One Little Lie by Colleen Coble

Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there's no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she's facing someone out to destroy the only family she has.
After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?
Reid Bechtol is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane's career. Jane has little interest in the attention, but the committee who appointed her loves the idea of the publicity.
Jane finds herself depending on Reid's calm manner as he follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them may be impossible to cross—especially once her father’s lie catches up with him.
One little lie changes everything for Jane.  She has overcome a lot since fleeing the cult with her father.  Her father has since become sheriff of Pelican Harbor and retired.  Jane has taken over as interim sheriff.  Reid wants to do a documentary on Jane as a female small town sheriff.  Pelican Harbor is a sleepy little town with hardly any crime.  Then murders start to happen.  Somehow her dad is connected to them.  The FBI gets involved and want to arrest her dad.  Who can she trust.  Reid is hiding something, her dad is hiding something.  
This is a great mystery.  I'm anxious for book two.
I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
