5.0 out of 5 stars The Faith McClellen Series is a winner!
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
The first book of Lyndee Walker's new series, Faith McClellan Novels, starts off with a bang and doesn't let up until the end.

In a new job with the Texas Rangers, former investigator with the State troopers, Faith McClellan, is doing nothing but being used as a glorified delivery person and assistant instead being out in the field, which she loves. When she hears about an unresponsive girl found by the dam, Faith decides to take an alternate route back to her office to check it out. Finding a locket containing photos of the victim and a boy, Faith recognizes him and his high profile father.

Police feel the victim committed suicide, but Faith's gut is telling her something else. Taking a week of vacation so she can help her former partner with the troopers investigate, the investigation leads to a town full of secrets, all of which people want to keep hidden.

If you have read Ms. Walker's Nichelle Clarke series, then you know what a wonderful writer Ms. Walker is. This is a very well written book that pulls you into the story and will have you staying up at night to finish it as I did. It is a book that you will not want to stop reading until you finish it. 5 Stars!!

Please note I was given a copy of the book by the author for a review

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, nail-biting thriller
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018

Fear No Truth, the first in the new Faith McClellan series, is a psychological thriller in the vein of Hank Phillipi Ryan and Phillip Margolin. Faith McClellan is determined to find out what happened to a dead teen, but her quest will take her down a dark, twisted rabbit hole that will demand her all and more. For me, there were disturbing parts, but they were necessary to this tightly-constructed thriller. I love Walker's Nichelle Clarke series and can read them late into the night, but I could not do that with Fear No Truth because it haunted me long after I closed the book. I can't wait to read the next Faith McClellan book and highly recommend Fear No Truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walker Is Among The Best Suspense Writers Working Today
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019

There is a character in this murder thriller who is a runner, the fastest runner anyone knows, a champion of speed. I’d apply this concept to the way LynDee Walker writes: She is the speed demon of plot. I’ve read hundreds of suspense/detective/thriller novels, and no one else moves the plot along as fast as she does. It’s dizzying. And I mean that in a good way. The detectives in the story can barely keep up with the twists and turns and surprises. Likewise the reader.

After I read a couple of her Nichelle Clark crime thrillers, I became hooked on Walker. I thought I’d try her newest character, Faith McClellan, a dedicated detective with the Texas Rangers, who comes from a dysfunctional family, has tragedy in her past, and some quirky and touching relationships with her colleagues. I am delighted to say that Walker is able to simultaneously create a new character and a frenetic new plot, drawing the reader in from page one, immediately generating suspense along with deliciously frantic curiosity about McClellan’s life.

A good suspense writer is a tease. Walker teases us with tidbits from McClellan’s past, frustrating the reader with the desire to know more, more, more. Meanwhile, the plot hurtles on like a runaway roller coaster, as does the spot-on dialogue. Every 25 pages or so, the reader is lead to a different perpetrator, only to be gobsmacked 25 pages after that (and toward the end, nearly twice as often!). That’s great suspense. The result is that you, the reader, will be up past your bedtime. “Just one more chapter, then I can turn out the light. No, just one more after that. I promise. No, no. Something just threw the plot into turmoil again. Just one more chapter, I swear.” Give it up. Just finish the book, even if it’s 2 a.m. in the dead of night.

In short, here is a murder thriller with a bracing, lightning-paced plot, subtle character development, a boatload of surprises, whip-smart dialogue, and enough humor to keep your brain from exploding due to Fiction Induced Stress Trauma (FIST). Yes, that’s a real diagnosis in DSM-V. Look it up if you don’t believe me. The ending will leave you a bit shaken, but isn’t that what the best suspense fiction is supposed to do?

I have a long list of favorite suspense writers. Walker is on that list. With each book of hers that I read, she moves up the list. Where it will end, I can’t say. But I’m staying with her for the wild ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing characters - I loved this book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018

Murder mystery has never been my favorite cup of tea, but this novel sucked me in and wouldn't let go. The characters, especially the protagonist, Faith, really feel human and real. I found myself rooting for her, feeling for her, and wanting to know more about her life and her past.

As for the mystery itself, bravo! There were twists upon twists, but they all made sense. I never got lost (which is a problem I often have with the genre) and I always found myself REALLY WANTING to know the answers to the questions that kept popping up. No spoilers of course - but I loved the ending, and the way all the countless puzzle pieces fell into place. It didn't feel like a stretch - it all made sense - and it left me completely satisfied.

I'm really looking forward to the continuation of this series! I can't wait to learn more about Faith's past, and to see what she's able to unearth next. Well done, Ms. Walker.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot but Insulting to your Reader Base
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019
Verified Purchase
I'm not quite sure who this author believes her reader base is but when any reference to the Second Amendment (in a storyline in Texas no less) involves AR15 toting nutbags or a murderer who uses stun guns on gay kids you've insulted a good portion of your reader group. Even a steller plot won't bring me back to read another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever wonder what a Texas Ranger does?
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019

Once in a while, you read a book that grabs you from the first scene and doesn't let go. For me, it was FEAR NO TRUTH by LynDee Walker. Not only was I fully invested in the mystery (no spoilers) of who killed the young teen track star with Stanford aspirations, but I also wanted to get inside the head (and complex past) of the young female Texas Ranger protagonist, Faith.

Do yourself a favor and read it. You'll be happily in Ms. Walker's very capable writerly hands.

A very gripping story with plenty of twists to keep you guessing. The lead character's personality is well written and she is very believable.
