In a remote town on the Suffolk coast, the local residents are stalked by a brutal killer.
After the sighting of strange lights in the sky, the dismembered, burnt remains of the local RAF base commander are discovered in his car. An autopsy reveals that the victim showed signs of exposure to high radiation levels.
Assistant Chief Constable Angela White enlists the aid of both John Handful and local reporter Yazmin Nash. The level of radiation the killer leaves in its wake should have killed any normal man by now, but the murders continue: the killer appears to be both more and less than human. And then when a leading government minister arrives the pressure is on for Handful to solve the case not only quickly but also quietly, by any means possible.
Until a strange craft is discovered...
Handful then turns from hunter to hunted, where everyone is playing for the highest stakes, and where violence becomes the only solution....

Read Between the Lies is a different beast from the rest of the John Handful series. Hixson moves away from the classic murder mystery and delves into a more political, and ghastly, kind of suspense.
The result is a good, action-filled investigation that will keep you on your toes.
The narration is, sadly, very uneven. Gerard Marquez has a nice voice. However, I felt that his expression did not always follow the mood of the text, especially in dialogues. Moreover, there are numerous occasions where the narration skips back one line, and repeats passages. Aside from that, it remains very listenable.
A surprising change of pace

All the characters seemed jammed together.
I like action but this was not realistic action.
Simply put the narration should have been checked BEFORE this went out. There is an almost constant sound of metallic clicking and so many double takes I was focused on them more than the book.
Book was ok but narration was bad

I'm not sure why we have a new narrator as Michael Sharp's narration was perfectly acceptable in bk 4, but I have to admit Gerard Marquez gave a great performance!
The major problem I had with this audiobook, was with the production itself! The audio version of the book had so many mistakes... just within the first 3 or 4 chapters, there was a handful of repeated words and/or phrases, and those goofy mistakes were shotgunned throughout the entire book! So, Grrrrrr on the audio editor who allowed those mistakes to slip by! The overall rating slipped down a 🌟 because of the editor, and hopefully that will be fixed soon...
I found the mystery quite engaging...
