Triple Threat #1
Face of Betrayal
FOX News legal correspondent and former Federal Prosecutor Lis Wiehl has created a suspense series as timely as tomorrow's headlines.
While home on break, a seventeen-year-old Senate page takes her dog out for a walk and never returns. The resulting media firestorm quickly ensnares television reporter Cassidy Shaw, Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges. Together, these life-long friends call themselves The Triple Threat—a nickname derived from their favorite dessert as well as their uncanny ability to crack cases from their three unique positions of power.
Together, they must find the one face of betrayal amidst a crowd of growing suspects—including a US Senator—before they become the next victims.
Lis Wiehl's expertise in law, politics, and criminal investigation merges with April Henry's narrative genius to create a gripping mystery filled with rich characters, real danger, and a shocking yet satisfying final twist.

When this author’s book, “Heart of Ice” was donated to my Little Free Library Shed a while back, I did what any other local library patron would do. I hoped that the first book in the series would be available to check out that I could read first. And, as it so happens it was.
Because I had never heard of this author, or this series, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about reading it, so I did not put it on my ‘currently reading’ list initially for Goodreads. Thus, my review is the first time you may be reading about my connection to this book.
As background, this book is the first in the Triple Threat series. It was first published in 2008. *Heart of Ice, the one that was donated to my LFL, is the third book in the series, and was published in 2010. Apparently, there are four in the series. The last book being published in 2012.
What I have also come to learn is that this is a team writing effort. Lis Wiehl is a Harvard law graduate and former federal prosecutor. She has worked at NBC News, National Public Radio’s (NPR) All Things Considered, as well as Fox News Channel as a legal analyst and reporter. She has also served as a commentator for CNN and has appeared on CBS and NPR and other news outlets.
April Henry, her co-writer, is an American New York Times bestselling author known more for her mysteries and thrillers. Of which I have yet to read.
It is called the Triple Threat series because it features 3 female characters who consider themselves a triple threat because of their positions as Reporter, Cassidy Shaw, Federal Prosecutor, Allison Pierce and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges.
In this first in the series, we have the opportunity to get background on each of the women, as we are introduced to their strengths, relationships, how they met, their vulnerabilities, and how they will bring their individual talents together on this particular case. The women, although well-described appeared a bit cliché.
In this debut story a 17-year-old Senate intern goes missing, and it is presumed that the Senator may be responsible, especially after she is found dead. This sends all 3 women on the case, following leads.
Unfortunately, this story was too similar to a real “ripped from the headlines” case that took center stage years ago. (Think: Chandra Levy a former senate intern who was killed in 2001, which was tied to her romantic connection with Gary Condit, a married U.S. Representative.)
Along with some side stories, there will be several twists and unanticipated turns that will bring the various stories to a neat conclusion.
3.5 stars
*I decided not to continue with the series, because I was unable to find book 2, and less than interested in the triple threat team’s future.

Mysteries are easily one of the most popular types of entertainment. From books by everyone from Agatha Christie to James Patterson, television shows ranging from Scooby-Doo to Monk to Bones, and games such as the old Parker Brothers whodunit Clue, not to mention the countless movies that have used at least one of the aforementioned media as inspiration, it's a genre that continues to live long and prosper. Lis Wiehl's Face of Betrayal is a Christian mystery that mixes politics, religion, and drama into a wonderful story that I nearly read in one sitting. When I saw that Face of Betrayal had the endorsement of CNN's Nancy Grace, Fox News' Sean Hannity, and even ESPN sportscaster Hannah Storm, I honestly wondered how the three of them, especially the former two, could honestly agree on anything; the further praise from nationally known television personalities on the first page only added to my skepticism. However, actually reading the book has taken away all doubt; this is definitely worth reading. I will caution that this definitely isn't for children; some sexual situations and graphically violent details (all handled tastefully, I might add) definitely make Face of Betrayal inappropriate at least for those under fourteen. Still, I'm pretty sure that the majority of those who read my book reviews are adults; for them, I say: Go find this book and read it, now!

