Book Review of Face Of Betrayal

Lis Wiehl's and April Henry's Face of Betrayal is about three friends coming together to solve the mystery of a girl who first went missing and then was eventually found murdered.

The plot centers around a girl who worked as a page in the US senate and gives brief insight on the relationship between a senator and the girl and what actually happened between the two of them. It also dwells on the girl's family and how she cope with the situation of having a step mother. Another interesting part in the story is the exploration of the characters of the three friends who investigate the murder mystery.

This book might not might be the best murder mystery I have read but still holds my attention with its different approach of tackling the plot - the relationship between the senate and the murdered girl, the girl's family, and the three investigators life intertwined to create an absorbing reading. In between there is also the heart-wrenching portrayal of a father-daughter struggle to lead a normal life in all the madness around them. All these coupled with the unexpected ending makes it a gripping read. I would say this does not qualify as a must read for the die-hard murder mystery lover but still holds good on story line and good characters sketches.
