free, disturbing reminders arise from April’s troubled childhood, and suspicion flares at every turn…from the mysterious new handyman, to an estranged family member she’s tried to forget. Only one thing is certain. Death is stalking April, and she must unmask the killer before they land the fatal blow.

I did not see that coming
I am a fan of the author Ms. Marlene, and this new book of hers, "Lies To Forever," did not disappoint me. I did not see that coming, but you have a feeling that it is she behind all the troubles that April has been going through.
April has the bad luck in the world of being evicted, witnessing a murder, losing money, and every bad luck a woman can ever encounter in her life. She has a pure heart of gold. It is so suspenseful. This book is so good. It is hard to put down. Despite the bad luck that she encountered, there are still good people who will help her.
Sometimes in our lives, we encounter people who have always had bad motives. We just need to figure it out, and sometimes it is too late, like April. She is a fighter, and I adore this girl. What a way to end the story. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.