Okay, so i had no idea who Lis Wiehl was before reading this book and i’ve still never knowingly seen her in action, but clearly she’s more than qualified to write this book, having served as a federal prosecuter and currently as a correspondant for Fox News… and i say that because two of the three main characters in this well-told novel wear those shoes… the third, a special agent at the FBI, is drawn from the pages of Wiehl’s father’s career in the FBI…
The premise of the story has a “ripped from the headlines” feel and follows the search and investigation of a missing Senate page… i guess what i didn’t realize going into the book was that it was intended for a female audience and, fortunately, there were only a few brief parts where that was really obvious… call it Law and Order meets Murder She Wrote in print and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the book…
It will keep you guessing, it will keep you connected, it will certainly hold your attention and it will go by quickly… i do recommend the book and expect that you’ll enjoy it as well…

Now this is what I look for in Christian suspense. Gritty topics, bad things that actually happen (not bad things that are about to happen but don’t just in the nick of time 🙄), real crime solving procedure and red-tape.
——
A 17 year old girl with political passions goes missing. Her online presence is found and ends up aiding 3 friends (a lawyer, an FBI agent and a reporter) in solving the mystery.
——
The ‘MySpace’ and introduction of HD television really dates the story telling and the MySpace entries read like a personal diary, which was unrealistic, but then there is brief discussion about embryo adoption which is still (2024) a fairly revolutionary and unheard-of process.
Language: 5 h
Pet peeve: the audiobook narrator’s attempt at crying in the character voices sounds really fake and took me out of the story

US Senate Page Katie Converse takes her dog Jalapeno to a meeting place in Portland with an unknown person. Now she's missing.
FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges catches pedophiles online. She become involved when the 17 year old Katie goes missing. TV crime reporter Cassidy Shaw covers this as the biggest story of her career. Federal prosecutor Allison Pierce will prosecute the kidnapper once he's found. She's dealing with threatening notes and phone calls. These 3 friends call themselves the triple threat in fighting crime. Cassidy covers it, Nicole fights it, and Allison prosecutes it.
Several of the chapters are a blog that Katie has written about her life as a page. Allison relies on her faith to help her through her personal and work life. Each of the 3 women has an interesting minor story to fill out the kidnapping.
This book was originally published in 2008 and I wonder if the author based the plot on the Chandra Levy story, which occurred about 20 years ago. Definitely made an impression on me as I still remember it well. Chandra was an intern having an affair with a congressman when she went missing and her body wasn't found until months later. Because the plot reminded me so much of Chandra's story, I found this one very interesting.

Fast paced and well written. The story has short, punchy chapters that keep you moving along and make the book hard to put down. Three friends: a TV newscaster, prosecuting attorney and an FBI agent work together to solve a murder in Portland, Oregon. A thoughtful and well plotted who-done-it.
PS you'll never figure out who the killer is!

As they say in advertisements for “LA Law,” this story was “ripped from the headlines.” FACE OF BETRAYAL by Lis Wiehl (one of the Fox News commentators) and April Henry sounds like the Chandra Levy case.
In this book a Senate page, last seen as she was setting out to walk her sister's dog, is now missing. The case is receiving national attention and, maybe because of all the 24-hour cable news coverage, it has even gone worldwide. People speculate on the relationship the page had with the senator who sponsored her, their affair is uncovered, and the senator is then accused of attempting to hide the facts by murdering her.
Sound familiar? It should unless you were living in a tunnel when Chandra Levy dominated the news.
I was reminded so much of the Chandra Levy case, I found the story in FACE OF BETRAYAL tiresome. News coverage of Chandra's case, although not unjustified, became so repetitious I wasn’t interested in hearing it all over again.
To be honest, the two cases aren’t identical. In FACE OF BETRAYAL the 17-year-old page was a little curly haired blond, and the story ends differently.
Most of all, the cases differ because of the “Triple Threat” in this novel: Cassidy, Nicole, and Allison. Cassidy is a local TV news reporter, Nicole is an FBI agent, and Allison is a federal prosecutor. Together, they work to find the missing page. But I didn't exactly find them threatening.
I read this book out of curiosity because I love Fox News and I love Lis Wiehl on Fox News. But I have to admit my suspicion about that station: they seem to have a publish-or-perish rule; it looks like all Fox News regulars write books.
At least this book was fiction. The nonfiction books written by others, such as Bill O’Reilly and Dick Morris, on Fox News are like reading transcripts of the shows I already watched.
I give this book only three stars because of its predictability. The best mysteries/thrillers build anticipation throughout and surprise the reader. I don't think I should be able to guess the end when I'm only halfway through the book. Nothing surprised me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an original premise, but an OK read..., May 16, 2009
This review is from: Face of Betrayal (Triple Threat Series #1) (Hardcover)
This is apparently the first in a new series called the "Triple Threat" novels. The premise is very similar to James Patterson's 1st to Die (The Women's Murder Club)in that it introduces three women who become close friends and bond while solving murder cases and calming other assorted side stories of mayhem. The women include the television reporter, Cassidy, the FBI agent and single mother, Nicole, and the requisite lawyer, Allison. The twist with this one is that one of the women, the pregnant prosecuting attorney Allison, often stops to pray or brings spirituality and religion into her thoughts and activities. I found that a bit disconcerting.
The books are so similar that the women even meet for their "meetings" at local restaurants to discuss progress on the current case. This particular episode involves a missing senate page -- Katie Converse -- who was home on Christmas break when she disappeared while walking her sister's dog. The events play out in predictable fashion, there's not a lot here that is surprising -- I had guessed the culprit fairly early on. A minor annoyance was the constant shift of viewpoint in the narrative, but it did propel the story along.
The similarity to Patterson's series can't be coincidental, and it's clear that although the author probably has a great deal of expertise with law and journalism, the Triple Threat girls are really just a social club. It was hard to take them seriously as they seemed to be stereotypes of their job titles rather than real women. You didn't see much interaction with the normal, everyday people and coworkers in their personal lives either.
All in all, the book was OK. I wouldn't rush out to buy the second one, but if it drops in my lap, I'll read it.

