Summary
When English accountant Daniel Elliott dies in a car accident one rainy night, his widow, Grace, is overcome with grief... and panic. Daniel was controlling and their marriage loveless, but he always took care of the sheltered Grace. Or so she thought. She soon discovers Daniel kept secrets: an alias, mob ties, a list of numbers, a mysterious beach house in Florida... and a girlfriend who looks like Grace.
Swallowing her fear, she flies to Miami to claim the house Daniel left her. But the price of her curiosity is peril. Underworld figures stalk her. The other woman has left a damning trail of evidence pointing her way. And handsome, troubled FBI agent Jack West has crossed precarious paths with Grace before. He could be her savior or her damnation. All she knows for certain is that she longs to be in his arms.
With little to go on and danger at every turn, Grace must depend on Jack to help her navigate the criminal world of south Florida, and find the truth behind the Ring of Lies.

I Didn't Want to Stop Listening - Great Suspense!
If you could sum up Ring of Lies in three words, what would they be?
Intriguing, page-turner, well-written
What other book might you compare Ring of Lies to, and why?
I would say this genre is simliar to Mary Higgens Clark's books - and just as well done! The writing flowed seamlessly, the dialog felt completely natural, the suspense never let up, and the action scenes were riveting. I loved listening to this book!
What does Michelle Ford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I fell in love with Michelle Ford's female English accent. It was gorgeous, and reminded me of a grown up Haley Mills based on my childhood memories of PollyAnna. (Not that this book is anything like PollyAnna!) Her voice is lyrical, warm, and simply beautiful. Ms. Ford's American male accent was a bit "nasal" sounding for all of the American men in the story, and once in a great while she slipped from one accent to the other in the wrong places, but it was rare and didn't bother me. I could NEVER do what this amazing narrator did, which is hold up a conversation with a Brit and an American all the way through the book. I imagine it might be very difficult to do, and I bow down to her immense talent.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
An innocent woman discovers shocking secrets about her husband after his death, aided by an FBI agent she can't resist, and who has his own share of troubles to hide.
Any additional comments?
I really loved the main character, Grace. She was well-rounded and quite believable. Jack...well, I'm a guy. At first he ticked me off because of his situation at home. I believe in family first and no fooling around! But then more came out about Jack's true situation (no spoilers here!) and in the end I empathized with him and was cheering him on.
I particularly loved the action scenes - there is a swamp scene where Grace and Jack are on the run from villains, dashing through the cold swamp waters...phenomenal! Also thoroughly enjoyed the description of the house in Florida. Wouldn't mind going there right about now!

Mystery, suspense and romance rolled into one
Michelle Ford does a great job narrating this book. Her voices for both male and female characters were good and I believed in the chemistry between the main characters.
How well do you know your spouse? With multiple secrets being exposed after Grace’s husband Daniel dies, it’s clear the answer is she didn’t know him at all.
This story begins in London and takes us across the Atlantic to Florida as we follow Grace on her journey to uncover all the lies and discover who Daniel really is.
Her partner on this journey is Jack West, FBI agent and a man she met 6 months prior when they were allocated seats next to each other at a tennis tournament. From the outset, it’s clear Grace and Jack are attracted to each other.
If you’re looking for a complicated whodunit, this is not the book. Even I, a person who tends to miss the obvious when reading mystery books, was able to identify who the murderer was early on.
The book delivers a good dose of mystery, suspense and romance and I enjoyed listening to it. I will be adding this author to my want-to read list.

Predictable
Quite light weight story. Plenty of violence, love making. I guessed most things in advance. Thank you for this copy.

A great Mystery
Disclaimer: I got the audio book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
The book drew me right in, and after the first few pages, there was no escape -- I just *had* to listen on, and on, all through the night . ;)
I love a good mystery, and if there's some romance to boot, I can't ask for more.
The idea is great, and the execution is excellent. I've never been to the USA, leave alone Florida, but I could picture it all.
The narrator was excellent, too, which greatly added to my enjoyment of this novel!
This is my second novel by this author, and I'll definitely check out other novels by her, and I'll check other narrations by Michelle Ford, too.

Good read
I really enjoyed this book and was gripped from start to finish. Although a little predictable in parts it is well written and a bit more interesting than your usual romance holiday read.

Great story
This was a really good book, loved the characters and the narrator was very good too.
The story is interesting and to be honest I stayed up all night listening because I needed to know who was who (you need to read the book to understand) and who did what!
I would highly recommend this book.
