5.0 out of 5 stars Be prepared to stay up late reading this one!, July 9, 2002

By 

Carolyn M. Wood (Buda, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Betrayed (Paperback)

Betrayed is first rate suspense fiction, with just enough romance to appeal to the ladies, but not enough to discourage the men-folk!

Other reviews recapped the story, and the back cover copy is a great teaser. Time flies when reading the gripping, fast-paced story...you'll have to be careful you don't stay up too late trying to find out what happens next.

Plot twists and turns, believable dialogue and action sequences, visual humor, real characters, and a story of faith in action that's not preachy. What more can you want?!

Get one for your library, and make a gift of one to that friend or relative who loves to read as much as you do.

I can't wait for their next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth The Read, September 11, 2001

This review is from: Betrayed (Paperback)

I have a confession. I'm don't enjoy much Christian fiction that has been out over the years. As a Christian author I hate to admit that, but it's true. That said, I loved Betrayed by Rosey Dow and Andrew Snaden.

Betrayed is a different breed of Christian fiction. This fast paced novel kept my attention and rang with authenticity. The research Dow and Snaden did shows in their obvious knowledge of the Seattle area and computer terminology.

Strong character development and well written dialogue enhance vivid descriptions and a true-to-life story line that could easily happen.

Definitely worth reading. Congratulations to fiction's newest team and I am positive we will be hearing more from them.

I'm always skeptical when I see a team-written novel.

Not so with this book by Rosey Dow and newcomer Andrew Snaden. The chapers blend so seamlessly I could not tell who had written what.

The story revolves around Laura McIvor, who lives under an assumed name in Seattle because her father was found guilty of treason for selling secrets to the top world powers.

Dow and Snaden have the perfect cast of characters for their novel and describe them well. I especially liked the humor element throughout the book - hard to do in a fast-paced, high-action suspense novel. The heroine and hero have just the right amount of tug-and-pull and the plot is believable and satisfying straight through to the end.

I look forward to this writing team's next book.