This one caused me a few moments thought. It's another that makes me wish for a 1/2 star system or a 10 star system. I read a couple of other books by Ms. Wiehl and liked them. I like this one to, but I'd like to have given the others the edge. Still this is better than a 3 star read, so I'm left with giving it the same rating as the others.
Oh well.
If you have read any nonfiction by this author you'll see some of the concerns/thoughts she has expressed elsewhere used in fiction form here. If you haven't...don't worry about it as it doesn't effect the book negatively. The book is one that I suppose splits the difference between the genres of thriller and mystery. Our "protagonists" are primarily 3 friends who interact with their lives serving as the backdrop for the story of a missing young woman...or possibly vice versa. It holds the interest and doesn't fall back on tricks like springing last minute clues or revelations.
I spotted the "villain" pretty early on, but that's not a bad thing here as you don't get confirmation till the end of the book and I spotted it because the character stayed true to the way written.
I will from here quite likely pick up more books by Ms. Wiehl...and I'm not really a mystery fan.
Recommended, enjoy.

While I found the book to be fairly successful in building the suspense and drama of the plot, keeping you guessing until the very end, I was disappointed by several elements of the story. I found it difficult to get connected with the characters in the story, since it felt like there were three main characters that I was trying to follow all at once. Secondly, the theme of the story seemed to be about the many forms of sexual harassment, abuse, rape, pornography, etc. which I agree are important issues to address, yet which felt too sensationalized to be tasteful. I didn’t find the story to be inspiring or encouraging to my faith, as this was a weak element of the novel, and can’t say that I would recommend this book to anybody.
June 19, 2019
Way too "ripped from the headlines" because a nearly identical story happened in real life. Senate intern killed, senator suspected. Overall ok, but too soon for this story.
August 25, 2011
I had never heard of Liz Wiehl, nor anything about this book when I came across it at our local library. The flap sounded interesting so I added it to my pile. I usually read a chapter in each book to see which one I want to read and this one rose to the top of the pile. All in all it was a pretty good read. I have seen alot of mixed reviews on this book and thought I would add my own 2 cents...I have also seen alot of comparisons to James Patterson, but since I am not an avid fan of his (outside of Sail and Along Came A Spider), and have not read those books to give any input into that topic.
The story grabbed me right off with the disappearance of a young 17 y/o girl. At the head of the investigation is a team of Women, an FBI agent, A reporter and a Federal prosecuter. They compliment each other very well, as they pool their resources to bring down the kidnapper/murderer? The media bombardment, the ongoing investigation and Grand Jury sequences are all very believable allowing the reader to realize that this could very well happen. The case seems cut and dried for most of the book, and in spite of that it was still able to hold my attention and make me want to see what happens next. Then surprise the twist ending caught me off guard, and added to the overall enjoyment of the book.
If I had to make a major criticism it would be that there was way to much stuff going on, that deviated from the plot. A kidnapping murder investigation, a single mother, an abusive boyfriend, a pregnancy, a battered womens shelter, senate investigations, TV network power plays...Not so much as to detract from the book...I just would rather have les going on around the central plot. The 2nd would be character development...This may be premature as this looks to be an ongoing series. I really felt that Allison Pierce was a real person and was able to connect and empathize with her. I did not really see Nicole or Cassidy develop enough on the pages for me to get a feel for who they really are. Not major complaints but 2 things I would like to see improved upon in the remainder of the series.
Overall I was not wowwed, but was certainly entertained. I would reccomend this book, and have plans to read the 2nd installment. Very nice for a debut Novel!

