Breach of Trust

In the first book of a "faith-based" series, ex-CIA agent Paige Rogers wonders if her old job was consistent with a Christian life. When she's called back to duty because her former team leader, Keary, is running for governor, she's challenged to examine her past life once again. Renée Raudman is earnest in creating the image of a small-town librarian with a secret. She accentuates the contrast between the sincere and humble Paige and the overbearing politician. In the reserved whispers of furtive cell-phone conversations, Raudman creates the atmosphere of a tormented woman trying hard to stand up for her values. She imbues Keary with the hubris of a man who thinks he can act with impunity. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
