About this ebook
The Reverend
Lee Barker went missing nineteen years ago… And the people of Stillwater, Mississippi, believe they know why. They’re convinced he was murdered – by his stepson, Clay Montgomery. But only Clay – and his mother and sisters – can say for sure. They were the only ones there that fateful night, the only ones who know what really happened. And they’re not talking.
Allie McCormick is a cold-case detective from Chicago. After a particularly difficult divorce, she’s returned to Stillwater with her six-year-old daughter to find the peace she once knew in her home town and to work for the local police force while she’s starting over. But when Clay’s powerful enemies join forces to put him behind bars, Allie feels duty bound to uncover the truth. Her instincts tell her he didn’t murder the Reverend Lee Barker.
Maybe Clay’s a dark and brooding man with more than his share of secrets, but he was just sixteen at the time. And he’s not a cold-blooded killer. At least, that’s what Allie believes – until she finds proof that behind the preacher’s pious demeanour lurked the heart of a monster. Then she has to ask herself whether justice has already been done…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sometimes the second book in a series lags well behind the first, not so in this case. I couldn't wait to see what happened to Clay, Grace's brother. Clay had taken responsibility for the whole family at such a young age and the entire town is afraid of him. Enter Allie McCormick, new ton the local police force and with a history of solving cold cases. Allie begins trying to find the answers, and gets more than she bargained for.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A few days ago I finished the first book in the Stillwater trilogy, Dead Silence. I enjoyed the book so much, I picked up the sequel Dead Giveaway right away, and started it. I read it in record time. I just couldn’t put it down. The plot was so intense. Even the sub-plots were interesting. The chemistry between Allie and Clay was electric. Their chemisty made Dead Giveaway seem a lot more spicy than Dead Silence, and really the romance/sex was kept to a minium, which should be the case for the books genre; romantic suspense. Personally, I think Brenda Novak could have pulled off having a few more love scenes between Allie and Clay. I also have to mention the ending to this book. Which was very smart thinking on Allie part. The Vincelli’s saw the truth in the end.Both books from the series have been page turners from start to finsih. I hope the 3rd book, Dead Right is just as exciting. I can’t wait to read it.
