Publisher's summary

Relationships are challenging enough for most single, over-30 women. For level-10 parasensitive Clare Lancaster, they're a minefield. The elite few who know her secret call her a human lie detector, and any falsehood, no matter how subtle or well hidden, sets her blood racing.

Over the years, Clare has come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talents is unlikely to find a suitable mate. And she's even resigned herself to the fact that everyone, to one degree or another, hides behind a façade - including her recently deceased brother-in-law.

When Clare finds the body of Brad McAllister, the golden child of Stone Canyon, Arizona, the posh residents turn a suspicious eye in her direction. As Archer Glazebrook's daughter, Clare is shielded from the law, but not the gossip. It seems that meeting the half sister and family she did not know until seven months ago was a mistake. Now her father summons her from California to play a role in his business empire, and Clare doesn't intend on making the same mistake twice.

But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer's "business consultant", she is convinced that things aren't what they seem. Salter's careful conversation walks a delicate line between truth and deception, revealing and resisting. Something sparks and sizzles between them - something more than the usual electricity between a man and a woman.

Caught in a dizzying storm of secrets, lies, and half-truths, Jake and Clare will plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts. Together, they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a web of conspiracy and murder.

Listen to another Arcane Society novel.

Critic reviews

"Krentz delivers another evocative romance, complete with engaging dialogue and explicit sex scenes, but the real meat of the plot concerns the sleuthing: that a charismatic alpha male finally meets his mate is icing on another densely plotted Krentz confection." ( Publishers Weekly)

Good depiction of psychic abilities

I like the way Krentz handles psychic abilities as something that affects the user on many levels and subservient to characterization and plot. Always a good mystery and complex twists.

Female Narrator seemed to struggle

White Lies was a rather simple but pleasant story and I wasn't sure what I would think of having two narrators, but figured I would give it a try. For the most part, I didn't mind it at all but wasn't wild about it either.

The issue I had with narration was the female narrator's seeming struggle to attain different voices for different female characters. I'm not sure if her range is limited or if she was trying too hard but the "breathy" voice she created for the heroine's sister made me grit my teeth every time I heard it. The continual stopping for a breath in mid-sentence and the way it was voiced made it sound like that character had emphysema or had just run a marathon. I lost track of the story in the midst of hating the character voice every time she spoke.

Please, no more "breathy" voiced characters.

Another stunning Arcane story

As always, Krentz delivers a story with emotions and intensity. A great addition to the Arcane series.

Decent

Maybe because I liked this book so much in print, but the production of the book wasn’t great the male voice sometimes sounded like he was reading through a tin can. It also felt as if they where just reading as appose to being a voice actor with inflections

Awesome narrators!

I've read this book before, but I have to say this team of narrators really brought it to life for me. I wish this team had more collaborations.
I can definitely recommend this book and any other narrated by this team. The best narrated book I have ever listened to!

Poor reading skills

Readers were overly dramatic in odd places, and having two readers was not at all pleasant. I really hated this rendition of the book.

Good but shallow

Not a lot of depth in the characters and a little slow. but it picks up half way in.
