It will keep you guessing.,
By "tigd" (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Truths and a Lie (Hardcover)
It had been a while since I had read a murder mystery and when I began searching for one to read the title of this one got my attention. Dair, a stage actress, quickly finds herself in the middle of the suspicious death of her best friend who is an actor that she often plays opposite of. The police have dismissed the death as a drug related suicide but Dair doesn't believe it was a suicide. Dair has her suspicions about who the murderer is but is she right? As she copes with her best friend's death she must also deal with her own problems. She is battling to convince herself that she doesn't have a drinking problem. Dair constantly lies and she is afraid one of her biggest lies will hurt the person she is closest too-her husband. Her husband, Peyton, has his own secrets and lies, as do most of the characters in this book. Kittle uses the backstage atmosphere and the life of the performers off stage as the backdrop for this novel full of twists that will keep readers guessing. The cast of characters include actors, dancers, directors and even the stagehands. Dair's mother, someone that can talk to animals, plays a large role and her unique ability to communicate with animals makes her another of the unforgettable characters in the novel. There were a number of characters to keep straight in this novel, but the uniqueness of each of them coupled with their genuineness made it easy. I will definitely be on the lookout for more by Katrina Kittle.

Intricate and Fascinating Mystery,
By Monica Schiffler (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Truths and a Lie (Hardcover)
Wow! What a unique book. I couldn't put it down. Murder, mystery, addiction, reincarnation, acting and animal communication are just some of the many elements involved in this intricate and fascinating story. In simplest terms, it can be described as a mystery, but it's also so much more. Set in Cincinnati, Ohio, the book explores our relationships with and how we communicate with other people as well as with animals. In fact, animals play a huge role in helping to solve the primary mystery of the story: the murder of one of the best friends of the protagonist, Dair Canard. If Dair could just overcome her addiction to alcohol, all the answers would be clear for her to see. And then there's her addiction to lying, which is getting her into deeper and deeper trouble. As Dair fights to overcome her addictions, she reconnects with her family and with an ability she had long buried. And she finds out that one of her biggest lies actually contained a truth that even she was unaware of. Also, I must mention that this book contains one of the most memorable fictional characters I've ever encountered: Captain Hook, an African Grey parrot who provides one of the keys to solving the mystery and who helps to bring a small community of neighbors closer together.

Fact or Fiction,
By Diane "dianemax" (Newfoundland, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two Truths and a Lie (Hardcover)
Dair Canard is a master at lying. She has embellished on so many stories that she cannot tell fact from fiction anymore. She realizes her problem when her lying begins to affect her relationship with her husband Peyton. Addiction and lies are at the centre of this novel. Dair has a drinking problem, something else which she cannot admit to herself. Peyton has his own addiction which he struggles with every day. In the midst of these problems, there is a murder mystery unraveling. The death of Dair and Peyton's close friend, Craig. Kittle throws some twists and turns into this plot and we are able to see the wonderful character development along the way. The whole premise of this story is to communicate, with each other and with all creatures, respect for one another is of utmost importance. Dair has to learn to be honest with those around her and herself. I loved Katrina Kittle's first novel, Traveling Light. It was an amazing story told with heartfelt honesty. This follow up, while different than her first novel, is equally as good. The writing grabs you and doesn't let go. I can't wait for her next creation.
