About the Book State of Lies

Book: State of Lies

Author: Siri Mitchell

Genre: Suspense

Release Date: August 13, 2019

Months after her husband, Sean, is killed by a hit-and-run driver, physicist Georgie Brennan discovers he lied to her about where he had been going that day. A cryptic notebook, a missing computer, and strange noises under her house soon have her questioning everything she thought she knew.

With her job hanging by a thread, her son struggling to cope with his father’s death, and her four-star general father up for confirmation as the next Secretary of Defense, Georgie quickly finds herself tangled in a political intrigue that has no clear agenda and dozens of likely villains. Only one thing is clear: someone wants her dead too.

The more she digs for the truth, the fewer people she can trust.

Not her friends.

Not her parents.

Maybe not even herself.

My Thoughts on State of Lies:

State of Lies will leave you spellbound as you race the clock to finish the book before you become part of it forever. . . . or maybe that was just how I felt.

Wow.  Just wow.  This book was amazing.   I constantly found myself wondering what would happen next.  No cut and dried know who done it from the first-page type book.  No, this one is so intense and twisted and full of suspense!  Wow.  Just wow.  Cannot recommend this book enough.

Georgia Ann, Georgie is quite the lady.  Love her character.  I found myself so drawn to her and wanting to see how life turned out for her.  She grew and became such a different person throughout the story.  Her son Sam is also a favorite of mine with his firm holes.  So cute and love his insistence that his dad is not fully dead.  

I was so invested in this story.  Really I didn’t want to put it down.  My husband was like are you ready for bed?  I just want to read just a little bit more.  The baby wants to nurse.  Sigh.  Okay.  So I would nurse the baby and then I had such a hard choice to stay in bed because this book was calling to me.  And it was so hard to resist the siren call.  

Siri Mitchell is an amazing author.  I am now going to be following her and her pseudonym so that I can read them all!  Definitely going to be a new favorite author I can tell. 

Okay, so a few little bits that I have to say but don’t want to say too much.  Someone is spying.  There are cables that shouldn’t be where they are.  Georgie’s house explodes!  Say what?  Yeap it explodes but don’t worry she gets out.  And why does she get out?  Because her husband taught her son to play a game of what if the bad guys come in the house!  Oh yeah.  It’s so good guys.  Go read this book now!!

But maybe don’t read it if you’re home alone.  And maybe don’t read it if there is a thunderstorm.  Or if it’s dark.  So read it during the day with the lights on and the doors locked.  You’re gonna love it!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit.

A Sense of Place

I’m so excited about the release of State of Lies! Among the many reasons for my excitement is the fact that I set the story in my own home town: Arlington, VA. Here are some things you might not know about Arlington:

1. Arlington was originally included within the borders of Washington, DC.
2. Arlington isn’t actually a city – it’s a county. We’re the smallest self-governing county in the nation.
3. Arlington regularly takes the top spot as the most educated place in the country.
4. Arlington LOVES books. I count at least a dozen different little libraries in my neighborhood alone.
5. Our region often has a hurricane warning or two every hurricane season. Can you guess where I’ve seen the longest lines when people start to make last-minute preparations? It’s not the grocery store; it’s not the hardware store. It’s the library! (Why wouldn’t you stock up on books too?)
6. We host Arlington National Cemetery, the Iwo Jima Marine Corps War Memorial, and the Pentagon.
7. We are home to the very first Five Guys hamburger joint location.
8. We are also home to the headquarters of over a dozen national agencies as well as organizations like Rosetta Stone and Nestlé.
9. People who attended our high schools include Sandra Bullock, Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine, Katie Couric, and Patch Adams.
10. The thing I love most about Arlington? It’s people. Countless government contractors members of the federal workforce live here. I number them among my friends and neighbors. I’ve never met a group more dedicated, more informed, or more determined to put their expertise to good use. And guess what? My heroine, Georgie Brennan, is one of them!
