About this product

Product Information

"A dark and smart page-turner." -- The New York Times In this gripping debut procedural, a young London policewoman must probe dark secrets buried deep in her own family's past to solve a murder and a long-ago disappearance. Twenty-six-year-old Cat Kinsella overcame a troubled childhood to become a Detective Constable with the Metropolitan Police Force, but she's never been able to banish these ghosts. When she's called to the scene of a murder in Islington, not far from the pub her estranged father still runs, she discovers that Alice Lapaine, a young housewife who didn't get out much, has been found strangled. Cat and her team immediately suspect Alice's husband, until she receives a mysterious phone call that links the victim to Maryanne Doyle, a teenage girl who went missing in Ireland eighteen years earlier. The call raises uneasy memories for Cat--her family met Maryanne while on holiday, right before she vanished. Though she was only a child, Cat knew that her charming but dissolute father wasn't telling the truth when he denied knowing anything about Maryanne or her disappearance. Did her father do something to the teenage girl all those years ago? Could he have harmed Alice now? And how can you trust a liar even if he might be telling the truth? Determined to close the two cases, Cat rushes headlong into the investigation, crossing ethical lines and trampling professional codes. But in looking into the past, she might not like what she finds. . . .

This remarkable debut features detective Cat Kinsella, who still experiences 'constant low-level dread' from festering family secrets. When a body is discovered near her dad's London pub, Cat shakes off the fear that once 'muzzled' her, and unleashes herself on the investigation., I recently made the acquaintance of a new detective whom I rather liked. . . . [I] found myself intrigued by her heroine, 26-year-old Metropolitan Police Force detective constable Cat Kinsella. Like many fictional detectives, Cat has a troubled past, but she also has an agreeably caustic tongue and a questionable approach to ethics, and I enjoyed following her through a Tana French-ish procedural plot., With a portrait of Cat with depth and nuance, Frear creates as fascinating a character as readers are likely to encounter this year. A complex tale of depravity--and daddy issues that threaten to overcome Frear's protagonist--'Sweet Little Lies' represents a study in the damage that falsehoods inflict, a meditation on the grievances and grief of family--and a thumping good read., An assured debut . . . All the characters--minor or lead, living or dead--are well crafted. Frear also makes an impression with her vivid dialogue and prose . . . It's no secret that Lies is an engrossing read., Sweet Little Lies Is Written with Panache and Is Kick-Ass Feminist, As Well As Laugh-Out-Loud Funny., Sweet Little Lies is a tremendous debut. Caz Frear delivers on a compelling premise with taut prose, snappy dialogue, and a fresh, confident voice. Highly recommended!, Frear has fashioned a remarkably rich and sympathetic character in Cat, and her portrayal of dysfunctional families, especially their mix of world-weary dialogue interspersed with cutting comments, is cringingly realistic. . . . Impressive. . . will also work as a way of keeping Tana French fans happy while waiting for French's next book., Sweet Little Lies puts a modern, fresh twist on the procedural: from its stunning package to its compelling female lead, Sweet Little Lies is poised to be the must-read procedural of the summer. This one is well worth keeping on your radar for summer reading!, Cat's evolution from one-dimensional sad sack to complex, honest adult is both believable and welcome, putting her on par with Susie Steiner's and Tana French's female detectives. A truly satisfying--and gritty--mystery., A gripping mystery starring a fascinating female detective, Sweet Little Lies is an exciting debut procedural that will leave readers wanting more from Cat Frear.

Excellent New British Murder Mystery!
An excellent read if you love British police investigative murder mysteries. Compelling from beginning to end, with all of the characters very well-developed and intriguing. Cat herself is quite complex and somehow always gets you on her side despite her many flaws, a bit like Cormoran Strike.
