Lie Down with the Devil by Linda Barnes

4.0

I've read all of Barnes' Carlotta Carlyle mysteries and this is one of the better novels in the series. She strikes a good balance between Carlotta's personal life and a page-turning detective story, and we get to spend some extra time with supporting cast members who were missing or barely visible in the last book. A few of the plot points stretch suspension of disbelief, but this personal story will please fans and isn't a bad introduction to the character, if you are new to Barnes.
