Summary: "Couldn't put it down!"
Review: I have literally just put this book down and felt I had to put in my two cents (I've never written a review before). I've been a fan of 'Ms. Lowells' for a while now and her books have never let me down. Whether it is her medieval series, western stories or contemporary novels, she always writes engaging tales.
"Tell Me No Lies" had me hooked right from the beginning. I literally couldn't put the book down. The plot is full of interesting twists and turns and the look into espionage and undercover life kept me glued to my couch. All the characters are interesting and the two main characters burn through the book. Caitlin (the ex-CIA agent) is compassionate and deadly at the same time. While Lindsay (the art expert) is gutsy, vulnerable and passionate about what she believes in - Truth. Together they make a team which is believable, loveable and totally human. I'm even recommending this book to my husband who usually reads 'Koontz', 'King' and 'Clancy'. You will not be disappointed if you buy this book, whether your a fan of 'Ms. Lowells' or not. And if your not a fan yet you will be after this book and that's no lie.

Summary: Steamy, Sexy, and a Plot!
Review: I only wish all of E.L.'s books were this good. (I've only read a few.) It's rare in a romance novel to find realistic, well developed characters, an interesting and well researched plot, AND incredible sexual tension that keeps going until the end. Two thumbs up!

Summary: HOT !!!
Review: I was excited to see that "Tell Me No Lies" has been reprinted. This one book of Elizabeth Lowell's will bring you back to read all of her books. And I have read EVERY one. You'll learn the meaning of TRUST and how it can change your whole life. Catlin and Lindsay will take you on their journey that combine suspense and deep emotion that doesn't let up until the very last page. The raw heat between them is so real you'll feel it. If I only had to use one word for this book. "Brilliant"

Summary: Better than the Title
Review: I was put off by the title of this book, I guess Trust No One was taken. And I had to overlook the cover notes that said it was about Chinese art. I know nothing about the Chinese and thought I would get lost in a book about an ex-CIA operative in Asia. I was wrong. Before I completed the book I had spent happy hours on the internet looking for information on the art described in the novel and photos of the charioteer. Of course, a few years have passed since the book was written and the art is more accessable now, but for 20 years almost no one outside China saw these incredible bronze works. I learned a lot. Aside from the intrique this book is hot. Lowell works the familar formula of ex-CIA undercover guy hero in a way that is credible. And Lindsay, our heroine, is not a virgin or 20 years old. She is an independent woman with a life of her own. She and our hero do not fall into bed the first night, it takes them weeks to determine what they want. The are partners, they are forced to live together, eat together, and have conversations. Doing the job they get to know each other, and eventually they deliberately consumate their relationship. I recommend this book as the best I have read by Lowell and one of the best by any romance writer. Romance/suspense novels are uneven. I have yet to find a consistent writer who satisfies in everytime. I doubt that I will. This book has an unusual balance that is a surprise. I loved it.

Summary: A Keeper
Review: Many try, but few succeed. This book has a genuine sexual tension that just tingles along... It's got an interesting plot, in-depth characters, a description of China and Chinese artifacts that you don't often see in romances, but it is the sexual tension between Catlin and Lindsay that makes this a keeper, and one of Maxwell's (aka Elizabeth Lowell) best.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: One thing I really appreciate about Elizabeth Lowell is the amount of research she does into whatever "theme" she decides to use for her novels, be it jewels, or in this case, Chinese bronze sculptures. Not only does the reader get a gripping, fast moving novel of romantic suspense, there is the bonus of being introduced to a new and fascinating world. Her characters are both likeable and believable, her plots are intriguing, and the romantic angle brings everything together to make this a great, highly recommended read.

Summary: An Okay Storry but...
Review: Tell Me No Lies by Elizabeth Lowell is an okay story but I did not like the borderline race implications. Don't get me wrong I love this author and most of her novels, just not this one that much.
Rating: 
Summary: A Book That Will Not Disappoint!
Review: Tell Me No Lies is a suspenseful tale of Asian Culture and secret agents that only a seasoned pro like gifted storyteller Elizabeth Lowell could tell.
