More About the Author

Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I'm a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I'm an adventurer -- having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that's why my characters can't sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another -- they're too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories, that I hope inspire and entertain!

This review is from: In Sheep's Clothing (Mission: Russia #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #25) (Paperback)

A missionary in Russia, Gracie Benson is shocked to find her co-workers murdered in their home. Frightened, Gracie makes a run to escape the country, but is kept from leaving by an FSB agent, Vicktor Shubnikov. With The Wolf, a dangerous killer, on the loose and after her, Victor has promised to guard and keep Gracie safe. Despite her own mistrust of him, Gracie also realizes that she will be needed his protection. Together the two work to unravel the mystery surrounding the deaths of her fellow missionaries and stop the killer that pursues her.

In Sheep's Clothing is a fast paced thriller that keeps you involved the whole way through. Author of some of my favorite romantic suspense novels, Susan May Warren proves with each new book that she is the name to watch in this genre.

You will love this book! Susan May Warren writes a great suspense story, zipping you along with powerful word choices and electric, tension-filled dialogue. When her heroine, American missionary Gracie Benson, meets Vicktor Shubnikov, a kind-hearted, down-on-his-luck KGB agent, the story becomes a snowball barreling downhill, grabbing your heart and making you feel like you are in Siberia right along with them, running for your life from a serial killer. It's also a wonderful love story. It's so good you will want to read it again, more slowly the second time!

This review is from: In Sheep's Clothing (Mission: Russia #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #25) (Paperback)

The previous reviewer did a good job telling about the book. I will tell you to be prepared with some time to read as this is one you will not want to put down! From start to finish the reader is involved in Gracie's story. Vicktor is wonderful hero and you want to get to know his friends more too. Read this book and I promise...you won't be disappointed!
