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.

Face of Betrayal is the first in a series entitled, Triple Threat. The setting is modern day Portland, Oregon. The genre is mystery/suspense. The triple threat referred to previously is a friendship among three women…a reporter, a prosecuting attorney, and an FBI agent. All three are women whose goal is to see justice done.

The setting is modern day Portland, Oregon. The genre is mystery/suspense. The triple threat referred to previously is a friendship among three women…a reporter, a prosecuting attorney, and an FBI agent. All three are women whose goal is to see justice done.
Warning: There is some sexual non-explicit scenes in this book.
Allison is a married attorney and a Christian who has just discovered she is pregnant with her first child. She asks to be assigned to the Katie Converse case. Katie is a 17-year-old girl who is home on Christmas break from Washington DC where is a page for a senator from Oregon. This senator has taken a special interest in Katie and has agreed to mentor her. Katie if very interested in politics and wants to make this her career. However, something has happened to Katie. She leaves one afternoon to walk her sister’s dog and never returns. Did someone kidnap her? Why is there no ransom request? Has she run away? Her blog indicates she was depressed, so did she perhaps kill herself? Allison searches for legal means to question the senator to find out what he knows. Did he kill Katie?
Cassidy is a single reporter who is very concerned with her image. She is constantly on the lookout for a “big” story that could be the break she has been looking for in her career to catapult her in the ratings and thus a bigger market. Can the Katie Converse story do this for her? She will do just about anything to get her story. Cassidy flits from one fad to the next as far as her “faith”. She tries the “in” thing, and when it is “out”, she moves on to something else. She has also become involved in a personal relationship with an abusive man. Can she see that his behavior toward her is abusive?
Nicole is a single mom of one daughter and an FBI agent. As an African American female she has faced prejudice in the past, but is her new team leader different? She has been assigned as the liaison between Katie’s parents and law enforcement. She actively works the case, looking for clues to try to solve the case. Nicole feels she has been let down by God in the past when she needed Him most, and now she thinks she can handle everything on her own. She can readily identify with Katie’s parents and their anxiety over their daughter. Can Nicole discover what happened to Katie? Will the guilty party be brought to justice?
The short chapters make the story fly by. There is plenty of action and interaction between the characters with a few surprises included. I very much enjoyed the story. However, there was reference to a sexual device, another where losing one’s virginity was discussed, and finally a scene of two unmarried, naked adults waking up in bed together. My rating is low due to this content. I feel the author could have told her story without this content included. They didn’t add anything to the overall plot. As this is the first book in the series, perhaps future books leave this type of thing out. I plan to read the next book in this series and will write a review of it, so check back for an update.
My rating is 2.5 stars due to the sexual content.

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 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!(less)

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 meets that need.

Katie takes the dog for a walk in her hometown of Portland meets someone and is never heard from again. She is a 17 year old who was working as a Senate Page and now the manhunt is on. Cassidy Shaw is the reporter who is tracking the case for the news, Allison Pierce is the Federal Prosecutor and Nicole Hedges is the FBI Special Agent assigned to the case. Together these three women are the Triple Threat so named after a desert that they enjoy. It takes the three of them, working together, to find out what happened, how it happened and who are the persons involved.

It is an injustice to say that Pam Turlow is the reader of this book. Pam Turlow really is the actress who brings the characters to full life. There are many characters and Ms. Turlow uses her voice to give unique voice to them all. I would think that, for a woman, male voices would give her a problem; that is not the case. Each of the three women have their own voice as well, especially Nicole with her Southern accent and it is a marvel that Ms. Turlow was not only able to remember each voice but switch so effortlessly between them.

This is an exciting book, extremely well paced and suspenseful. I know when you hear this audiobook you will be like me eager to hear the next offering in the series. I think because of the incredible vocal acting ability of Pam Turlow that it makes the story even more exciting. This is the first book in the series but be of good cheer, there is another in the series and, of course, read by the remarkable Pam Turlow.

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.

The story is set up very much like the TV show Law and Order, I loved that. At the top of each chapter, the location and date are given to set up the scene before you start reading. What I enjoyed most about this story is the Triple Threat club whose members include Nic, is a single black mom who works for the FBI, Cassidy, who is a news reporter striving to achieve an anchor position at her station, and last but not least is Allison, the prosecuting attorney who is professing to be a Christian.

Here’s what Cassidy has to say about religion, “I don’t think there’s only one answer, like Allison. And I don’t think there are no answers, like you do, Nic. You won’t admit that there are things we can’t see to touch, but that still exist. You don’t leave any room for magic or serendipity.”

Here’s Nicole’s spin on life, “I believe if you think the universe is looking out for you or that God is watching over you or whatever, then life’s going to come around and bite you in the butt…”

It’s fascinating to see this team work and socialize together at their Triple Threat club meetings. What intrigued me about this book was the behind the scenes look at TV news from the other side of the camera. For example:

“The media can be on your side,” Nic said, “but you have to be careful. Because finding Katie isn’t their priority.”

“Ratings… are their top priority,” Valerie said flatly.

Nic nodded, …”Right. So, if they can turn your life upside down and shake out some scandal, they’ll do it. Anything for a new angle. Thanks to the Internet and CNN, we live in a twenty-four-hour news cycle. The only problem is that there aren’t twenty-four-hours’ worth of news. So, if there isn’t anything new, they have to make something up.”

Lis takes you through the process of how the FBI starts an investigation and how they get their clues in a case. Also how they determine which leads are legit and which are bogus. I will tell you that the forensic side of this story was not too detailed but it did creep me out a little. Although I found the forensic conclusions about the victim’s death fascinating.

The Triple Threat club is a female crime fighting team, one I’ll want to read more of. I liked the way Lis Wiehl stays on the edge of not being too graphic with this true to life story. The author shows just enough of what each of these women go through and see day-in and day-out, to grip your emotions and then move on. I loved the insight this book gave me and how the author describes real women I’d like to meet. You will too, I’m excited about the next installment of this series called Hand of Fate.(less)

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.

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.

Katie Converse works as a Senate Page for Capital Hill. While out walking her dog, she disappears. Fearing the worst, her parents offer up a reward.

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.
