Everyone in the sleepy little town of Bodey, Colorado knows Jack Tulle as a widower, a doting father, and the honest owner of the general store. He sits on the town council. He dotes upon his eight-year-old, headstrong daughter, Abigail. But when the local saloon announces plans to host a poker tournament, Jack realizes it could spell trouble. One of the many secrets he's been hiding is that he used to be a swindler--mainly cheating at poker, but he had done worse when a situation presented itself. A contest like the one his town is planning is sure to draw some old business acquaintances--fellows Jack would really rather not admit to knowing. But the one man Jack is truly worried to see again is the one that knows more of Jack's past than any other Tom Jude, who was not merely his partner-in-crime; Jude was also the love of his life. When your world is built on so many lies, exposing a single one of them can bring a man's life crashing down.

Jack Tulle is a completely unique character with a totally hidden past and an openly respectful relationship with the townsfolk who like him and adore his precocious eight-year-old daughter Abigail. But how Jack got here with Abigail and how they will figure out how to keep going with their interestingly loving life together both gets thrown for a loop and also tied up neatly with a ribbon simultaneously with the arrival of one Tom Jude, who is the second most completely unique character in this book.Yes, there are a hundred little lies here, some of which Jack reveals along the way in his voice which is sardonic, stoic and at times hilarious. And some of those lies, especially toward the end, come together a little too quickly and somewhat superfluously, but there's also a beautifully drawn ending which softens the heart and stirs the soul. Nicely done.

A Hundred Little Lies edition by Jon Wilson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
At some time or the other, everyone lies, from little white lies to spare someone's feelings all the way to deceitful lies. Sometimes there are no consequences. However, when your existence is filled with more lies than truth, as Jack Tulle's in 'A Hundred Little Lies' by Jon Wilson, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish one from the other. Eventually the lies will come back to haunt you.
Jon Wilson did a good job of depicting life as it was in the old west without burying us in long, examinations of historical events. My favorite part of the story was Jack and Tom's love affair. As complicated as it was, it was also clear that Tom and Jack loved each other and that Tom especially, wanted to get back together with Jack so much that he would have done almost anything to repair their relationship, including accepting Abby, Jack's daughter, in their family. The love affair between Jack and Tom was particularly well written and strongly portrayed their feelings for each other. Through the torrent of emotions ranging from confusion, anger, frustration, hurt and passion, it was clear that the two men loved each other and, more than anything, wanted to be together.
The story moves along at a slow pace, revealing information in small doses as it progressed. For the most part, this technique enhanced the mystique of the tale; at other times it was frustrating. For instance, I would like to have had more information about Jack, Fiona, and Tom. Instead of trying to guess, having more background information would have helped me understand why Jack felt obligated to marry Fiona in the first place and desert Tom and especially why he kept Abby. When certain circumstances came up which didn't make sense to me, I'd backtrack looking for more clues. This slowed down my reading considerably. It would also have been helpful to have expanded some of the smaller stories in the book. As it was, I felt that they weren't worded out satisfactorily.
'A Hundred Little Lies' is Jon Wilson's first novel; written with an unusual narration style which included wit and dry humor mixed into the seriousness of the story and gave it a certain edge which couldn't have been achieved otherwise. I enjoyed this book and believe that any of you that like stories of cowboys, wild west, historical fiction, and of course, a compelling love story, will enjoy it too. I'd really be interested in seeing more of Jack and Tom, especially concerning how they deal with their lives together.
Just finished "A Hundred Little Lies" by Jon Wilson. Great story, loved it all. Not "just another western paperback" Great balance of characters and suspense, with unexpected turns, and tears. Like riding a nice saddle horse; comfortable, yet each new step an unknown. I am looking forward to his next novel.
I loved the folksy style and humor.
What a joy it is to find a new writer with a delightful imagination AND a command of the English language! I enjoyed this romance from beginning to end. The two men were fun to know. The story had depth and fully realized characters. I usually read this sort of romance only with a contemporary setting, but broke my rule as I liked the other reviews of the book. I am glad I took the chance and will buy anything else Jon Wilson writes. Lucky us!
Very good story. This is a western, although it does not feature cowboys but rather card sharks. Jack and Tom were once fellow grifters as well as lovers. Jack was comforted by a woman who he married and raised her child . He is now a pillar of the community who runs the general store. Jack and Tom parted ways when Jack married although he never made love to his wife. She died shortly after giving birth to a daughter and Jack devoted himself to the daughter and a life he thought to make him worthy after a misspent life. Tom comes back into his life after 8 years and then the story is told.
