The Truth Teller

Lara is a young woman who just lost her husband to cancer. She desperately wants to have HIS baby. So, after a few months have passed, she approaches her doctors to use frozen sperm and fertilize her egg so she can have this dream child. Unknown to her, a billionaire who wants to live forever, has bought his way into the lives of those around her, and she ends up deceived, used and humiliated. On the run, Lara never forgets the neighbor man who delivered her baby and she returns to him for help. A high profile trial is probably the peak of this book. Angela Hunt certainly knows how to write a mystery book!!!

This is a fun read for everyone. The fight of the "regular man" against the rich-and-above-the-law is similar to the style of John Grishm. The science fiction resembles a mix of Jurassic Park and Charmed. Theologians are given many deep levels and thoughtful questions to ponder. Christians will appreciate the positive representation of the Bible-believing faith.

I've read several of Angela Elwell Hunt's books before and always enjoyed them, but I picked this one up the other day and couldn't put it down! All of the sudden I looked up and realized it was 3 am and it took everything in me to put off finishing it until the next night. From the first chapter this book draws you in and takes off at a pace that never allows you to get bored. This book has the suspense and pacing of secular books like The Da Vinci Code, but this one is grounded in God's love and truth. I guarantee you willnot be disappointed if you give this book a try.

Angela's insight is keen. She can grasp human character and put them in situations of the "what if". I love to see how her characters react and find myself wondering at what my own reactions would be. She makes me ponder and I love it. She makes me search myself and I grow. She makes me grade myself and sometimes I cringe. I always learn something. A world where lies can be detected? Scary. A world where greed rules? Here. Put them together with a talented author and you have a great book to share with friends. I have all Angela's books I can find andI don't regret buying one.

I began THE TRUTH TELLER at nine o'clock at night, figuring I'd spend an enjoyable hour reading, then call it a night. Two pages into this story, that plan went out the window. At midnight, my husband came downstairs rubbing his eyes. "Are you coming to bed?" I shook my head, eyes glued to THE TRUTH TELLER. "Not anytime soon, honey!" Finally at two in the morning I finished the book, having moved not one muscle in five hours (except for gripping the pages during several tense moments!). As a big fan of Angela Hunt's writing, I can assure you, this is her best novel yet. Stunningly crafted, THE TRUTH TELLER presents characters worth caring about and a story I couldn't put down...literally! I loved it.
