Lies That Bind (Logan McKenna Series Book 6) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Jennifer Wolbeck

Lies That Bind by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lies That Bind is a murder mystery that spans multiple generations. Set in a small town off the coast of Oregon, the story opens with the death of an heiress to the oldest and most prestigious hotel in the area. Follow Logan McKenna, a newcomer to Oregon, as she and her friends try to make sense of the heiress’s death, and Frankie Collins, the founder of The Collins Hotel and family fortune. I enjoyed following the dual narratives of Logan in the 21st century and Frankie’s story from the 1930’s, and I felt like the novel’s structure and concept is executed well enough to provide a good read. However, I preferred Frankie’s side of the story, and I found myself reading through Logan’s storyline just to get back to reading about the events of the past. I didn’t develop any particular attachment to Logan’s plot or her character. Overall, Lies That Bind is a good murder mystery that explores the themes of family, death and greed.
