I couldn't relate to or even find myself caring about the three main female characters. Just boring and uninteresting throughout the whole thing.

Story line taken from the newspaper…Senate page goes out to walk the dog and disappears. Well-written and a page turner for the most part. I would classify this as a mystery/thriller and except for the descriptiveness, could probably be classified as Christian fiction. There were mentions of religion and Christianity and a few Bible quotations, but was not “in your face.” In fact, one of the main characters was an atheist. This is the first in a series and will definitely read the next one. Will be interested to see what the three friends who call themselves “the triple threat” solve and how and if they change as the series continues. Gave it a 4 because things wrapped up rather quickly and a little too neatly at the end.

Meh. There really isn't enough interesting about these ladies.
And I find the religious part annoying. The series is starting to feel uncomfortable to me.

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.

"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?

The first thing I did when I got the book was look at the cover. The front is rather plain, just a scary looking woman's face and the standard text. But I turned it over and saw a picture of Lis and I immediately recognized her. If you've ever watched Fox News for more than five minutes, you will recognize her too. Lis chose a great topic for herself to write about, considering she has personal experience in every aspect of this book. She was a prosecutor, she works on TV, and her father was an FBI agent. Everything in the novel is very believable, and her true life experiences are what made that possible.

This is a classic crime mystery/suspense novel. I did guess the outcome early on in the novel, but there were many twists and turns throughout the book that had me questioning myself and even dismissing my ideas. I felt very connected to all of the characters. Sometimes when an author includes as many "main" characters as Lis did, it's hard to relate to each of them. In my opinion, she did an excellent job of making each of them feel "real".

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes this genre, and here's to reading the next Triple Threat novel - "Hand of Fate" available April 2010. You can catch the first two chapters at the end of "Face of Betrayal".

Not a bad first attempt and an enjoyable story. I think if you read it with the mindset that (1) it is very unsubtly a Christian novel and (2) it is aimed at teens, it is not too bad.

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 religious overtones are very mild. This is a good mystery series for those who don't want a lot of profanity (there is none) and violence (there is some as the act of murder itself is pretty violent, plus they get a little sleazy and gritty at times). I recommend this series for those who like James Patterson's "Women's Club" mysteries but are tiring of the violence. The sequels are "Hand of Fate" and the forthcoming "Heart of Ice" (March 2011).

Why have I not heard of this author before? So glad I saw her books as I was browsing my local library's website for books to download free to my Kindle. I will definitely read the rest of her Triple Threat Club books, and any more I can find from her! This book started out with a bang, 17 year old Katie Converse is walking her dog Jalapeno and disappears from a park near her Portland home. The three friends (who formed their own Triple Threat Club) Allison, Nichole and Cassidy (prosecutor, FBI agent and tv reporter) are all involved in the case and all help search for Katie. The book bogged down just a bit for me in the middle, but ended well. I definitely plan to read more from Lis Wiehl :)
