Pig Little Lies by Erin Johnson takes a whole new turn of events for Jolene and her friends.

A pyramid scheme’s owner dies, and everything unfolds. Who could have killed her?

Jolene Hartgrove

Jolene has to deal with a lot in this new chapter of her life. After telling Peter the truth, he just stops talking to her, and when they have to work a case together, it’s all awkward. Not only does Jolene have to deal with all of that, but she also has to worry about her two friends. Unfortunately, Jolene has a lot on her plate in this installment. What I like about Jolene is that she is trying to act normal around Peter as she used to, which doesn’t work. The other thing that I like about her is that she is getting along with Daisy.

Peter Flint and Daisy

Peter is, of course, Jolene’s police contact and love interest. Sadly, in this installment, he is still trying to get his mind around that Jolene has lied to him from the moment that they met. He also hasn’t been doing well, and that is making Daisy worry about him. I like that Daisy is concerned about Peter and is talking to Jolene in the hope of making Peter will feel better. However, I dislike that Peter doesn’t give Jolene a chance to try to explain about shifter rules to him so that he can get an idea about how hard it is for Jolene.

The Mystery

The mystery is that one of the owners of Potent Potions, the pyramid (Ponzi) scheme dies at their seminar to get more people on board for selling their products. Jolene and Peter uncover what the company has been hiding and not wanting anyone to know. Just who had the best motive to off one of the faces of the company? Try not to fall for the red herrings.

Five Stars

Pig Little Lies by Erin Johnson was another superbly written novel from this fantastic author. Each time a new one comes out, I am always left guessing about who the murderer is and what their motive is. Along with what Ms. Johnson is going to do in the next installment. I completely guessed wrong on who it was in this one. I am giving Pig Little Lies a five-star rating and recommending it to all cozy paranormal readers out there in the world.
