COTT: Secrets and Lies by Janet Sketchley

Sabbath Sunday: That Brilliant Sun Movie Review: 23 Blast

COTT: Secrets and Lies by Janet Sketchley

A single mother must protect her teenage son—from organized

crime and from himself.

Secrets and Lies, by Janet

Sketchley

About the novel:

Carol Daniels thinks she out-ran her enemies, until a detective arrives at

her door with a warning from her convict brother. Minor incidents take on a

sinister meaning. An anonymous phone call warns her not to hide again.

Now she must cooperate with a drug lord while the police work to trap him.

Carol has always handled crisis alone, but this one might break her.

Late-night deejay Joey Hill offers friendship and moral support. Can she

trust him? One thing’s certain. She can’t risk prayer.

What reviewers are saying:

“Secrets and Lies delivers engaging characters and a sweet romance

in the midst of a single mom’s worst nightmare.”

~ Sandra Orchard, award-winning author of Deadly Devotion and

Blind Trust

“Secrets and Lies takes up where Heaven’s Prey

left off, and is another great thriller by Janet Sketchley. With the

backdrop of music and family, Secrets and Lies could really be

defined as a retelling of the Ultimate Redemption. Sketchley is very adept

at writing about the sometimes intricate and confusing relationships that

make up a family. This one is not to be missed.”

~ Linda Hall, award-winning author of Steal Away (Christian

fiction) and Night Watch (mainstream)

A note from the author:

Secrets and Lies is a book 2 in the Redemption’s Edge series. I

met Carol, the heroine, through writing her brother Harry’s story in

Heaven’s Prey, and I knew her life had not been easy. I also knew

she needed the Lord. Secrets and Lies gives her the chance to find

Him—unless her enemies find her first.

past the buy links, and you’ll find interviews and features, plus a YouTube

playlist of the classic oldies (with a few extras) mentioned by title in

the novel.

This is a Christian novel, but Carol loves her mainstream classic rock.

playlist on YouTube. There are a few other things in there that only

make sense if you’ve read the book.

books shown, I would be most likely to add this one to my pile of books to

read.”

“In “Secrets & Lies”, Janet Sketchley has written another

“can’t put me-down book”. It equals “Heaven’s Prey” and may even surpass

it. Can’t wait for the third “Redemption’s Edge” novel to be published.

Keep up the good work, Janet!”