Face of Betrayal launches a new murder-mystery series.
There is nothing like a good mystery.
Most of the time when I read a murder/mystery, I have it figured out ahead of time and just continue reading to find out it I was right.
In Face Of Betrayal. I guessed who it was fairly early in the novel, but I wasn't sure if I was right. The author did an excellent job of keeping me guessing.
This is the first in The Triple Threat club. Three women who reunited at a high school reunion & discovered that they all have something in common. Their work revolves around the crime industry. Nicole is an FBI agent specializing in cyber crimes. Allison is a prosecuting attorney. And Cassidy is a news reporter for a Portland TV station. The three women meet & discuss their lives over dinner & dessert. Which is where the Triple Threat Club got their name, from their favorite dessert.
Their current focus is on Katie Converse. A seventeen year old page at the White House who is home for the Christmas break. Katie took her sister's dog for a walk and never returned. The three women dig for the answer. Katie's blog reveals some inappropriate connections to a very powerful man.
Each chapter is told by the three women. Allison, Cassidy, & Nic. Each of the three women are at different places in their lives & their careers. And each woman looks at the crime from different angles.
Face of Betrayal is a well written suspense thriller. The author has done her research and it shows in the little details. The book is a fast paced read that leaves you wanting more. The next book in the series will be out next year.

Their current focus is on Katie Converse. A seventeen year old page at the White House who is home for the Christmas break. Katie took her sister's dog for a walk and never returned. The three women dig for the answer. Katie's blog reveals some inappropriate connections to a very powerful man.
Each chapter is told by the three women. Allison, Cassidy, & Nic. Each of the three women are at different places in their lives & their careers. And each woman looks at the crime from different angles.
Face of Betrayal is a well written suspense thriller. The author has done her research and it shows in the little details. The book is a fast paced read that leaves you wanting more. The next book in the series will be out next year.

This well-written book is a detective novel. It reads a bit like a true crime novel except, of course, the story is fictional. The depth of "behind the scenes" detail given for the three main character's jobs and for the city they lived in made the story feel very realistic, like it could really have happened. The level of detail, however, was never too heavy for me nor did it slow the fast pacing.
I wouldn't really call this book a suspense novel. There are moments of suspense, but the book didn't really get tense and stay tense until the last third of the story.
Also, the novel is certainly a mystery, but not really of the "who done it" guessing game type. The reader gets the clues as quickly as the heroines, and the heroines act on the clues just as fast as they get them. Which is nice, since I like smart heroines who are good at their job and work well together.
All three of the main characters are likable and interesting. They struggle with personal problems even as they work to find the missing girl and uncover the bad guy. For those interested, one heroine is a Christian who lives out her faith, one heroine is an atheist because she feels God didn't help her in her time of need so he must not exist, and the last heroine flits from one religion to the next. Unless the reader is strongly anti-Christian, I think both Christians and non-Christians would really enjoy this book.
There is sex (including between an unmarried couple), but it's implied and not explicit. There is a very minor amount of cussing/derogatory language.

I like the premise of women in positions of power, each one helping the other out, a triple threat; however, this book was predictable. It's within its predictability that I decided upon a two star rating.
"Face of Betrayal" is a fast-paced, quick read with short chapters that will keep you turning it's pages. However, the characters for me; especially, the main ones (who are meant for you to want to learn more about and thereby pick up the next book in this series) fall flat.
The co-authors meant well. They kicked over many disturbing rocks to uncover the everyday crimes that are constantly taking place around us. (Things, for the most part, I've trained myself not to ponder; otherwise, I'd be depressed, the world would be nothing but chaos, and I might easily find myself paralyzed by inaction due to overwhelm).
Had the book's inside cover copy not told me the book would end with "a shocking yet satisfying final twist"; perhaps, I would have had to "keep guessing" as to who the real murderer was until the end. However, as it was, I found my way through the layers easily which made this book far less suspenseful than it was most likely intended to be.
Could you get through this book? Yes! Would it be painful? No.
It's two stars. Not for poor writing but due to lack of originality, main characters that I'm left feeling lackluster about, and its predictability which is the opposite of what a suspense novel should be.
There are plenty of twists and turns but lack of depth make this book an easy one for me to donate.

