The Rivers Run Dry by Sibella Giorello

In The Rivers Run Dry by Sibella Giorello, FBI Agent Raleigh Harmon receives a disciplinary transfer from Virginia to the great Northwest. She arrives to less than agreeable circumstances and is quickly called to the scene of a young female hiker’s disappearance. Throughout the case, Raleigh must deal with a clairvoyant, parent’s who seem to be hiding something but insist their daughter has been kidnapped, a arrogant coworker, a new age aunt, an undercover poker game and a “friend” with fatal intentions.

I loved this book! The Rivers Run Dry is a well written, suspenseful novel that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I really liked that the book was not “predictable” Christian fiction, neatly wrapped in Scripture references and “christianese.”
