Love and Other Lies
Book Feature - Love and Other Lies by Ben McPherson
HBL Note: “Cal and Elsa have the perfect relationship.” You know a couple is in for a rough ride when the book synopsis starts out so positively. I can just hear the ominous “dun dun dun” ring in my ears after a sentence like that. If the book synopsis lists how the characters’ lives are in disarray, you know it’ll be a fun read. But if their lives start out perfectly, the story will haunt you. In LOVE AND OTHER LIES by Ben McPherson Cal and Elsa’s daughter goes missing after a horrific shooting. She is neither among the dead or alive. Scroll down to read more.
