Dee had a few suggestions a while ago... I can't remember what they were ;( ...But I read The Negotiator - and I wrote a brief review. It was very focussed on family relationships, more so the the action/mystery. It definitely had a religious aspect, but it wasn't too strong for the 'lay' reader as I recall. I gave it 3 stars...

Thanks Jane (PS). Good suggestion. I think I'm gonna read this since it also has the right character's name. I need the "O" for A-Z Female. It fits at least two of my (too) many challenges. :-)

...I noticed someone recommended The Negotiator in the June PIFM challenge as a good 'stormy night' read... Can't remember who - but hope you enjoy it.
