" Where the Truth Lies is a beguiling suspense novel. It's sexy and surprising, witty and intriguing. I was hooked from the very first page." --Candace Bushnell, author of Sex in the City "A big, juicy book with pungent dialogue, vivid descriptions, [and] outsized characters . It's no surprise that when Holmes wrote a mystery it would prove so entertaining. Where the Truth Lies is a labor of love. Every scrap of lawyerese or Mafia-speak, every tidbit of Hollywood lore, every scene of mental or physical intoxication, every tightening of suspense is beautifully rendered, polished to a sheen. Holmes seduces us.
" -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Holmes, who has won honors galore for his inventive storytelling on Broadway, [delivers] a giddy fun-house ride through bygone eras." -- The New York Times Book Review "[A] tour de force . Pulitzers . do not commonly go to mysteries. But for Holmes to win his third Edgar--for first mystery novel--that would not be out of the question." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Hugely entertaining .

A glittering ride." -- Publishers Weekly "Engrossing from start to finish." -- Entertainment Weekly "Giddily sordid, ridiculously pleasurable." -- The Onion "Entertaining .
