Full Disclosure

Full Disclosure is Dee Henderson's first book in a looooooooooooooooooong time. As one of my favorite authors, I have been anticipating this book for years.

Full Disclosure is remarkable storytelling that fans of Dee Henderson have come to expect. She introduces us to FBI Agent, Paul Falcon, and Midwest Homicide Investigator, Ann Silver. Both highly respected in their fields and running in many of the same social circles, yet they are unknown to each other until Ann brings a case to Paul's attention. Their initial meeting sparks an investigation that will change both their lives and a relationship that will last for the rest off their lives. This isn't an action-packed novel like some of Henderson's previous works. In this book the action doesn't take center stage but appears to be sidelined for a story that is based on trust. You will be treated to an investigation that spans thousands of miles, lots of cups of coffee, and a few months. When you think you've figured it out, you'll be back at the drawing board just like the investigators. 

Ann Silver has many high-profile friends in her circle. She's the top of her field and respected as a cop, author, and pilot. She's also happily ensconced in her life as a single woman. Paul Falcon is the oldest son of a high-profile family and yet he chose to become an FBI agent until he steps in to run the family empire. He's come to the place where he's ready to slow the action-filled pace of his life and settle down. What I found most interesting in the love story of Full Disclosure is that any reader can probably see aspects of themselves in both Paul and Ann. Ann fears commitment and is content with her life. Paul isn't content, wants more, and is ready to make that commitment. How do you convince someone who isn't ready nor thinks she will ever be ready to be a wife that she is the one you are choosing? How do you convince a great guy that his interest in you is misplaced? How the relationship plays out and the trust that grows between them was really quite beautiful to read. In particular there is a wonderful exchange between Ann and Paul that introduces Lovely so marvelously that I re-read it multiple times. 

As twists and turns take you on a ride through Full Disclosure, you'll notice yourself asking the hard questions about trust. If you've ever read any of Henderson's other books, you'll certainly fall in love with Full Disclosure. If this is your first time reading one of her books, you'll find yourself racing out to buy her other books.
