I won a copy of Lie Still by Julia Heaberlin from Random House in their mystery giveaway.   Thank you for sending the copy.     Emily and Mike move to the town of Clairmont to start over and make a career change. Synopsis: Caroline Warwick has invited Emily to be part of a special club that includes women who are just dying to get in.   She does not share their excitement about being involved in this club although her husband Mike encourages her to be part.   This club involves secrets that Emily does not want to share.   One secret that is she was raped in college and her rapist murdered.      One day Caroline goes missing and Mike rethinks his encouragement of her being involved in town life.   Especially after Emily’s stalker follows them to Clairmont and continues to leave her presents.   What really happened to Caroline?   Why is Emily being stalked? My Thoughts: Lie Still is a very entertaining novel!   It is very engrossing!   I had a hard time with som

Thank you to Netgalley and Tyndale House for my review copy.   Most of you are familiar with conflict diamonds, but are you also familiar with conflict minerals?   The story of Congo Dawn centers around one of those conflict minerals. Synopsis: Robin has taken one last job with Ares Solution a company that is known for its employment of exmilitary.   Robin’s job is specifically as a translator since she is fluent with both French and Swahili.   The purpose of this job is to provide enough money for her niece to have a surgery she really needs.      Her team is searching for a leader of an insurgent party named Jini.   They are trying to help a mine be able to bring out more molybdenum. One thing she did not count on is running into Doctor Michael Stewart.   Robin has many questions for him from their past.   How will their past affect the future?   What is really going on in Ituri province? My Thoughts: One verse reoccurs often throughout the novel Isaiah 5:2
