Unspoken by Dee Henderson

Charlotte Graham is at the center of the most famous kidnapping in Chicago history.

The task force of FBI and local cops found her two abductors, killed them, rescued her, but it took four very long years. The fact she was found less than three miles from her home, had been there the entire time, haunts them. She's changed her identity, found a profession she loves, and rebuilt her life.

She's never said a word--to the cops, to her doctors, to family--about those four years.

A family legacy has brought her back to Chicago where a reporter is writing a book about the kidnapping. The cops who worked the case are cooperating with him. Her options are limited: Hope the reporter doesn't find the full truth, or break her silence about what happened. And her silence is what has protected her family for years.

Bryce Bishop doesn't know her past, he only knows she has coins to sell from her grandfather's estate--and that the FBI director for the Chicago office made the introduction. The more he gets to know Charlotte, the more interested he becomes, an interest encouraged by those closest to her. But nothing else is working in his favor--she's decided she is single for life, she struggles with her faith, and she's willing to forego a huge inheritance to keep her privacy. She's not giving him much of an opening to work with.

Charlotte wants to trust him. She needs to tell him what happened. Because a crime cops thought was solved, has only opened another chapter...

My Thoughts:
 

Dee Henderson has been a long time favorite author of mine. She was also the author that made me fall in love with Christian Fiction. Needless to say I was excited when I saw her new book.

I was expecting Dee Henderson’s typical suspense with this novel. It just was different then what I expected. The characters I felt like I didn’t get to know well enough. The action was slow and I had a hard time at times reading on. I had to force myself to finish it. Usually I am done in a day or so. There was way too much information about rare coins. Not enough indebt characters to make me feel like I knew them. 

I wouldn’t say it was a horrible plot and a book not worth reading. I just didn’t grab my attention. I am a loyal fan of Dee Henderson and look forward to her next book.

This book has been provided to me my by Bethany House Publisher free of charge and in no way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
