The Paradise Valley Mystery series by Debra Burroughs consists of 12 entries published between 2012 and 2020. The series is set in the fictional town of Paradise Valley and unifies its titles around the word “lies”: The Scent of Lies, The Heart of Lies, The Chain of Lies, The Edge of Lies, The Betrayal of Lies, The Pursuit of Lies, The Color of Lies, The Harbor of Lies, The House of Lies, and The Season of Lies. Two boxed set compilations are also included in the listing.
The series blends mystery plots with romantic storylines, following characters in Paradise Valley as they uncover secrets and deceptions. The consistent naming convention ties the books together and signals the central theme of hidden truths that drives each story. With 12 entries spanning eight years, the series gave Burroughs room to develop both the town and its residents over time.
