White Lies

White Lies by Jayne Ann Krentz is the next book in her Arcane Society series. She started the series with a historical under her Amanda Quick byline- see earlier posting for Second Sight. This one is a great addition to the series and leaves you wondering where she is going to go next.

She has some great characters - Clare Lancaster is a parasensitive (let's just say right here - that if you can not get into this concept - don't bother with the series.) who has a unique talent. She is a human lie detector. She can tell the level of your lie and has realized for the sake of her sanity, that basically everyone lies. She's gotten involved with trying to help her half-sister, but the problem is that the last time she was in town she discovered her half-sister's husband dead. And now when she is town again, it looks like someone is trying to get rid of her. And then she finds another body...and she is managing to keep her sense of humor! Meanwhile she is getting noticed by her father's business associate, Jake Salter. She realizes he is another parasensitive and that he is hiding behind some lies. But at the same time, she is attracted to him. And he seems very interested in her...

So who is telling the truth? And who is lying? Everybody lies right? And how evil are their lies? Who is killing members of the Arcane Society? And just what Arcane Society conspiracy is going on? I'm not saying anymore! You gotta read it. A great start to a (hopefully) long series! Enjoy!
