Customer Reviews

Very good but no consequences shown

I really enjoyed this book. But the whole time I was waiting to find out how Pippa's lies would catch up with her. Then the end came and I didn't see any real consequences to her sin, nor to the lies the "blue chip" women told. I was waiting for Pippa's conversion, her realization that her "little white lies" were sinful but I didn't see that. At the end Gloria did something I would not have expected a Christian to do, it seemed out of character to her previous Christian witness.

Intriguing

In "Little White Lies", Janet and Ron Benrey have created a totally likable heroine, Pippa Hunnechurch. This British import, a hard-working, savvy headhunter, finds herself, while struggling to save her agency, suddenly caught in the middle of murder. With the help of her one-of-a-kind secretary, Gloria, Pippa sorts through the tangle of little while lies to find the truth. The end is both exciting and satisfying, and I, for one, hope Pippa returns soon with further adventures.

A great read

Little White Lies by Ron and Janet Benrey is an example of why the Christian marketplace deserves a second look by people who think it's dull, preachy and inferior to secular writing. Little White Lies refutes that notion in spades. The book has it all -- witty, sophisticated characterizations; a plot I couldn't stop reading; an engaging voice to introduce a protagonist I hope to see again and again in sequels. Loved it! Recommend it highly.Carolyn Curtis

In fact, the writing team adroitly interweaves their feelings into a well thought out who-done-it populated by four viable suspects and a determined headhunting "sleuth".Harriet Klausner
