And offres Nothing But the Truth by Charlie Cochrane NEUF

Some truths dont set you free.

The pandemic may be winding down, but for Chief Inspector Robin Bright, life never really goes back to normal. One second, hes having breakfast with his adorable husband-and their equally adorable Newfoundland, Hamish-and the next, he gets the dreaded call: a bodys been found. What offres initially appears to be a mugging gone wrong turns out to be murder, and Robin is on the case.

Adam Matthews is happy to act as a sounding board-much as he tries not to get involved-but when Robins case intersects with a mystery from within their own family, hes embroiled whether he likes it or not. Loquacious genealogists, secret pregnancies, and a potentially dubious inheritance all ensure that Adam wont be doing his hundred-and-one headteacher tasks in peace anytime soon.

Lies pile onto lies, and the more the story changes, the more the killer is revealed. Without proof, however, Robin and his team are powerless, and the murderer isnt the only one with something to hide. But Robin wont stop until hes found the whole truth, and nothing but.
