Cosy Crime

The Woven Lie by Liz Harris is a light-hearted historical cosy crime novel that entertained me from the start. It is the third book in The Three Sisters series but can be read as a stand-alone.

The action takes place in a village in Suffolk in 1948 as we join a young woman who has a new job in charge of a local museum.

We witness the passion for the ancient artefacts. We also witness her naivety as she learns on the job and is far too trusting.

Greed is a terrible master. There is sure to be a downfall when greed motivates actions.

The rural setting introduces the reader to a close-knit community where not everyone is quite as they seem.

Times are changing as we move away from the war years. 1948 saw the birth of the NHS. We follow characters who are implementing those changes.
