Garr Reed, whom mystery fans first met in Whom Shall I Fear?, returns in another fast-paced, white-knuckles adventure—this time into the secret past of the person closest to him. Would Garr's gentle, devoutly Christian wife actually try to kill someone? That's the charge leveled against Mary Jo when a peaceful sit-in at a local abortion clinic leads to her arrest for the attempted murder of the abortion doctor. Everything Garr knows about his wife tells him she's not capable of taking a life. But evidence to the contrary is growing, and it looks alarmingly convincing. If things are already bad enough, they're about to get much worse. Mary Jo, who is out on bond, disappears, leaving a note that sounds disturbingly like a confession. Where is she? Could she really be guilty? What doesn't Garr know about this woman he thought he knew so well? His search for answers and for his beloved wife takes Garr to New Orleans, and into a sinister world whose extremes he could scarce have believed. It's a world of ultra-conservative Christian militants, of backwater voodoo practitioners and of dark secrets from Mary Jo's past that have haunted their marriage, and that now, brought into the open, are about to sweep them into a nightmare from which they may never emerge. Book two in the Garr Reed Mystery series, Every Hidden Thing combines a thoughtful look at the church's response to the abortion industry with taut, fast-paced reading. Here are intrigue, action, and surprises enough to satisfy the most discriminating mystery fans.