Story line taken from the newspaper…Senate page goes out to walk the dog and disappears. Well-written and a page turner for the most part. I would classify this as a mystery/thriller and except for the descriptiveness, could probably be classified as Christian fiction. There were mentions of religion and Christianity and a few Bible quotations, but was not “in your face.” In fact, one of the main characters was an atheist. This is the first in a series and will definitely read the next one. Will be interested to see what the three friends who call themselves “the triple threat” solve and how and if they change as the series continues. Gave it a 4 because things wrapped up rather quickly and a little too neatly at the end.

Two and a half stars. I've been wanting to read one of Lis Wiehl's books since this first one was published. She is an intelligent as well as beautiful (don't hold that against her!) woman, and Ive enjoyed her contributions on Fox New Channel. However, this book is just too simplistic, i guess I'd say. The plot is okay, but Wield explains every legal procedure ad nausium. If you are a person who has never seen or read a criminal show or book, that might be helpful, but IMHO it is unnecessary for most readers. The character development is poor--I didn't really care about several, and didn't like some others. Maybe I'll read another of Wield's books, maybe not.

I thought the story was rather boring. Certainly expected some twists. The main characters aren't lively-more like cardboard. The prose of April Henry is mediocre at best. But my main complaint is that there is virtually no humor in this book. The main characters are humorless. I don't see any reason why her second book featuring these characters should be expected to be any better. She should stick to non-fiction.

I enjoyed the story line as well as the three members of the triple threat, Allison, a Federal prosecutor, Cassidy Shaw, a television reporter, and Nicole Hedges, a FBI Special Agent. Each character was well formed and well involved in the disappearance of a 17 year old Senate page who disappears. The story handles law, politics and a criminal investigation as well as the distortions and conclusions the media can put on an investigation, all in the name of news.

The book starts with a seventeen year old girl named Katie Converse who goes missing while walking her dog. Three very different women are put together to solve the case. after a while they find out that Katie has some connections to a very powerful man, when he deny's every thing the women say it becomes obvious that he was responsible.
I picked up this book because I like this genre
I finished this book even though I didn't need to. This book was very predictable.

I couldn't relate to or even find myself caring about the three main female characters. Just boring and uninteresting throughout the whole thing.

Tried again-- for the third time, I think-- to read this... still can't get into it so I'm calling it quits.

Senate page Katie, a bright young girl has turned up missing. This will pull you in circles, twists and turns trying to find out what has happened. As soon as you think there is an ending, think again. I loved this, was reading after recovery from surgery so a little on the slow side on my end. The next one will go faster.
First in the triple threat series. I can't wait to read the other two.

I read this book via ebook from my local library via Libby and my Kindle app.
I am choosing not to rate this book as my reason for DNFing it was swift and an instant "This is not for me."
I lived through that time and I didn't feel like living through the makeup and fashion of the time. It almost felt more like the 90s in description and my teenage years are not a time I wish to revisit.
As such, I did not get much into the story or the characters or the plot. In this instance, rating it would be completely unfair.
DNF'd 19 pages in at 6%.

The best thing I can say about this generic thriller is that it is very women-forward without being a domestic thriller. That's a nice change-up, at least.

Cassidy breaks the story of Katie’s disappearance. She believes there is something up. Her investigative nature kicks in and she starts learning all she can about Katie and her life. Whatever information or leads she can’t get access to; this is where Agent Nicole Hedges comes in to help. While Allison does help some, she is somewhat distracted by the news that she is pregnant. It seems Katie’s disappearance might be connected to a very powerful Senator.
I was so looking forward to giving this book a try. It sounded right up my alley. While it did have suspense, it kind of wavered throughout the story. I didn’t really find the characters to be strong enough to grab and keep my attention all the way through the end. In fact I had to re-read the section when the storyline revealed the killer and their motive behind it. If you are looking for something new to try, then Face of Betrayal may be the book for you.

