5.0 out of 5 stars
Another great title!, 15 Mar 2009
I really loved this book. Not only is it a great mystery, Lauren really manages to capture tiny details about being a teenager that I vaguely remember. It makes it all the more realistic and the reader can really engage with all the characters, particularly Scarlett. A stonking great crime novel as well. I'm also hoping there's another one. Actually, with an ending like that, how can there not be? As I've said somewhere before, this woman gives good twist. Buy it. It's an engrossing, absorbing read.

Scarlett Wakefield needs to figure out why what happened to Dan McAndrews occurred.
Scarlett has settled into life at Wakefield Hall with her grandmother and Aunt Gwen, but the gnawing need to know just won't leave Scarlett. So with the help of her new friend, Taylor, the two set off to finally discover the truth of who wanted Dan dead.
When Scarlett and Taylor aid Nadia, an old St. Tabby's acquaintance, to get information, the two girls soon realize that they may be looking for the wrong suspect. Originally convinced that her nemesis, Plum, was behind Dan's death, the two girls discover that another girl, Lucy, arrived at the fateful party carting the same limited edition Marc Jacobs handbag.
Convinced that the answers Scarlett requires reside with Dan's family, Scarlett writes a letter to his parents, asking if she can meet with them. Surprised that the invitation comes so quickly, Scarlett heads to Castle Airlie for a long weekend.
While there, Scarlett meets Lucy, Catriona, Callum, and Dan's parents. Scarlett is sure there is a secret hidden at the Castle, but she is running out of time. When Taylor surprises Scarlett by showing up, the two quickly work to solve the mystery of Dan's death.
Unfortunately, I can't give more details than this or I will spoil the surprises and twists that Ms. Henderson has created in KISSES AND LIES. The story is even more suspenseful than its predecessor, KISS ME, KILL ME.
With new characters to create drama and secrets, the reader wants to reach the end to find out all the answers. I couldn't put the book down because I was so pulled into the intrigue that was occurring at Castle Airlie. I will admit that the reader should read KISS ME, KILL ME prior to picking up KISSES AND LIES. There is a lot of background information that is lost without having read the first novel.
And the ending of KISSES AND LIES leaves the reader hoping for yet another book in the series...
