I never read a political mystery before, but this was a very good way to get it started.  From the very beginning “The Betrayed” had me on the edge of my couch. It is well written, and with the turn of each and every page, I was wondering who did it,  why it happened, and every time I thought I had even the slightest idea of figuring it out,  I was hit with another angle, and twist.

Elizabeth Creay was a single mother, working as a journalist trying to support her daughter and herself., but when she discovers something bigger than anything she had encountered before, she never imagined how big the cost would be. The secret she had uncovered would ultimately cost Elizabeth her life and turn her world and everyone she knew world upside down. It not only takes the joined forces of Detective Jack Cassin and Detective Sergeant Train, but an unlikely form of help, Sydney Chapin, Elizabeth long absent sister. Where Elizabeth first begins, these three would come to an unbelievable conclusion.

First I thought it was the junkie, then maybe not, maybe the mom, surely not, but it could be. What about the shady senator, than again what is his motive? The ex-husband always looks very good for the crime, he has everything to gain. Or does he?  You have to read this never ending thriller. This book will make you question everyone and their motives. Someone always has something to hide. Can you figure out who has the most to lose, and who fooled everyone by performing the ultimate form of betrayal?

Do you know, or do you just think you do????
