What I did expect was a lot more tension and heart-pound moments, and while there were several (which I loved), the first half of the book kind of dragged for me. I've literally never read a contemporary suspense novel, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Like I said, I don't have much experience with this genre. The ideas are woven seamlessly throughout and really added depth to the story. I found the subject matter of The Truth Teller to be very compelling- medical ethics, motherhood, science, spirituality, the question of truth and more. That said, please take my review for what it is. I'm more of a historical fiction reader, but I'm glad that I did branch out with this one. I should start this review by saying that this is not my typical read. When she’s not home reading or writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers’ conferences. In 2006, Angela completed her Master of Biblical Studies in Theology degree and completed her second doctorate in 2015. Romantic Times Book Club presented her with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. In 2007, her novel The Note was featured as a Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. Her books have won the coveted Christy Award, several Angel Awards from Excellence in Media, and the Gold and Silver Medallions from Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year Award.

Books, she says, have always shaped her life- in the fifth grade she learned how to flirt from reading Gone with the Wind. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City.Īfterward, the dog gave out pawtographs at the airport.Īngela admits to being fascinated by animals, medicine, psychology, unexplained phenomena, and “just about everything” except sports. This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards-one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Now that her two children have reached their thirties, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Turner and Hooch and Sandlot too many times). With over five million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 150 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels.

Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author.
