Very Cool Thriller

Loved the CIA info -- and definitely written by someone who knows that world well. Excellent first book -- i read it years ago, went back and read it again after reading more of Taylor's novels. Intelligent, tight, wonderful -

Excellent Find!

I just stumbled upon Taylor Smith while browsing the books section in my local wholesale club. I bought two books Jackie Collins and Taylor Smith.Jackie Collins is my favorite author so I had an idea of what to expect. I had never heard of Taylor Smith but the sneak peek of the story on the back cover grabbed my attention quickly. It did not stop for a moment during the entire book. Watching and rooting for Mariah as she searches for the answers as to what really happened in Vienna, was great reading! This book will grab your attention from page 1 and will not let go! This was a deliciouly spellbinding read from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

CIA and More

The character of Mariah Bolt as a CIA Operative is exciting and interesting. The story of her involvement in trying to find out what happened to her husband and daughter takes her into a web of a variety of places and people. It was an exciting read.

CIA and Romance - an interesting combination!

Guilt by Silence is Taylor Smith's debut romantic mystery. Full of enough plot twists and turns to keep a reader guessing until the very end. I stayed up into the wee hours to finish it. I could not put it down. The story of a young mother Mariah Bolt, a CIA officer, trying to cope with the aftermath of an accident in Vienna which left her young daughter severely injured and her brilliant husband David Tardiff paralyzed from the neck down and mentally impaired.. Now back in the United States, she is approached by a Paul Chaney, a foreign correspondent who tells her the accident may not have been an accident at all. She brushes him off and tries to forget his suggestions until it becomes apparent that she is being followed and she and her daughter are being threatened. When she is notified of her husband's death she finds she doesn't know who to trust and Paul Chaney may be her only ally. I highly recommend this great romantic mystery.
