Authors on Authors: Secrets so Deep

If you are looking for a mystery, legal thriller and romance all rolled into one, this is the book for you. KG MacGregor aptly blends these genres into the backdrop of Capital Hill, and keeps the reader on edge until the very end. The two main characters draw us into their diverse worlds with ease. Glynn Wright, a deep-inthe- closet Republican Congresswoman, shows us her vulnerability when her sixteen year old son attempts suicide. This is the catalyst that starts opening long-closed closet doors. And as you can imagine, most closets hold skeletons. The psychiatrist oncall steps in to assist the young teenager and we are introduced to Dr. Charlotte Blue, psychiatrist extraordinaire. She is the kind of woman you would love to have as a friend; intelligent, witty, strong and dedicated. Glynn recognizes this and immediately reaches out in friendship. Dr. Blue happily responds, but it does not take long for Dr. Blue to question her own ethics and professionalism as her attraction to Glynn grows.

This is a well paced book that is difficult to put down. The mystery keeps you guessing and the dialogue is well written. Attention to detail is obvious as we learn about the inner workings of Congress, good and bad. Early on you are connected to both of the main characters and are as shocked as they are when new information comes to light. The story is a fun blend of nasty politics, the law, psychiatry and romance. Ah, a woman after my own heart. I recommend Secrets So Deep to all.
