Parallel Peril by Maria Lynn Barrs

              A TV journalist searching for her long-lost sister becomes trapped inside an isolated colony where she must fight to survive—and confront her guilt, her past love, and the terrifying truth about what really happened to her sister.

About the Book: TV journalist Vicky Robeson spent years chasing stories—and the ghost of her sister, who vanished after a childhood tragedy. She tracks a trail of secrets pointing to a mysterious group of fundamentalists living deep in the California foothills. She joins forces with her former lover to locate the isolated colony and discovers that women are trapped there for nefarious purposes. What begins as a search for truth turns into a fight for survival. Trapped and cut off from the world, Vicky and her lover risk everything to escape, free the women, and face the terrifying possibility that one of them may be the sister she blames herself for losing.

Our Review: This one hits all the high notes for fans of women’s fiction, suspense and mayhem, all rolled into a crackling travel adventure. Author Barrs knows how to write bad guys—then scares the crap out of her fans with clever plotting and exceptional supporting characters. Very well done!

Based on a scale of 1-5, Parallel Peril merits an 8.
