"What I Saw and How I Lied" by Judy Blundell

Recently, I finished the book "What I Saw and How I Lied" by Judy Blundell after hearing about it from other librarians that couldn't put it down. The story starts out post-World War II, and Evie's father has just returned from serving in the war. Her father starts a successful business, but not long after his return home, he is getting phone calls from a fellow soldier. A spur of the moment vacation to Florida leads to new friends they meet at their hotel, new opportunities for the family, and a new romance for Evie. As the story progresses, a mystery unfolds involving Evie's dad, her mom, and a soldier that Evie's dad met during the war. The mystery keeps you reading to the very end to uncover secrets, lies, and murder. I enjoyed the mystery of this book, and liked how the details unfolded.
