The
secrets of those closet to us can be the most dangerous of all.
Months after her husband, Sean, is killed by a hit-and-run driver, physicist Georgie Brennan discovers he lied to her about where he had been going that day. A cryptic notebook, a missing computer, and strange noises under her house soon have her questioning everything she thought she knew.
With her job hanging by a thread, her son struggling to cope with his father’s death, and her four-star general father up for confirmation as the next Secretary of Defense, Georgie quickly finds herself tangled in a political intrigue that has no clear agenda and dozens of likely villains. Only one thing is clear: someone wants her dead too.
The more she digs for the truth, the fewer people she can trust.
Not her friends.
Not her parents.
Maybe not even herself.

My Thoughts:
Suspense is a wonderful genre to read in. I haven't read any
of Siri Mitchell's historical fiction, but she started to write a suspense
novel, and the synopsis sounded awesome, so I couldn't wait to read it. The
story starts out pretty just like a suspense novel with a high tension moment
setting the rest of the action for the story. Then about 42 percent into the
novel, the plot turned toward a little different direction. I did have a hard
time putting the novel down. I wanted to see what would happen to Glorie as she
tried to figure out with her father when he was in Iraq and with Sean. The
ending did take a turn I didn't see coming, so I was surprised that Mitchell
went that way. I didn't see it coming that way. The writing was good. I could
see the characters and the setting as they played across my imagination. Overall,
State of Lies by Siri Mitchell is a captivating
written suspense with plenty of action and an unique storyline. It was a
wonderful story to pass a couple of hours.
I received a complimentary copy of State of Lies by Siri Mitchell from Thomas Nelson Publishing, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
Purchase State of Lies
