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 (outsid

“Face Of Betrayal” Book One in The Triple Threat series written by Lis Wiehl with April Henry has been released in audiobook format by Oasis Audio and this is a winner. There is a reason why children love to hear stories read to them by their parents and they enjoy the reading even more when the parent uses voices to identify the characters; it makes the reading much more enjoyable. And while we may grow taller we never outgrow the love of having stories told to us in voices and Oasis Audio me

Face of Betrayal has been titled as the new Triple Threat Novel and this is in more ways than one. The first Triple Threat is the 3 Amigas in this case , a bit like James Patterson's Womans Murder Club except in this book , there are only 3. Nicole - A FBI Agent specialising in Crimes of Children mainly Girls. Cassidy - who is the local News Reporter and always on the lookout for Crimes to report on and Alison- The Lawyer.

A seventeen-year-old Senate page goes missing over Christmas break, and three friends—who call themselves The Triple Threat—take a personal and professional interest in the case. Federal prosecutor Allison Pierce, reporter Cassidy Shaw, and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges each work the case from their own angle, occasionally working together. The case digs up personal experiences and for each woman, making things almost personal. Can they separate their own emotions from their jobs? And can they

The attorney is pregnant after years of trying and worried about the future. The FBI agent is a single mother untrusting of relationships.

Move beyond the cover of this book and discover a story taken from today’s headlines. Who better to tell this story than author Lis Wiehl. Her father was an FBI agent, she was a prosecuting attorney and news anchor woman on TV.

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.

"Face of Betrayal" is a mystery about a young girl named Katie Converse who takes her dog for a walk and never comes home. The story follows 3 women as they try to find out what happened to Katie: Allison the prosecutor, Nicole the FBI agent, and Cassidy the reporter. These three women are close friends, and work together throughout the entire novel, referring to themselves as the "Triple Threat Club". So what happened to Katie? Was it murder? Suicide? And where is her body?

I received a complimentary copy of Lis Wiehl's new book Face of Betrayal from Thomas Nelson to review. Wiehl's experience as a Fox News correspondent brings a news-like quality to the story. Face of Betrayal follows the disappearance of a 17 year old Senate page while she is home on Christmas break. It is a fast paced read with plenty of twists and turns. I really enjoy this genre and this page turner did not disappoint!

“Face of Betrayal” is just another story but excelled in the way it has been told.It’s a story of how a senate page turned out dead after returning to home during vacations in between her internship.This murder mystery finally got taken upon by the Triple-Threat(as they ‘loved’ to call themselves)-a reporter,a FBI special agent,and a federal prosecutor,and being more mystified by the character of a running Senator who supposedly was having a relationship with the victim.

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 More...

This is a fun series set in Portland, Oregon (the "with" author April Henry is from Portland) and features three women friends who collaborate to solve murders and other nefarious doings. The characters are interesting (a federal prosecutor, TV reporter, and FBI investigator) and the mysteries are well constructed, plus I enjoyed the various Portland and Oregon landmarks that are incorporated into the story. The publisher of this series primarily publishes faith-based fiction but the

This wasn't a bad first start for Lis Wiehl's new series. It's the first book in the Triple Threat series. It's about three women...a prosecutor, FBI agent and reporter and how they help and support each other. I enjoyed the interplay between the main characters. However the minor characters needed a little more depth. I loved how they all complemented each other's strengths and weakenesses throughout the book. I liked the story of how a Congressional page has disappeared and how a US Senator ma

This story appears to be inspired by the Chandra Levy case. The case drags on with little evidence and little progress so to break the monotony the authors introduce many little subplots about the three protagonists' personal lives and insider details about their various jobs to try to keep the book moving along. I am sure any law enforcement job gets very frustrating and tedious when little evidence is available and results are not easily forth coming, so I appreciate the effort at realism, b

This was my first Lis Wiehl book. Another great summer read! I'll definitely be reading more of her. Was looking for a little more of a twist at the end but it didn't take away from the book. It took me a while to figure out which character was which between Allison, Nicole and Cassidy, but once I read for a continuous period of time I got it.

Face of Betrayal had intrigued me but I am always hesitant to attempt a new author, especially in my own genre. But when this was offered as a free download, I leaped at the opportunity. And it was a fantastic opportunity--I read it in less than a day (which is saying a lot since we were on vacation and I have my own writing to attend to). The only reason I didn't give this story a 5-star is because I did not feel connected to the characters, and there were times it really distracted me. However

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 import

Did they work together to solve a crime? Nope.
Did any one of them solve the crime? Sort of, but it was a total accident rather than good sleuthing.

I've realized that murder mystery just isn't my genre, but if it is your genre, I'd recommend it. It was a good mystery. I liked how Wiehl used the combo of the three women's personalities and professions to tell the story, and I liked that Wiehl actually knew what she was talking about when it came to court procedure, etc. I did feel like she brought up a lot of women's issues and then didn't do anything with them, but where this is going to be a series, maybe she'll do more with them in the fu

I found it odd that this book was in the Christian section of the library - don't get me wrong, it was lovely to have a clean (i.e. no profanity or explicit scenes) read, but other than having one character in the story who was overtly Christian, this book wasn't really categorically different from, say, a James Patterson book.