Face of Betrayal (A Triple Threat Novel) by Lis Wiehl and April Henry had resonance with me because I’ve stayed close to the girl who lived next door to me when I was I child. In fact, I sent her this political thriller for Christmas.The main characters are three women who became close in college and remained friends. Allison Pierce, a federal prosecutor who is getting death threats, is married, expecting a baby, and is a practicing Christian. Nicole Hedges, a FBI special agent investigating child porn, was brought up Christian but has since become agnostic. Cassidy Shaw, a popular TV reporter hops from one religious fad to another and from one bed to another. They have banded together to find Katie Converse, a seventeen year old Senate page who went missing when she returned home to Portland on Christmas break.
The book has many twists and turns, and it soon becomes clear to the three women investigators that Katie wasn’t as innocent as her parents think. According to her own MySpace page, Katie may have been having an affair with the married Senator who was mentoring her. Naturally, the Senator becomes the main suspect and he in turn lies and manipulates to keep his affair with the girl under wraps. The main problem for the investigation is they haven’t got a clue what happened to Katie. It’s not likely a straight A-student with political ambitions would run away. That leaves kidnap or murder. There are no signs of a struggle, no ransom note, and no body.
The three female investigators are all strong, capable women who have risen to prominence in their professions…and who love chocolate. In fact, the series is named after their favorite dessert, Triple Threat Chocolate. These women are flawed, yet likable. Their characters are realistic and well developed. I became involved in their lives and grew to care about them. Allison is joyful at the prospect of motherhood and is terrified of the individual sending her hate mail and stalking her. Although Nicole knows she’s done a lot of good in her job, the sexual predators she pursues on a daily basis have her emotionally wrung out. And, Cassidy is in denial about the abuse she’s taking from her current heart throb.
There are scenes sprinkled throughout containing prayer, hymns, and Bible verses. The three women discuss Christianity vs. agnosticism and New Age philosophy, though religion is not the main focus.
Sadly, the activities of Katie, the two-faced teenage Senate page, rang all to true. I wish I could say I was not aware of similar behavior on the part of teenage girls where I live. A few of the lesser characters use mild profanity, which is in keeping with their personalities.

I finished this. So I suppose that's saying something positive about the book.
First problem: The plot isn't exactly an original premise, just Wiehl's imaginings of the Chandra Levy case. Nothing wrong with the "ripped from the headlines" approach as long as it's done well. I give Wiehl a solid C on that count.
But I don't think it's possible to be any more derivative of a popular series than this book was. The Triple Threat Club is James Patterson's Women's Murder Club minus one. Let's see, we've got the prosecutor (federal instead of local), the investigator (FBI instead of SFPD), and the reporter (broadcast instead of print). I'm surprised Wiehl didn't replace the medical examiner with a forensic investigator. Maybe she's saving that addition for the second book in the series. Our trio, like Patterson's quartet, even hang out and exchange their information about the case in restaurants and bars. Wiehl's story is based in Portland, not San Francisco, but unlike Patterson, she doesn't really make the city an significant part of the story. This could have been set anywhere with just a few place names thrown in to remind you where the characters are.
The rating should probably be a 1.5 star because Wiehl did execute the book pretty well. I did finish it, after all. It's a clear and unforgivable ripoff of Patterson's series. And while I can't imagine an author wasting time and money pursuing a copyright infringement action against her for it, I'm not going to reward her by continuing the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this first mystery book from this author. Ms. Lis developed well defined characters, a believable plot and subplots, and kept me interested enough that I finished this book in two days along with all my other activities!
Not sure at first how much religion would be included in the book, I was pleasantly surprised that the story included very natural references to each characters spirituality without being overbearing - a good addition in making the characters more believable.
Full of information about law, politics, and law enforcement, Face of Betrayal was also a book of information. Having worked for a U.S. Senator for ten years, her knowledge of the Senate and the lives of Senators was accurate. The book kept an even keel on political preferences without sounding like any particular party.
The only suggestion I would have would be including the issue of domestic violence in another book. This is such a huge subject that it seemed to get pushed in among the pages and I think it could have been a plot or subplot of another story giving the subject the space it needs.
I highly recommend this book to any reader looking for a good mystery writing in a fresh way!

Last year, I think it was, I got a review copy of one of this author's books and instantly fell in love with their easy writing style. She reminds me a lot of James Patterson in the way that she can take an intense, thrilling novel and make it such an easy and quick read. Face of Betrayal is no exception. I blasted through this book in about three days, staying up way later than I should have on Sunday night trying to finish it.
In this novel, there are a ton of twists and turns leading you to believe one thing only to disprove it a chapter or two later. You're constantly on your toes and completely engrossed in the story line. One thing that I do enjoy about this author is the way they are able to take one character's faith, bring it to the forefront of her portion of the story (it's told from four points of view) without making it seem preachy or like you're being beaten over the head with it. She Believes and that's what you take away from it, if that makes any sense.
I've put the next in this series on hold at the library and am anxious to continue on with this series. Also, her East Salem Trilogy has its second installment due out later this year.
