Daed Ringer by VB Tenery

Despite Mercy’s protests, Traci’s husband, ex-CIA agent Thomas Wallace, is convinced Mercy is the mother of his ill six-year-old son. With only his son’s welfare in mind, he abducts Mercy and takes her to a private island to care for the boy. But Mercy soon discovers there are men much more dangerous than a father desperate to save his son. Her doppelganger has made deadly enemies—a relentless team of killers who now want her dead. When Thomas is lured into a covert mission to rescue a CIA asset and uncover a government mole, Mercy is left isolated and alone—and Thomas finds himself stranded on foreign soil with a compromised mission and a wounded agent. Fighting against a rogue nation’s timetable for launching a nuclear strike, he has to escape Saudi Arabia alive and rescue Mercy and his son before assassins finish the job they started.

Deadly Communications by Lillian Duncan

Deadly Communications Blurb: Improving communication skills is never easy. In this case, it could be murder! Maven Morris is a speech-language pathologist on medical leave–or as she likes to put it: out to pasture. When she’s offered a lucrative position by one of the community’s most powerful men to help his traumatic-brain-injured daughter improve her communication skills, Maven discovers deadly secrets behind the iron gates of the mansion. Now, she must find the courage to seek justice no matter who gets hurt–even if it’s her. Buy link My Review : This is a lovely, gripping story about what we Brits call a speech therapist. Maven, a beautiful but unusual name, which is exactly right for our heroine. I've never read a book with this profession as the lead character, but it's brilliant. It has characters that live through the pages and a mystery that drags the reader in and keeps them hooked. A real page turner.

I finally managed to update the website :) Being hopelessly tech impaired, when my ISP upgraded their CCGI servers, where I host all my photos, I found myself unable to upload the 18 or so book covers I needed to add. (How many???) Anyway, emails and tweets and help questions went back and forth for several weeks. Then yesterday, they rang and talked me through it. :) So now this page is up to date -  http://www.revell124.plus.com/clarerevell/books.htm brb - washings finished and need to hang it on the line. OK, back. Just hope it doesn't rain because I have limited inside drying space and another two loads to go. And the other thing is: 22 yrs today
